This is a small Sainsbury’s shop, roughly opposite the Hippodrome. It is little more than a sandwich shop, becoming very busy weekday lunchtimes. It’s mostly self service checkouts, which I know many people dislike. Outside there’s a cash machine which is convenient.

Good selection of ready-to-eat sandwiches and meals, even late at night. Besides that, it’s not much different from any other Sainsbury’s. Oh, unless you love Reese’s. They also happen to have an epic selection of Reese’s peanut butter cups, pieces and even the oft-unseen crunchy candy bar. Heady stuff.

I’ve found myself in here a couple of times recently, it’s really well situated in the centre of town. It still seems quite new and the staff in this little store seem to be generally much happier and helpful than those in the bigger stores — probably a lot less stress. My only problem is that is, selfishly, my favourite chocolates, that you can only buy in Sainsburys are not stocked here. I know that’s pretty trivial but my point is that it’s great for the odd bit and piece and last minute bottle of wine but if you want something specifically then there’s a good chance they won’t have it. At least this branch has seemed to have been well stocked on the occasions I have visited because that can often be a problem with locals/expresses.

Until very recently the centre(being the open plan water fountain area by the Hippodrome) only had a couple of independent newsagents, which was fine. Then in the space of a few months two of the big players popped up — Tesco Metro at College Green and Sainsburys Local in Broad Quay. Each can complete with a much-needed cash point in the area. Previously, people had to either walk halfway up Park Street to the HSBC or halfway down Baldwin Street to the Alliance and Leicester. Sainsburys Local is your bog standard Sainsburys Local but it looks much nicer and newer. It sells the usual from sandwiches to chocolate and soup to milk and eggs. It’s also handy for the smokers in the nearby office blocks. I don’t know about you but I’d much rather shop at Sainsburys than Tescos and now you can if you live or work around the city centre in Bristol.
