This Tesco store is a worthy branch to be called a "Superstore", they just seem to give it out to near enough any store, which honestly isn't super at all, just look at the Rochdale branch. I honestly prefer Tesco Extras and they are the real superstores, but this review in particular is for a Tesco Superstore, in Bury, in the Woodfields Retail Park.
This Tesco store is open mainly 24 hours on week days and is open later on Sundays, although opening at 11pm, I still think it is nice they stay open till 5 but in all honesty I feel the restrictions, put into place by the government shouldn't stand at all, Tesco have no control over this but hopefully something should be in place soon with George Osborne announcing longer trading hours in his budget.
This store has scan as you shop facilities, which are nice, handy machines where you basically scan as you shop, and you can basically pack as you go along and just pay at the machine by scanning your machine to the specially designed tills, these machines could do with a lot more work, recognising certain barcodes especially of new products and bakery items, but still are pretty nice to have in a store, as it also means avoiding queuing.
The staff here seemed quite nice, and it is quite a nice, big Tesco store and one of the better ones in the area, when you compare it to the likes of Middleton and Rochdale for example.
The frozen free from range is very good, with a big, full freezer, it stocks most of the Tesco range, even some products which I can't get online in Middleton, so it is well worth a visit for free fromers who want to get Tesco's best frozen items, of which should be stocked in ALL stores!!
They is a Costa in this store, you can take that as a good thing or a bad thing, due to that I don't think they is a Tesco cafe, which grabbing a breakfast seems like not an option, which I like to do in my local Tesco cafe, and this honestly isn't a nice Costa branch, as I did feel very ill after visiting here and they do not accept Tesco clubcard points, just costa cards.
This store is located in a retail park, so it doesn't seem to be local to any smaller area, just a superstore close to the city centre, so it can be a bit of a hassle to come here, and using this reason along with the Costa/Cafe situation, I can only give 3 stars, without these problems it would definitley be a four. read more
