+ | ===== Supermarkets in West Bridgford ===== | ||
+ | Once upon a time ASDA (Associated Dairies) was the GEM and touted as the biggest supermarket in Europe. Then it | ||
+ | had a smaller floor area everything was stacked high in cardboard boxes. Now owned by the American company | ||
+ | Walmart the floor area is expanded and there is a second floor, but I suspect it is now only the largest | ||
+ | supermarket in West Bridgford, and sadly it no longer sells American DC and Marvel comics which were my chief | ||
+ | reason for going there as an adolescent. ASDA has the longest opening hours often claiming 24 hour opening but | ||
+ | this does vary with public holidays and Sunday trading laws. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Co-op used to be a horrible place with a blank wall fronting the street | ||
+ | and a side entrance aimed primarily at the car park and the motorist. | ||
+ | Co-op is now much improved with a store front to Bridgford Road. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Co-op stocks a surprisingly large range of food stuffs for a small store, | ||
+ | has terrific opening hours, is home to the main post office and has the Welsh | ||
+ | clothing retailer " | ||
+ | in Cardiff but I believe Frank Peacock started the enterprise in Warrington). | ||
+ | It is reassuring | ||
+ | to know that " | ||
+ | a style of dressing. Bring back the divi number I say. At least now you do | ||
+ | need to be a member to enjoy a share of the profits. There is a second, | ||
+ | smaller Coop supermarket in Edwalton and a 7/11 convenience shop further up | ||
+ | Bridgford Rd. near the cricket ground which oddly opens no later than the | ||
+ | main shop. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Morrisons' | ||
+ | nothing to write home about I enjoy a visit to Morrisons more than any other | ||
+ | food shopping trip because I can walk there (or cycle) [[http:// | ||
+ | Canal and see the Swans, Coots, Moorhens and Mallards|]] on route along with the | ||
+ | beautiful gardens and splendid innovations for recreational access to the canal | ||
+ | by those residents who have properties backing onto the water side. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Why Iceland' | ||
+ | Majoring on GM free products Iceland sells high quality frozen products | ||
+ | including a range of exotic meats and fish at excellent prices. Iceland are | ||
+ | one of the first retailers to get rid of the horrible BOGOF marketing trend. | ||
+ | Iceland' | ||
+ | were excellent and I would make a special journey to get them. Sadly this | ||
+ | range is no longer stocked in the Bridgford shop. | ||

+ | Both Morrisons and ASDA have petrol stations. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It should perhaps be mentioned that the remarkable B&M is just across the river in Ladybay trading park and | ||
+ | a little further down the road is Lidl. For the big, largely canned food | ||
+ | shop and for dog food I confess Lidl is my man. | ||
