Countdown Lincoln Road

Countdown Lincoln Road had alot of hype behind it when it first opened — right across the road from the ever popular Pak N Save Lincoln Road which until then had an unspoken monopoly over the local area.
Whilst its not my favourite branch — it is pratical, small and quick to get in and out of. With multiple self service counters, including 2 with conveyor belts rather than just the single counter weight sensitive ones– they are fantastic for when you want to pick up a few things and get out quickly (something their yellow counterparts fail on regularly).
I was a little dissapointed with the fish section — it never looks very fresh and the counter closes quite early making it hard for people like me trying to do late night shops after work or the gym.
The meat is very exciting and I feel like they dont have as many specials as other Countdown stores. Their vegetables are sporadic — they were out of limes for a good 2 months during the winter, and seemed to have forgotten ginger and garlic do exist outside of the processed tube form.
They do however have an instore pharmacy which has a chemist on hand to fill prescriptions and advice to shoppers which some people may appreciate. They also have an internal shop where they sell clothing and other amenities. The cookware section is also impressive — i have bought many plates and utensils here as they are often on Onecard special. This store also has disability friendly counters which are slightly wider than the normal checkout aisles — which they can be credited for.
Overall, it has a limited range of products compared to other larger Countdowns, I visit them to buy my Lewis Road products — but generally still shop across the road at Pak N Save as its cheaper and has a more extensive range of products.
