Super convenient to my hotel, this place was a godsend. Anything you need from a munchy…read moreperspective, this place has it. People were always restocking shelves so you had plenty to choose from. We used both the self service and the manned checkout stands and they were equally efficient. Aisles were wide and the place was very tidy. If I lived nearby I would probably be in here every day.

This is one of the newer Tesco stores located in the central area in Sauchiehall street…read more This shop is well stocked with unusual imported foods that you would find hard to get in an international food store, I'm in general not a fan of Tesco and will only shop there if there is no where else open late. I find the security staff intimidating and rude I think one guy there has mummy issues and should really have counselling and not be taking his anger out on customers who do no wrong. The self service section is a joke as half of them have not been switched on and the one l used made me feel as if l just won the jackpot on a fruit machine in a pub, how can a shop justify paying a customer 62p change in 2p pieces. Ice cream that has been defrosted is being re frozen and sold again when l reported the issue to the duty manager he did nothing. Tesco sort yourselves out!

This 24 hour Spar is a very valuable asset to this end of Great Western Road. The staff are lovely,…read morevery friendly and always pleasant no matter how drunk some of the customers can be when they stumble in here. As for the stock, they have loads and loads of stuff. By this I do not mean, the world's biggest range of crisps. I mean they have all the usual chocolate, crisps and fizzy juice as well as ciggies, rolling papers and tobacco. However, you'll also find good two for £2 deals on litres of fruit juice (perfect for picking up on the way home for a Sunday morning breakfast). You'll also find a good range of - slightly overpriced - cheeses, meats and homemade samosas. Meanwhile, for the fast food folks among you there is a pretty good selection of frozen pizzas, chips, burgers and, of course, ice creams near the back of the shop. They even have an impressive range of Scot Pac stuff including scissors, super glue, thread and all that kind of stuff that you never think about until you need. Absolutely excellent.

Does that really warrant five stars? No. This gets five stars because of the staff, who are some of the warmest, friendliest, most patient convenience store staff I've ever encountered. I just popped in to get a pint of milk. I wasn't feeling great, I have a bit of a cold. The guy behind the counter assured me that all I needed was a sunny weekend and I'd be right as rain. I nodded politely. He then gave me double finger guns THEN a double thumbs up. I left feeling much better.

Known locally as the "first shop" on account of it being the first you reach while trapsing along…read moreQueen Margaret Drive, this friendly store is half-corner shop, half supermarket. Primarily it has thrived over the years by identifying that: a) students live nearby, and b) students don't like to walk. As such, rather than simply stocking the usual newsagent fare, it has a small extension packed with the sort of niggly household goods which would generally require a visit to the supermarket - Waitrose, a further five minute walk away and Tesco, 10 minutes in the other direction. It's perhaps a little pricier but you're paying for convenience, and with a license to sell alcohol as well, it's pretty much a one-stop shop for North Kelvinside's student community.

The mini mart has been here for what feels like eternity. In…read morethe past they used to have this shop open 24 hours, but as trends change so did the opening hours. This is still a good shop but it's one that I rarely stop by at to buy anything more than juice and even that's a rare occasion, and I think the reason is that they rarely support any Scottish or even British businesses for example they buy in bakery items amongst many other items in from Holland or Germany probably because it's cheaper but they mark up the prices higher than regular shops. But still they are one of the few shops that are open at 6am.

Just another convenience store on Argyle Street, basically one business away from a Tesco Express,…read moreso wondering how it has survived would be reasonable. I can tell you how: It's the only place to buy groceries on this part of Argyle Street that's open 24 hours a day. That's worth something when everywhere else has closed and you're out of milk... or worse, toilet paper. They're actually not bad for a convenience store, either. The prices are steep-ish but not extortionate and they're the kind of store that also has lots of handy little bits and pieces. So, maybe you're only going in for a loaf of bread, but if you realise you need a pack of safety pins or a bottle opener or something, they'll likely have that too. Oh, and there's a cash machine right outside which doesn't charge and never seems to have a queue in front of it, even when the one outside Tesco has a massive queue. I have no idea why no one wants to use this one - maybe they just don't know it's there?

They sell fresh bread, fruit and vegetables, along with the usual confectionary, crisps, newspapers, magazines and the like. The also have a small freezer section and some luxury cakes and desserts. One of the best things about this Spar is the post office facility, which is located at the main counter. The staff are very friendly and happy to help, and the location is very handy for the residents of this area. The shop is wheelchair accessible. The prices are average for a corner shop - more expensive than a supermarket but a lot handier.

There are two major advantages to this store:…read more 1. They stay open 'til midnight 2. They apparently consistently overstock on fresh fruit, veg, meat and fish - which means they then need to reduce these items when not enough of them are bought. So that's ideal if you're looking for a something for a cheap dinner the same evening (or if you have plenty of freezer space). There are issues, though. Although it's a large store it has huge rushes around midday and 5pm and the crowds don't disperse very easily. The queueing system seems to confuse a lot of customers (it's easy, folks, stand to the left if you want a traditional checkout, stand to the right if you want a self service one). Even when they get it right, at peak times these queues obstruct the fresh juices and the fresh vegetables. The timings for restocking shelves also seem to be far from logical and are usually planned to run right into the 5pm rush. Actually, this seems to be a problem for every Tesco Metro I've visited, so perhaps this store can't be blamed by itself. It is a fair bit bigger than the other convenience store branches of Tesco in the West End and they do have a good range of products. It is handy for a quick lunch deal or to grab a few items on the way home. Although be careful, being a convenience store means the prices of some items can be weirdly high, sometimes you might be better going to Waitrose or M&S. So clearly it has its place on Byres Road but I wish they'd find a way to fix those niggly issues.
