Co Op

This is a great local convenience stores that stocks the majority of your everyday essentials. The staff vary but on the whole are pleasant and happy to help if needed. They always seem to be sweeping or cleaning the floors and rubbish is not left unnoticed for long. It will be a challenge for people with pushchairs or in wheelchairs though as the aisles are extremely narrow, if two people are going in opposite directions it is a case of turn to the side and breathe in! It has some offside parking outside which normally has some spaces and a bus stop opposite to get you into Bitterne or Southampton central. As with many Co-op’s it has regular offers — there are always offers on alcohol and often cereals, biscuits, sweets and sauces are half price or buy one get one free. This makes some products cheaper than large supermarkets
