This branch of Sainsburys is classed as a Sainsburys Local. Initially I thought this meant it was a…read moresmall branch, but in fact it's about the same size as the Sainsburys in Yarm High Street, just a mile or so down the road. In fact, I think the 'Local' tag actually indicates that it's a sort of open-all-hours place. I think this one is open from 6am til 11pm every day. This is a nice little branch, well laid out and brightly lit. Staff are helpful and friendly. It's located at the end of the Orchard Shops, near the library. They stock a good range of products, but it really doesn't have as good a range as the Yarm High Street branch. Also, I notice that a lot of the prices are higher in the Local than in the High Street branch, even though they are both Sainsburys. For example, a 750 ml bottle of Sainsburys mineral water was about 59p at the Sainsburys Local, and the same bottle was about 34p in the High Street branch of Sainsburys.

If any store keeper/retail outlet wants to know the real meaning of customer service then this is where they need to visit. I just popped in for a drink and some chewing gum and stayed a good 5 minutes talking. The owners really do have the right attitude. A big old 5 stars!!

This is a great local shop that stocks a wide selection of those items you always seem to run out…read moreof or forget to pick up on your weekly shop. They have a good range of fresh fruit and veg, and the wine selection is quite extensive. There are often some good offers on the wine and beers if you buy more than one bottle. In the chilled cabinet at the back of the shop there is a lot of different cheeses and cold meats which are handy for packed lunches. They also do bread and rolls and I have been known to nip here for them when we run out during a barbecue. They also sell tobacco and you can top up your mobile, gascard and electric card here. The staff are really nice and if you want a carrier bag you have to ask for one.

Around The Clock is more than just a convenience store. Of course, it does sell the items you would…read moreexpect to find, a healthy selection of magazines, and a wide range of snacks and sweets. However, the staff at this branch on the Headrow are so friendly. My dad was recently in Leeds on business and he had forgotten to bring any toothpaste with him. Sure, people remind you never to forget your toothbrush, but where is the same warning for its matching paste? An oversight. We were going for a few drinks at Mr Foley's and supper at Tampopo, when we made the detour into Around The Clock to remedy the problem. My dad politely asked the guy behind the counter of its whereabouts, and the three men who were serving in the shop started singing an impromptu rap-cum-song about toothpaste! An excellent moment in the day. After being touched by their camaraderie, we bought a few other items, and left feeling uplifted and amused in equal measures. The performances are not scheduled, but do pop in any time for brilliant customer service of a well stocked local shop.
