Glan Conwy General Stores is a local shop for local people. It always reminds me a bit of…read moreArkwrights shop in 'Open All Hours'. It is very small and isn't the sort of place you'd ever think of for the weekly shop. However if you need a newspaper, loaf of bread or tin of beans you'll probably find them here as despite the lack of space they squeeze in most of the basics. It isn't the best location for parking but I suppose most of the potential customers live within walking distance. They also have long opening hours and always seem to be open when I go there. A very useful community asset.

Not a bad shop, well stocked for such a small place (could be tidier though)…read more The weekday staff are very pleasant but evenings and weekends are a bit his and miss as the staff can be a little apathetic and offhand. The worst of all is the vile 'Man in Black' a rake thin youth with extravagantly coifed hair habitually dressed head to toe in black. This young man seems to have nothing but contempt and loathing for anyone who walks in the door (he seems to have taken a particular dislike to me) No greeting when you walk in, a faint sneer on his face when serving (sometimes giving way to open amusement), goods are slammed on the counter rather too forcefully and a reluctance to move out of your way (or a weary sigh when asked to move) when he is stocking shelves/fridge's etc. Sadly (for me anyway) he now seems to have enlisted the aid of the woman who works Saturday afternoons (don't know her name but she has a multi coloured hairdo more suitable for someone twenty years younger) as I walked in on Saturday and both of them seemed to be highly amused by me (and did little to conceal the fact) Not very nice really, it's getting to the point where I feel uncomfortable going into the shop when this young man is working and I reluctantly go to the Coop over the road. Talking to some friends about this last night it seems I'm not the only one he's managed to alienate as quite a few feel the same way as I do. If anyone in a management/supervisory position at the Broadway reads this, do something please he (and to a lesser extent his Saturday PM cohort) do little to enhance your business.
