This is a good Sainsbury's supermarket, serving Urmston town centre, located in Eden Square…read more Despite not being the largest or most modern Sainsbury's store around, the store and its' facilities are good, including an Argos, Lloyds Pharmacy and a Starbucks. I was disappointed by certain ranges in store, importantly the Free From range which was very depleted and lacked any real selection, which is not usually what one would expect from Sainsbury's. The checkout area is well set out, for manned and self-service checkouts, with all self-service checkouts supporting the SmartShop app where you can scan and bag items as you're walking around the store. The store's car park is shared by the Eden Square shopping centre, and parking is free for up to three hours, but you may have to park a short walk away from your car compared to other Sainsbury's stores. 3* - I'm sure this is a very useful and appreciated store by residents in the town of Urmston, even though it may not meet Sainsbury's standards in some ways, it is still a good store that I would return to if I'm in the area.

A fantastic new store opened in june 2009 in the new ASK development Eden Square. Its got a large…read morecar park and also next to the trolley,s by the side door a number of racks for attaching your bike. The store is well equipped and air conditioned with lots of friendly staff that are encouraging us to use the automated self service check-outs to pay for our items. The store has a nice on site cafe which I have yet to try.There is a very good selection of fresh fruit and veg and the store is open until 11pm on weekdays.

I like this Waitrose store, it deserves an upgrade to four-stars for sure, it is just under 10…read moreminutes on the bus away from the town centre, it is a fairly modern supermarket too. I like how their handheld scanners are easy to use, to scan as you shop around the store, they seem to be much newer than other Waitrose stores, making them easier to use - It would be a great idea if they fixed their app in order to support scanning on mobile phones, similar to what is on offer at ASDA and Sainsbury's. The staff in-store seemed friendly and happy to help, the product range is good, they had a wide selection of products in most areas, including a great saving on certain items including Pizza Express' gluten-free pizzas which were on offer at £2.50, considering the price is normally £4.50 at Sainsbury's and £5 on Ocado, this is a great saving. 4* - Good, modern supermarket with a decent selection of products, one of the better supermarkets in Altrincham, it is a shame it isn't closer to the town centre and the bus network isn't too reliable, I do also think the checkout areas could have been better laid out, but all in all a good store.

This ASDA store is improving, which is good, and with that should come an updated rating especially…read morewith public transport access to the store improving now, with the Barton Dock Road Metrolink stop on the Trafford Park - Cornbrook line being a couple of minutes away, I would note access to the store can be quite difficult if on foot due to it being located in a zone where there are many cars, crossing and multiple of stores and it does involve multiple crossings and walking on the road - I don't see how they could improve it though due to the construction of the Trafford Park area which includes a Starbucks and a Costco. One of the largest Asda stores in the area, inside it is pretty modern, featuring the Asda Scan and Go Scanners/app, and a small McDonald's, the checkout experience seemed to be much smoother and quicker here compared to other stores. The staff seemed friendly enough and didn't mind showing me where something was and offering recommendations on which flavour of Pepperami Chicken Bites to try. While I wasn't able to get everything I was shopping for, the selection remains good including the fresh/deli counters and this is one of my favourite ASDA supermarket locations. 4*

This place plays a vital role in supplying my late night cravings for chocolate and snacks. Late…read morenight shopping is the best at this place, especially if you can't be bothered to face the public! The place is huge and if you wanted to engross yourself, it could easily take up a couple of hours of your time; food, clothing, games, dvds, books, household items and electronics! However if you're going to go late at night, get used to the annoying self-service checkout voice and her commands!

This Lidl store is okay, it is located in Leigh town centre, it is close to The Loom, where there…read moreis also a Tesco Superstore. This isn't a large store, but they do have a satisfactory range of most items you'd expect to find in a Lidl, including a small bakery, although unlike the store at Baguley in Wythenshawe, they did seem to have fewer brands and they didn't seem to have in-store toilets. The staff member working seemed happy, I only noticed one staff member on the floor, who quickly moved from the checkout to the shop floor, she did seem helpful but the store was certainly understaffed, again like all Lidl stores I've noticed, they don't seem to have self-service tills which I strongly dislike. They had a decent selection of fruit and vegetables, the store also has easy access as a pedestrian or via a car. Leigh has a lot of really good, large supermarkets nearby, this fails to compare to them, it's good for fruit and vegetable items and maybe a few others but it wouldn't be somewhere you'd want to do a full, large shop. 3*

The Food Warehouse is a low-cost supermarket style store from Iceland, while I've been to dozens of…read moreIceland Stores, this was my first time visiting their The Food Warehouse brand, it is similar to most Iceland stores, especially the newly refurbished ones, a decent product range but nowhere near enough to be able to do a full shop, an emphasis on frozen foods but with more solid and distinguishable cupboard/fridge ranges and aisles too. This location is in-between two much larger supermarkets (Sainsbury's and Asda) and is next to B and M in Leigh, on Parsonage Way. Despite being described as as a place at offering "the brands at prices the major supermarkets wouldn't", I actually found many items here to be more expensive compared to one of the other supermarkets nearby or even B and M next store in some cases, they did have some good deals but that seemed harder to find than a bad one. I hated how many of the freezers were the deep chest/box freezer type, which not only meant there'd be more touching points to get an item, it'd be more difficult reaching into a freezer and even seeing what you wanted, and find the frozen range much better presented again at nearby rivals. The Free From section was especially poor, it was mainly vegetarian/vegan items, with little regards for people with allergies such as myself, who actually don't have a choice. They did have some good items and the store did look good and unique, so it isn't bad at all, there's just so many flaws and better places nearby, perhaps it's useful to pop in if you're in a bit of a rush as this is obviously smaller than the nearby rivals and never seems as busy, but it wouldn't be my first choice. 3*
