Pollards Family Newsagents

Pollards is by far the biggest newsagent I’ve ever been in! It just seems to go on and on with more and more products you wouldn’t expect in your average newsie. After a vast magazine section and fridges of drinks and sandwiches there is a huge range of cards including some very cute easter ones, many a large box of chocolate son the shelves behind the counter and a long row of shelved near the back displaying everything from a wide range of tinned, jarred and packeted food to children’s toys, home ware and stationery.
If this was your local newsagent you may find yourself tempted to not leave your immediate locality… what with Wright’s of Moortown down nearby meeting all your fruits and veg needs and two charity shops you could probably fill your fridge, kitchen cupboards, kid’s toy box, desk drawer, magazine rack and meet most of your everyday purchasing needs in your slippers (if you felt like it)!

Every little spate of shops in Leeds has room for a newsy, it almost comes as standards, and so for Moortown Corner Pollards is said newsy. As with most modern styled newsagents, Pollards sells more than just the local paper and rolling tobacco, it has almost become a cross breed between a small supermarket and local shop! This is good news, however, for those local to the area. It saves a huge journey if you want to cook something reasonably decent but don’t wish to travail further afield and do a huge shop.
You have all the usual suspects within, so I can’t imagine them serving much disappointment, such as papers, magazines, snacks, sweets, cigarettes and more. Not much in the way of personality, and prices are mid-​way, but perfunct in it’s purpose to serve you with standard stuff.

Pollards on Moortown corner is a sort of cross between a corner shop and a big chain convenience store and it’s pretty good for most of the things you need in life.
As a newsagents, it stocks a big selection of papers and mags, and does the standard fare in food and drink.
But with a M & S literally round the corner, it’s often a lot more tempting to go there for some proper food. Pollards does do a massive array of gorgeous sweets though, which I love.
