There's a good choice of fresh fruit and vegetables although the aisles are very narrow it's very difficult to look at things when people are trying to walk past.

This isn't a shop that l often go to as l have to pass another Co-op if l was to go to this one l feel the co-op is quite an over priced shop and they don't seem to stock as much selection as they used to. Good points here are Good selection of flowers on sale Free cash cash machine outside (ATM)

I've not reviewed this place? Shocked, appalled and quite possibly shocked again... no, thats not…read moremy reaction to not having reviewed a place where I've done a good bit of regular shopping for the best part of 6 months now. No thats the feeling you get from some members of staff if you ask them a question, insist on them going just a tiny bit out of their way or maybe just breathe a wee bit too loudly. All this said though, this is a fairly big store with half decent stock, reasonable prices and, here is the 4th star kicker, it's very convenient for anyone who jumps off at Kelvinbridge tube station. Add this to the 'I shop at my local co-op whilst you throw your money into the fat cats big trough and watch while they gorge themselves stupid' feeling of superiority you get when walking out, and you have yourself a fine wee shop. Ooh, the 'wee' shop I mention above.... exactly that. Don't expect to be able to stretch out between aisles or maneuver a buggy around here without attracting a heavy mist of disgruntled exhalation from the staff. All in the fun though.

This 24 hour Spar is a very valuable asset to this end of Great Western Road. The staff are lovely,…read morevery friendly and always pleasant no matter how drunk some of the customers can be when they stumble in here. As for the stock, they have loads and loads of stuff. By this I do not mean, the world's biggest range of crisps. I mean they have all the usual chocolate, crisps and fizzy juice as well as ciggies, rolling papers and tobacco. However, you'll also find good two for £2 deals on litres of fruit juice (perfect for picking up on the way home for a Sunday morning breakfast). You'll also find a good range of - slightly overpriced - cheeses, meats and homemade samosas. Meanwhile, for the fast food folks among you there is a pretty good selection of frozen pizzas, chips, burgers and, of course, ice creams near the back of the shop. They even have an impressive range of Scot Pac stuff including scissors, super glue, thread and all that kind of stuff that you never think about until you need. Absolutely excellent.

Does that really warrant five stars? No. This gets five stars because of the staff, who are some of the warmest, friendliest, most patient convenience store staff I've ever encountered. I just popped in to get a pint of milk. I wasn't feeling great, I have a bit of a cold. The guy behind the counter assured me that all I needed was a sunny weekend and I'd be right as rain. I nodded politely. He then gave me double finger guns THEN a double thumbs up. I left feeling much better.

It's cramped inside and it's not always well stocked so it can be a bit hit and miss. They have a modest range of beers wines and spirits, with regular promotions on different drinks. I quite like Co-op's own brand of most things, including their cold meat and bakery products. It's a bit dearer than Asda or Tesco and the other big boys, but I still find myself going back. A busy enough wee place.

They have a really good selection of sweets if that's what you're in the mood for! Word of advice: they are very strict on age laws for tobacco products and alchohol. If you look under 25 bring ID!

There's a post office at the back which is staffed by a couple of really unpleasant ladies - I'd you're sending a package take the highest insurance option as they have a tendency to lose or incorrectly label things here. Back to the Spar, the staff there are great. They also have a paypoint machine for bills etc. The only bad thing is that they tend to restock during the day - and this is an extremely busy shop!

As a bank, I quite like the Co-Op but I don't think they do any justice to supermarkets…read more This one seems to be pretty typical of the Co-Operative Food stores - messy, crowded and a pretty dull selection of items, while being overpriced. Even if I was at these small shops at the Broom, I would probably still go out of my way to go to a supermarket elsewhere (e.g. Asda or M&S at the Avenue, Waitrose by the M77) because this one is just a bit rubbish.

Great staff , very helpful especially the wee guy with the beard; Steven i think is his name always a smile and a happy chat to customers which doesn't seem to figure much these days to people especially in areas like Newton Mearns which is a shame! Yes prices are not the cheapest but there is more to life than price which everyone seems obsessed with and the Co-Op has always been there to help ordinary folks and still does so I feel good supporting them whether in Brodick in Arran when I am on holiday over there or here in Newton Mearns. Don't forget your co-op card when you go with 5% cashback and 1% to charity! Clean and organised layout with most of what you need for emergency supplies and top up food. The store is a top up shop and is really used by the surrounding locals in the Broom area who dont have cars or from the many retirement homes dotted all around it. Very convenient and opens till 10pm which is great 7 days a week! Always a cheery sight when you get off the bus late at night just outside and need some milk or bread and long may the store continue.

I've even began to deliberately go out of my way - a little bit anyway - sometimes in order to pop in here. Why, you ask. Well, anytime I've been in the staff have been friendly, chatty and very nice. Which makes you feel a bit better about parting with your pennies. The pennies have got to be the big number two of list of good points about S & A Food Stores. Despite, being in a prime location for desperate people stopping in to buy booze, ciggies and munchies; they do not overprice their stock. In fact, I've actually got some of the best booze deals ever in this shop - two one-litre bottles of Merry Dowe quality cider for a mere £4.50. That's them just screaming out to be bought! Plus, if you're coming from getting a tasty pepperoni pizza from Da Vinci's you'll need something to wash it down with. Mmmmm. Their nonalcoholic stock is also decently priced and of good quality. You'll get loads of crisps, the latest chocolate releases (Malteaser bunny anyone?) and all the popular magazines and newspapers. Good little shop with nice staff, good stock and an excellent location.

This is certainly convenient and it does the job. However, I would rather walk a few minutes up to S & A Food Stores. Mainly due to the claustrophobic feeling that can easily be felt upon stepping into Ashy's. It's also a result of other customer's in Ashy's who seem indifferent to you at best, and down right rude at worst. Something which is a big pet hate of mine. I suppose, this comes with the territory of having people double park and jump into your shop for ciggies and the like.

It's a rather small shop, but they manage to cram an awful lot of good in. They have special offers each week and they'll often have buy one get one free on cans of juice or bottled water. A few times I've failed to spot these offers but the staff will always point out if I'm missing out on a bargain! The staff are also really friendly and you always get served with a smile.
