The light dusting of sand over the shop, gives an idea of its popularity with people using the beach. A standard sized Spar, with all the usual facilities - National Lottery, essential groceries and an impressive alcohol section. In addition there is also a DVD rental service and a small hot and cold food outlet at the back of the shop, that does a roaring trade with the surfers.

They do promote very good deals every week (i.e. 2 bottles of Argentinian wine for £7 and 6 Cadburys crème eggs half price at £1.22 this week) and have many handy options for meals or snacks after a busy day at work. The best thing is that offer a wide range of fair trade goods, from coffee and chocolate to wine and fruit, and the premium for such goods is really rather small especially when you factor in associated deals. This particular co-op has a good layout and friendly staff and stays open until 11 pm so its handy for late night last-minutes.

Spar is only about 2 minutes walk from the main college campus in Falmouth so it is also really convenient for grabbing something to eat in a break. They have quite a decent range of alcoholic drinks but for students the spar bitter has got to be the most affordable if not the most refined. Overall I would highly recommend the Falmouth Spar as a fine shop for emergency snacks and cheap drinks with a smile.

Everything that the Spar has plus a Deli, amazing selection of cheeses, better booze and freshly prepared heat-up meals. The staff too are really friendly and helpful.

They are slightly more expensive but you get what you pay for.....their wine sectrion is extremely good with a nice selection of chateau-bottled wines on offer. The car park is too small for the size of the store although it does have a second storey. Parking between spaces seems slightly tighter than usual. They need to expand parking if they can. Exiting the store is difficult as the roundabout is always very busy. Other than that, a pleasant shopping experience! Would have been 5 stars if parking arrangements were better.

This shop has a petrol station on the left as you come in, and generally the petrol seems to be reasonably cheap in comparison with others in the local area. It isn't too hard to find a space in the car park usually. The store itself is quite large with a good choice of most items. It has fish, bakery and deli counters. This Sainsbury's also sells clothes and household goods. Occasionally it can be difficult exiting on to the main roundabout when leaving the car park.
