The Food Warehouse is a low-cost supermarket style store from Iceland, while I've been to dozens of Iceland 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* read more
