This is the only supermarket I now shop due to its perfect location to Brookwood Train station and is quite an impressive size given that it started life as part of hospital wing as far back as the mid nineteenth century.
It employs around an additional 150 staff during the Christmas season, so is a fantastic employer to those living within the local area desperately seeking work. As with all economy supermarkets, its value range is particularly generous, though recent inflation has caused prices to rise sharply on many of the basics products as I can testify, yet they compensate consumers with some good deals on higher end products as a means of loyalty reward.
The advantages of shopping at this store is the low-tariff on their energy deals and triple point rewards on petrol and other goods, but you have dig deep to make the points worth their value. The pharmacy is most definitely the focal point of the store and why it attracts people living within a 10 mile radius of the supermarket and is even open on a Sunday and late nights in week days.
In addition, because there are a lot of business executives living locally, this branch has an impressive stationary aisle completely dedicated to such consumers and school children alike. There is no stationers in Knaphill (only the post office) that retails a minimal stock of writing implements, so is a brilliant initiative of Sainsbury's to include this merchandise as part of their expansive product range.
Their annual turnover is not clear, but given that they profit from lucrative high tax returns and investors alike; makes them a shrewd mass grocers on the whole and how it is that they now operate a banking service, offering good deals on their loans.
I would not describe this supermarket as small by any means: the car park alone measures at 750 parking spaces wide which gives some idea of just how large the supermarket really is (a quarter of this has now become a place of learning) with an in store computer emporium for children and young people.
The one criticism I have of this supermarket is that they frequently alter the layout of their aisles especially at Christmas and Easter. They also waste a lot of food that hasn't passed its sell by date given strict health and safety regulations, yet the food is still definitely edible as well as in consumable state. This is a common feature of all supermarket chains now that is still very much a debatable topic of discussion.
All other positive facts about this indoor bountiful, is that the trollies don't require a deposit of money and they have introduced more affordable prices on their restaurant meal deals such as 2 for £7.00. They are also one of the rarest of supermarkets to seriously slash their prices on clothing once their line of stock no longer meets the seasonal standards. Both of my recent skirts cost just £1.00 each!
Overall, a phenomenal place to shop despite how busy it gets during peak hours. read more
