Morrison's in the Killingworth Centre is a good-sized Supermarket offering every day groceries plus…read moremagazines, books, clothes and some Electronics and entertainment items. There is a good Deli here too, with a wide variety of take away meals, cheeses, meats and an in-house bakery offering freshly baked bread and delicious cakes. Morrison's also has a great selection of "free from" foods with gluten, dairy and wheat free products. The staff are friendly, there is a good in-house Café to eat at, and the store supports the local community well through a notice board and fund raising projects. The only thing stopping me giving this Morrison's 5 stars is the fact that I've regularly found it lacking in stock. Every day items often seem to be out of stock and not replenished quickly. That apart, it's my local Supermarket of choice and rarely disappoints.

The actual store is very clean and bright but as the store also takes payment for petrol as well as shop goods it can have horrendous queues. I only use this store if I'm desperate if I'm honest as it does have a limited stock to offer.Also since the full sized Tesco supermarket is just along the road it's just as easy to go there.

This Tesco Express is part of the Esso garage at Billy Mill…read more The garage always seems to be busy, having to queue for a pump or for a parking space. The pumps do not have a card payment option so you will also find that the queues instore can be a pain as well. The shop itself is very clean and is well stocked. There is always fresh fruit and vegetables incase you need to stock up. The staff are polite but stressed. You can see it in their faces that they wish the queues would go down. The most annoying thing about the store is that if you are just want to pay for petrol you still have to queue with the people who have shopping. And some have loads. They should dedicate one till to petrol only or change the pumps to the card type. All that said the petrol station is one of the cheapest in the area and has one of a limited number of cash points in the area.

Large Holland and Barrett store selling a good range of products from your traditional health foods…read moreof nuts and seeds, to chilled goods and even healthy(er) sweets and chocolate. The shop also stocks a great range of vitamins and the staff are knowledgable and can point you in the right direction if you have any particular health issues. The shop also offers food intollerence testing every month or show (ring them for times and dates) which I personally found to be invaluable and has made a big difference to my life. On the downside, the products can be quite expensive but when you take into account the health benefits it is still well worth a visit, as products are often on offer. Is worth visiting just to pick up a copy of Holland and Barrett's acclaimed magazine Healthy for a mere £1.50 which includes money off coupons and health advice.
