I was quite surprised to learn that the Co?op on Balfour Street recently experienced an incident where a vehicle drove into the front entrance. While this was undoubtedly an unfortunate event, it has inadvertently introduced what could be humorously described as a ?drive-thru? service ? albeit not in the conventional sense. It is unfortunate that such a feature isn?t located in a more strategic position, such as near an expressway or motorway, where it might better serve customers and potentially increase sales.
The Co?op has long been a convenient and reliable establishment for the local community, offering a good range of essential products and friendly service. Although occasional challenges with stock availability have been noted during peak periods, these are understandable given the size and nature of the store.
Overall, the Co?op remains a valuable asset to the area, and I look forward to visiting and using the new and improved ?drive-thru? service once the store reopens

It's normally a good local store but the last few months the deliverys have been very it and miss with a lot of empty shelves and it's even affecting the paper delivery,is some mornings very late, also some times not all the papers have been delivered I no it's not the staffs fault but if it's your main shop it can be very frustrating by sometimes having to go back 2/3times a day to see if deliverys have been

This Co-op always seems busy. But the staff are usually pleasant and always helpful. Only street parking though, so can be a bit chaotic outside!
