The store had a good selection overall and was well stocked, especially for fresh fruit and vegetables, which was notably impressive given the size of the store, other than that it was a typical Co-Op Food in terms of stock, layout (exemptions apply). I was surprised this store did not sell the Lipton brand of iced teas (they did not even have space on the shelf), nor did they have a coffee machine, it is very rare that a Co-Op store does not have these. There is a large checkout area, consisting of self-scan and manned tills, it has a lot of space and isn't messy which you can get in some stores, in terms of added facilities, they are also an Amazon Hub to collect orders and they also work with DPD deliveries. 4* - A nice and obviously new Co-Op Food location and one of my favourite local convenience stores.

Owned by one of the nicest men ever, who will order stuff in specially for you and only buys wine at discount from the wholesalers so he can transfer the savings to the customers, they have all the essentials here as well as some more unusual gourmet items - cheese with pickled onions and Bundaberg ginger beer, anyone? There's a good frozen food section that manages to stock something other than pizzas and garlic bread, and the alcohol aisle has some great bargains on wine - the £4.49 Shiraz I picked up there recently was unbelievable good value - and proper scrumpy cider.

Co-Op Food on Merrion Way is a pretty new store, it is in the Leeds Arena' Quarter, and also to the…read moreMerrion Quarter shopping centre, the store still looks and feels new and modern, despite opening around a year ago. It follows the new Co-Op look and layout, which I feel looks much fresher and cleaner. The location is good for the city centre, I'm not sure about the policy at the Arena, but this could be a great place to grab some drinks and snacks nearby, without paying hefty prices once you get inside ready for your event. The store is pretty small, I wasn't able to find all of the items I was looking for, which I can find at my usual stores in Manchester, there was also a lack of staff around the store with many of them loitering around the checkout area, appearing to be disinterested, the store wasn't too busy at the time so I can understand that but staff members should always be on hand and not appear unapproachable to the customer. 3*

Betty's is an institution whose origins couldn't have been made up as it began owned by a Swiss baker Fritz Bützer. His life was quite tragic early on with his mother dying when he was young and his father died in a fire at the family owned mill. As soon as he was old enough, Fritz trained as an assistant baker and later travelled around Switzerland and France training as a confectioner and chocolatier. In 1907 he decided to seek his fortune in England. On his arrival in London he realised he'd lost the address of his destination and ended up in Bradford quite by accident. He stayed in the Yorkshire town finding work at a Swiss-owned confectioners, Bonnet & Sons. Not long after arriving he wrote to his sister Ida back in Switzerland saying, "Maybe I will stay a while...." Stay he did, soon settling in the spa town of Harrogate by which time he'd changed his name to Frederick Belmont and styled himself as a 'Chocolate Specialist'. In those days a box of chocolates was for the rich at the equivalent today of £300 a box. It was Harold Mackintosh that brought chocolate to the masses with the green triangle sweet likely the first chocolate, hazelnut noisette they ever tasted. Meanwhile it was in Harrogate that Frederick's luck started to change. Looking for lodgings, he fell in love and later married his landlady's daughter, Claire Appleton. A few years later, in July 1919, with the financial support of Claire's family the first Bettys opened for business. Long may Betty rein.

We were walking around the area and saw this cafe twice so we walked into one of them and I just decided to purchase a few boxes of chocolates and gifts for a few girlfriends. Overall I thought the stores are really cute on the I inside and outside. There are two stores that are very close to each other. No longer than a 10 minute walk. If your not sure what to buy I would just ask the lady, she was really nice and helpful. Next time if I do have time I would want to stop in here and dine with them as well. Tip- If you want a little snack to munch on grab a cookie while your walking around the area! They have different designs for different times of the year.
