Morrisons

This branch of Morrisons is located in Leeds, in the Merrion Centre shopping centre.
It is a nice branch, and does stock a great gluten free frozen range compared to some of my local stores to the Manchester area. They stock the Toad in the hole for £1.99 which I have found hard to source down.
It follows the traditional Morrisons layout
As far as I am aware it does not have a café.
Although, my review can not be very detailed as I have not had a proper look round and done my weekly shop round the store, obviously with frozen goods being defrosted by Manchester and who would want to carry goods, around Leeds, then to the train station, then to Manchester and then to get home?
This branch seemed to me smaller than some of my local branches but still it is funny as i had a better range.
From what I seen, this is quite a nice Morrisons store however it does have quite a few disadvantages
— Located inside a shopping centre, so you can’t just park and run in for a weekly shop, it is more of a store for a top up shop while in the city centre.
— It did not have a café, please correct me if I’m wrong but it just didn’t have a café. To be fair, Morrisons cafes are extremely poor and do not cater for gluten free but still I like them being their to collect a drink, however to be fair, with it being located in a city centre it isn’t really needed but still it could be a good idea to have a drinks machine at least.
I would of gave 3 stars if it had easy parking and wasn’t in a shopping centre, however when you consider this, I feel 2 is alot more fairer.

Wow recently here customer service and experience has gone down. The checkout operators seem constantly miserable and somewhat rude, you really don’t get a good customer service here. I’ve seen staff refuse to get a manager when a customer has asked to speak to one. My last visit here whilst being served the checkout lady turned her back on me and started talking to the lady working on the checkout behind her. Not only that but after scanning my shopping she decided she would throw it to the other side of the till rather than place it. I was very tempted to put in a complaint but the staff here just give the impression they wouldn’t care and don’t care about giving good customer service.

As far as Morrisons go, this one is one of the better stores in my humble opinion. There’s a logical route through all the different food sections and they tend to stock a decent range of specialty foods.
If I’m honest, the sheer convenience of this Morrisons being very close to my workplace probably makes me a little biased, but I’m yet to really fault the place.
My one disclaimer is that you be prepared for a bit of chaos leading up to and during Freshers week. From mid-​August until late September, expect to jostle through swarms of dozey eyed students and their doting parents as they load them up with everything they need to survive (because left to her own devices, darling Portia will surely spend all her money on a 2 month supply of canned pancakes and a jar of lemon curd)
All in all, a great place to pick up all your essentials :)

I don’t like this Morrisons. The one in Guiseley is better. It’s always very stressful shopping here as every time I’ve been in the place is always rammed and busy as hell. The dairy and fridge aisles are always a battle to get around too. You do not wanna know what Freshers Week looks like in here!!!
I honestly think this place needs a refurb. Make some more space and get a better entrance in and make the place look more attractive (big ugly car park view on Woodhouse Lane). They can afford to make the others look nice (Guiseley, Yeadon, Kirkstall, etc) so why not this one? Shouldn’t this be their flagship Leeds store seeing as it’s central?
I do appreciate the existence of one supermarket though as all the express stores are expensive and suck (even the big Sainsburys and Tesco Metro). Morrisons is better than Tesco too.

This Morrisons has a lot of good points. It stocks a decent range of products, including ‘Free From’ stuff, and it’s got a good homewares section.
The main downside is that it’s incredibly busy at peak times, which unfortunately, is when I want to go — at lunchtimes or just after work. It’s also quite tired and lacks a customer toilet.
The booze section is kept seperate from the main part of the supermarket, which is convenient if you just want to nip in and grab a bottle of something for a tipple after work, but on the flipside it’s quite annoying when they have offers on that require you to spend £x in one transaction and they won’t honour the two purchases across two tills, even though if you had exactly the same trolley of shopping at a supermarket with a booze aisle instead you’d have qualified.
Anyway, needs must, so I’ll continue as a regular customer, it’s really handy for work, and stocks a great range which puts it ahead of your ‘Express’ and ‘Metro’ type stores in the city centre.

Wonderfully cheap supermarket. Gets annoyingly busy at peak, but apart from then, it makes an easy shop. Ideal for student shoppers and also people just generally on a budget.

Oh my lord. I only ever come here if I can’t make it to another supermarket and am feeling brave enough to cope with the shoving and pushing and queuing and also the smelliness. It’s pretty hardcore. The aisles are very narrow, and people will insist on ramming you with their trolleys and/​or baskets and/​or pushchairs.
Having said all that, it’s handy for bus stops and there’s a car park (which you have to get your tickets stamped for at the till). But it’s so tricky to shop here I don’t come often. The thought of it is making my palms sweat right now. No no no.

Despite the great value, the long queues can put someone off coming here because if you’re on a tight schedule you can spend a good 5 – 10 minutes standing and waiting, despite around 20 tills open, plus self service. Obviously just a popular place, and for good reason! Great value, great reductions at the end of a day. Though the layout is a bit weird, and some of the staff can be a bit rude, it’s a good place to shop — though I would instead recommend the Morrisons on Kirkstall Road for a much nicer experience.
