This is a local Sainsburys, offering drinks, lunchtime snacks such as sandwiches, pasta pots, smoothies, fruit bowls, salad bowls and packets of salads. There are a few aisles of bathroom and household goods such as deodorants, polishes, sanitary towels, and everyday items such as soap, toothpaste, shower gels and shampoos. They do not stock frozen produce, but they do have a few fridges stocked with ice creams and cold alcoholic beverages. They have a lot of accessories and jewellery instore, as well as a large magazine selection. It is always busy at lunchtime because of many business people queuing up for their lunch but the staff are very good even though there are only three tills.

A handy lil version of sainsbury’s, located smack bang in the centre of the city. It’s often really difficult to find something quick to grab at lunch time in Brum but this place does loads of sarnies, cakes and pots of fruit which you can easily take back to the office. It’s deceptively large with a good selection of food to combine lunch with shopping for dinner. It also sells ciggarettes and magazines near to the front entrance so you can ‘in theory’ nip in and out. The location means that it is often quite busy though.
