The prices are not cheap but if you are just looking for the odd bits and need them in a hurry it is ideal. It's only a small shop but does sell all sorts and they are usually quite helpful and friendly. They are usually open quite late too. It's a very handy shop for locals and it is on a street with a few other things close by like a chippy and butchers so you can go and get a loaf of bread for your chip butty.

Convenience store for commuters travelling on train to and from solihull station. It is also very convenient to get to any destination as the main bus stand is right outside.

Located one of the two main entrances to Solihull train station, Newsbreak is a small newsagents…read moreserving busy commuters. Small is the perfect word, as there's not a lot of room for manoeuvre inside the tiny premises, with almost all available space taken up by the packed shelves. The prices are fairly standard for a train station, slightly higher than you'd expect to pay elsewhere, but there's no other shops within a ten minute walk, so for many people, it'll be a choice of like it or lump it. The best thing I've found when using Newsbreak is that it has a great selection of magazines, particularly considering the size of the shop, and stocks many travel sized versions of popular magazines, which a lot of equivalent stores at other situations don't seem to, which I always find strange.

I've been using this branch of Stars News for years and was pleasantly surprised to see it was…read morestill open (seemingly unchanged!) when I moved back to the area last year. Stars is great, it's like a step back in time for me as the general shop is still the same as it was when I was a little kid in the 80's. You can buy magazines and newspapers from here, as well as a small selection of groceries such as tea bags, sugar, Oxo cubes, Pot Noodle and things like that. Prices on the groceries are a little higher than other local shops, but I love the fact that I can be in Stars buying my mags and also get a few essentials without having to brave the queues in the Co-Op next door. They also sell stationery, a selection of cheapo pocket money toys (and don't knock them, they're a lifesaver when it comes to distracting the kids), greetings cards and lots of other bits and pieces that I couldn't possibly remember or list at the moment. This branch sells a bit of everything, in a good way it reminds me of a bric-a-brac shop because looking around the shop you'll see little unusual things that you want to buy for absolutely no reason at all. Another excellent thing about Stars is their Christmas club. Around May they'll start putting the Christmas catalogues out which you can take home to look at. When you've decided what you want to buy you order it at the till and you'll be able to pay however much you want each week, providing the balance is paid by the beginning of December. Then a week before Christmas simply pop into the shop and pick up your goods. The shop is laid out well and also houses a Post Office which is convenient for me, it's completely wheelchair friendly although turns can be a little tight towards the back of the shop so beware of this.

this is a small newsagents part of west heath shops. the size of the shop is small which limits the…read moreamount of items they can sell. they have a good magazine section and will reserve weekly/monthly editions for you. they also offer a newspaper delivery service. they sell cards, gift wrap and stationery and the usual confectionery and a small range of toys. they have recently added a small range of alcohol but personally i think that this eats up valuable space and is unnecessary as they is an off license a few doors up. they prices are more expesive than a supermarket but no higher than you would expect from a small shop. they do the lottery. major problem is the amount of space. it is difficult to get into the shop with a pushchair because of a heacy door and step. Once you are in it is hard to get round the shop as the aisles are very narrow. The staff are pleasant but you can queue for quite a while during busy times due to only 2 staff being on.

Kwik Stop don't sell alcohol and they close around 5pm most days so if you need a similar store that is an offy too then head to City News on Constitution Hill (they don't do fresh food though).

It is clean, neatly stocked and has a good choice of newspapers - from the Express and Star to the Independent. The sweet counter is also pretty decent, with all of the e-number laden and neon coloured confectionery you could wish for. Towards the back of the shop, they sell all of the basic foodstuffs and household products you'd expect, including bread, canned foods and washing up liquid. I was quite impressed with this shop, mainly because the lady who served me was really friendly and jolly. That said, they didn't stock my favourite chewing gum (Wrigley's Extra Ice White, for what it is worth). They did sell chilled Diet Coke in a can, which is the best drink in the whole wide world. Life truly is swings and roundabouts.

Despite the name there is more here than a news agents, it has household and convince items littered throughout so its nice not to have to pop into cradley super Tesco and loose even more of your soul.

If I'm every after a drink, snack, or something to read on the train, I always head here instead of the much larger Smiths down on the station concourse. Newsflow's main selling point is the surprisingly expansive selection of magazines that they have on offer, with more than their wall space seems capable of holding. The prices haven't been ramped up with the proximity to the station in mind, either (a sharing bag of sweets retails for less than £2, which is competitive for anywhere, even large supermarkets), and the staff are always friendly. Even better, there's rarely a queue, meaning it can often prove to faster to go upstairs to Newsflow and then come back down to catch your train than it is to go to the nearby Smiths and queue for five minutes.

You can buy newspapers and magazines as well as sweets and chocolate. It is basically the same as all the other newsagents just in a different location. It is very near to a housing estate so makes sense really. Its owner is very nice, they will chat to you, and i assume locals must get on well with them as it always has people in there chatting away. Good sized for the area and must do a roaring trade!!

It's a great little newsagents which I believe is part of a chain, but this branch is absolutely brilliant. They have a large selection of magazines and newspapers which is great for me as I love my trashy celeb mags, the magazines are laid out logically which is great compared to the newsagents nearby who seems to think it's a good idea to place Heat magazine next to Coarse Fishing books! They have a couple of fridges stocked with a nice selection of soft drinks which are reasonably priced and always well stocked. The 'munchies' section is the best part of Supercigs; they sell a brilliant range of crisps, boxed cakes, chocolate bars, sweets, chewing gum and bagged sweets. My daughters' love the bagged sweets because as well as the usual pineapple chunks and jelly beans they can also choose more exciting sweets such as chocolate Brazil nuts or dried banana chips. The sweets are all very reasonably priced, not just the bagged ones but across the board in this branch. The use-by dates are aways a way off in the future so I'm not such how they can offer such large discounts, but on my last visit I bought multi-packs of Monster Munch for £1 and a bag containing six Cadbury's chocolate bars for just 99p! My kids love it in here because the couple of quid I give them for sweets lasts so much further than if they spent it in the Co-Op. You can also buy greetings cards in here and in the centre of the shop are usually some discount baskets which can hold anything from kids' gardening sets (£1.99, although this was a couple of Summers ago) to huge boxes of marshmallows. Another thing I love about this branch of Supercigs is the fact that I can pay all my bills in there, it's a Paypoint outlet so any bill I have which requires a card or statement for payment I would simply hand over for them to scan and pay the money owed with no charges for this service. Saves a trip to the bank, and believe me I'd much rather be in a shop than a bank!
