A pretty large Tesco store in Chester town centre, at Frodsham Square.
Due to COVID-19 and managing the number of people in the store, the entrance is a mess right now, one of the back entrances, just off the high street and next to Boots is currently not open, there is no signage to find the main store entrance from there, it only states to walk through a car-park which I also couldn't find, I ended up going away only to find this store by chance on my way home to the train station. They really should offer a street map if they are going to close a main entrance to the public.
The selection in most areas was okay, especially the fish and meat counters where the selection was extensive.
I did find the toiletries selection to be rather poor, they seemed to have replaced a whole section with overpriced giftsets, meaning toiletries and skincare items you'd find in pretty much any other supermarket weren't stocked here, which was a real shame. I get gift-sets are good Christmas ideas, but why should that mean the items which would usually be sold outside of these overpriced gift-sets not be sold at all?
I did find the staff member a little unhelpful, he was standing right next to me (and seemed to be avoiding me) as I struggled to type my Clubcard number into the scan and go machine as it kept freezing.
3* - Large supermarket in the town centre of Chester, although it can be a nightmare to get in and there are multiple other flaws with the store which means it wouldn't be my first choice supermarket to visit if I return to Chester. read more
