Sainsbury's Local on Watergate St is in a useful location within Chester Town centre, it is a decent size branch, obviously, you can't do a weekly shop here but the selection is A-OK in terms of essentials.
The store has two entrances, the front entrance has a staircase (with a lift) and escalator, or if you let the staff know there's a back entrance.
The staff seemed really friendly and happy to help, which was good.
Considering, this is only a "Local" store, they did have a good selection of fresh meats, I picked up some excellent quality turkey, and they also have a bakery section.
The checkouts were easy to use and simple.
They are missing a trick by not having a coffee machine here though, especially as Tesco Express' town centre store (and Superstore) does, so it would be useful, but I dislike Costa Coffee anyway which most coffee machines seem to use.
4* - The extra star is mainly for the friendliness and the helpfulness of the staff, while the selection is OK. read more
