Yes, BUT they introduced some crazy screens in the cafe like a giant app to order.

So bloody complicated; feel like I'm working for Tesco myself. Thought hospitality industry had got over this kind of nonsense 30years ago. Meanwhile, you could also get rid of half those self service stands and put your staff back on the till where we can talk to them.

Also plenty of car parking facilities. This is the store that i would love to have close by , it has uverything under one roof, which is great when you have small kids and dont want to go traipsng round different stores. Would definately recommend this store, also has a new fresh feel to it.
A pretty average supermarket located in Southport town centre, the selection is OK, and while it…read moreisn't a huge Sainsbury's I was able to get most of the few items which I needed. The staff seemed friendly enough and they do support the Sainsburys Smartshop feature of being able to scan items on your phone, which I like. I do prefer the nearby ASDA store, elsewhere in Southport town centre as it is slightly larger and has easier car-parking, but this isn't a bad alternative. The walk from the town centre might be short, but it is poorly lit and with bollards on the pavement, it feels like an accident waiting to happen, but admittedly it isn't the store's fault and that is up to the local council. 3* - The modal rating on Yelp pretty much sums it up.
A lot of my Southport reviews stem from nostalgia, and this is one that completely relies upon it…read more Okay, so a Sainsbury's is a Sainsbury's is a Sainsbury's. But this one is located so oddly, I've never quite understood how the car park for it seems to be located in an entirely different section of Southport. Anyway, confusing geographics aside, Southport is spoiled for supermarkets. It genuinely is. Manchester is not. This irritates me. Back when I used to work my summer jobs in this fair town during my university days, playing house when the parentals were on holiday, I'd be spoiled for choice with Safeway, Morrisons, Waitrose, Asda, Tesco and this. I know, who do Southportians think they are? This is a decently large Sainsbury's, and for some strange reason the street on which it's located is full of accountants and solicitors' offices. It's easily accessible from whatever part of Southport you're in (that confusing car park again), and it stocks a wide range of stuff, harbouring a great bakery section as well as a good range of beer and wine and some great cooking ingredients. Aces!

Southport was really buzzing we hadn't seen so many people like that for a long time, so, unbelievably, the market is closed. After the time we have been through, I would have thought that every opportunity to get things moving would be jumped at, why is it closed? many people where turning up to discover the same thing, no money will be made with the doors locked. K.D.

This branch of Morrisons is a fairly old store in terms of decor which is pretty typical of…read moreMorrisons stores who tend not to be competing with the likes of ASDA, Tesco and Sainsbury's in this fashion and goes for a more old over modern approach but this store is in a good location, right in Blackburn city center, just opposite The Mall. This store is a decent store but isn't a great place to do a weekly shop mainly due to the stock there, but on the other hand i does have some cool things about it, including being the home to Blackburn's Amazon Lockers which are quite a cool way to receive and return parcels when sold directly from Amazon. This supermarket also has a cafe. In some ways, it just feels like it has been left behind, walking up to the supermarket in a way feels like walking into an abandoned building, there is so much empty space and sadly it just doesn't feel nice. Overall, the selection in stores is quite poor for most items, even the gluten free selection was poor as well as the selection for other items as well. The staff didn't seem too helpful either, and that's if I could even find them! The game selection was so poor, there was probably about 4 or 5 games with some prices of good value and some prices highly overpriced, but it was so few in number they might as well not have it, and it was just a fraction to what I would normally see in a supermarket elsewhere, for example this game selection was smaller than what you would see for just one console in another supermarket. Frustrating. Overall, the store not only lacks the feel of a good supermarket, it has a poor selection too with some items which were highly overpriced, while also taking poor service into account I sadly feel the only two strong points for this branch of Morrisons is the location and having Amazon Lockers, which in its' own isn't enough to warrant anything over a single one star, in all honesty the Amazon Lockers would even be better to be located across the way in The Mall.

Ok 4 stars, yes a big name store, but to be honest I don't find it any better than others…read more There is a very large area for electrical and household goods, which I find is quite expensive. Food area . I often go there to shop for food, walk around and come out with very little. I just don't find it as good as the hype that surrounds it. To be fair my advice on shopping is know where you want to shop for certain items and shop around. The labels on food is very confusing, I spend ages working it out. Very often the big font price is the per Kilo and the price of the item is alot smaller. and higher in price. Be careful that joint of meat that looks like £8 isnt £16 plus when at the till. My biggest gripe with this Store and I have to check if it happens at others is: As soon as you enter the door your mobile internet stops, Thats annoying. You can't use the Tesco mobile app you bought from them. To use Yelp Checkin I had to sit in the cafe and put my mobile on the window pane to connect to Internet, took it off and it went again.
