I don't know how or why I've never reviewed Newspoint before when it is one of the main and only…read morenewsagents in the Arndale Shopping Centre, and something I use quite regularly. Newspoint is situated on the top floor of the Arndale, very close to both Subway, Greggs and ALDI as well as the toilets across the way, so it is in a good location, also close to both Nando's and Bella Itallia and even the main car park lifts. This newsagents is quite small, and simply acts as a to-go store mainly specialising in stuff you'd need while around the arndale, such as a good selection of drinks, a reasonable selection of snacks which looked quite depleted and understocked on my visit, and a decent yet not fantastic range of newspapers. Here, they stocked a good range of drinks including San Pellegrino and Lipton Iced Tea's, they have a large amount of names here which is good, however they seem to only stock few flavours from these brands, meaning they is big selecton for brands, but for those brands - it is a small selection. The staff here seemed okay, although a little dis-interested, they were 2 staff sat behind such a small counter, which wasn't really needed, and he seemed to be their for company rather than helping for work in a busy, central attention and therefore I didn't feel like I was getting the attention I deserve and should get, as a customer to his store. They have a small range of Manchester merchandise here too, but other than a few measly postcards and fridge magnets, and I mean a few they isn't a lot here and this isn't really a place you'd go for souvenirs anyway. The store is quite small and narrow, hence the selection is limited, despite a large drinks fridge on the back row, and it could appear narrow meaning you have to near enough walk in single file, and it is hard to get around with wheelchairs, due to the small cramped nature, it can be hard to miss certain items, and of course they can't stock everything which they would like, and which the customer would like too. I like this newsagents, but it really is a little too small, I feel it would have deserved 3 stars but this just shows how staff play a role in the business, and due to them looking like the "owners" of the store but yet dis-interested and not really friendly, I feel I can only give a two.

The guy serving is very jovial and often would indulge you in a chat about his latest business acquisitions. A good laugh as well. The collection of drinks, crisps and cigarettes keeps everyone in the Arndale a happy person.

Whilst you may think this somewhat takes away from any character - indeed, the sign makes it look like a chain, don't worry. The staff more than make up for this with their chat and banter as they serve you with your magazine or chocolate bar. They look like they stand there behind the counter basically having fun all day and inviting you to join in.

If you're having a wander around the Deansgate area, or if you've just finished up a tasty plate of porcini tagliatelle at nearby Pesto, and you're on your way to the AMC this little newsagent is pretty much your last chance for sweeties until the cinema lobby. Why would you pay almost £3 for a bag of Revels when you can pick them up here for almost half that, or why not indulge in something they don't have at the popcorn counter, a Caramac maybe. Imagine how cool you would be eating a Caramac watching the latest Nicolas Cage disappointment. So cool.

i have a strange love for Star News. I passed it every day for three years on the way to…read moreuniversity, and popped in each day on the way home for a packet of Mini Cheddars. I also always thought it was cool that they sell plastic pint glasses, but rather than Trisha, who sees them as an ideal accompaniment to a house party (no doubt they are) I furnished y student kitchen with them, so as to avoid having to wash up. Yes I am a disgrace, but those days are over, I promise. The bloke who is always there is well nice as well. I wish i could say more good things about this shop but it is otherwise pretty normal,

They also keep plastic glasses and shot glasses which you will find missing in most of these kind of shops. When you're out, up and about for a houseparty, the last minute glasses et al really need to make it! Star News to the rescue!

It is located on the Upper Level near the so called foodcourt containing the likes of BB's, Burger King, Subway and Chicken Cottage. I came here to post a letter, there didnt seem to be a Post Box, it just was a hidden counter service, it didn't feel like a full post office but they did still sell a selection of envelopes. There was a large selection of drinks, however some of the pricing was a little expensive such as a Lipton Iced Tea costing £1.29 which normally retals at around £0.99. The overall vibe and feel of the store was average, not too great but one thing saved this store from getting a low two star rating and that was - Customer Service. Having been well and truly drowned in the Manchester rain, my envelope was ruined and wet too, but the man behind the counter went out of his way and gave me a free envelope and a pen to use to re-write the event and then of course he helped get it posted for me, which was really kind. Shop as a whole - 2 stars Customer Service - 4 stars Overall - 3 stars
