This branch of Sainsbury's is styled as Sainsbury's Local store, located in Liverpool Central on Ranelagh Street, it is probably one of the best places in the Liverpool Central station to get some essentials for your journey or to take home, odds are if you're at Liverpool Central station you would be heading home as it is mainly used for Merseyrail services in the local Merseyside area. The store inside isn't as modern as other Sainsbury's Local stores in city centres or even railway stations (compare to Manchester Piccadilly), but it gets the job done... well sort of.
Selection of most items was small, especially the Free From section which was pretty much non-existent.
Staff around the store didn't seem too helpful, I was told they didn't have a particular item, they didn't make as much effort as other stores have in the past to help me find it, taking one glance and just saying no, which was disappointing on both levels of service and stock.
Location wise it is convenient if you are getting the train to get something for your journey or to take home, while not being the nicest convenience store in terms of overall feel and stock apart from that, considering service factors too which let the store down, I feel only a two-star rating saves it, which is mainly for providing a basic level of services to serve Liverpool Central station. read more
