Yes, BUT they introduced some crazy screens in the cafe like a giant app to order. People who work…read morethere are as lovely as ever, food great, but giant app screens are not our thing so we won't be going back to the cafe. So bloody complicated; feel like I'm working for Tesco myself. Thought hospitality industry had got over this kind of nonsense 30years ago. Meanwhile, you could also get rid of half those self service stands and put your staff back on the till where we can talk to them.
Very large store , has such a wide range of products, homeware, electrical goods, clothing, have a…read morepharmacy. Nice size cafe upstairs also has very clean toilets. Also plenty of car parking facilities. This is the store that i would love to have close by , it has uverything under one roof, which is great when you have small kids and dont want to go traipsng round different stores. Would definately recommend this store, also has a new fresh feel to it.
A pretty average supermarket located in Southport town centre, the selection is OK, and while it…read moreisn't a huge Sainsbury's I was able to get most of the few items which I needed. The staff seemed friendly enough and they do support the Sainsburys Smartshop feature of being able to scan items on your phone, which I like. I do prefer the nearby ASDA store, elsewhere in Southport town centre as it is slightly larger and has easier car-parking, but this isn't a bad alternative. The walk from the town centre might be short, but it is poorly lit and with bollards on the pavement, it feels like an accident waiting to happen, but admittedly it isn't the store's fault and that is up to the local council. 3* - The modal rating on Yelp pretty much sums it up.
A lot of my Southport reviews stem from nostalgia, and this is one that completely relies upon it…read more Okay, so a Sainsbury's is a Sainsbury's is a Sainsbury's. But this one is located so oddly, I've never quite understood how the car park for it seems to be located in an entirely different section of Southport. Anyway, confusing geographics aside, Southport is spoiled for supermarkets. It genuinely is. Manchester is not. This irritates me. Back when I used to work my summer jobs in this fair town during my university days, playing house when the parentals were on holiday, I'd be spoiled for choice with Safeway, Morrisons, Waitrose, Asda, Tesco and this. I know, who do Southportians think they are? This is a decently large Sainsbury's, and for some strange reason the street on which it's located is full of accountants and solicitors' offices. It's easily accessible from whatever part of Southport you're in (that confusing car park again), and it stocks a wide range of stuff, harbouring a great bakery section as well as a good range of beer and wine and some great cooking ingredients. Aces!

I think the refurbishment looks good, it certainly needed it.

Southport was really buzzing we hadn't seen so many people like that for a long time, so, unbelievably, the market is closed. After the time we have been through, I would have thought that every opportunity to get things moving would be jumped at, why is it closed? many people where turning up to discover the same thing, no money will be made with the doors locked. K.D.
