Convenience Stores in Louth, Lincolnshire

“I go here weekly to post mail and often make purchases from the shop. All staff are friendly and helpful and a good range of goods are on offer, including fresh fruit and veg and plants. They stock a lot of meat items but as a non meat eater I can’t comment further other than to say it appears very popular and I have friends who say its good. Overall its a godsend!”

“For a small store in an out of the way village the local co-op offers first class service by friendly staff. Selection maybe limited but as the saying goes, "you can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time....."A great little store!”

“Coop cards are worth having, if you're a student get a Totum card which gives you ten percent off when you have a coop card also.This is my local shop, people are friendly and, although not all the deals a big coop has, the freezer deals and other offers are well worth the money, everyone needs a quick freezer meal sometimes (when it's my turn to cook tea aha).”

“Lincolnshire Co-op, Louth: Well-Stocked but Slow Service

The Lincolnshire Co-op in Louth is a convenient store with a consistently impressive range of products. The shelves are always well-stocked, making it a reliable option for grocery shopping. The store is also conveniently located with ample parking, including a valuable EV charging point.

However, the store's biggest downfall is the often excessive wait times at the checkout. It's not uncommon to find long queues during peak times, which can be frustrating for customers. Perhaps introducing self-service checkouts could alleviate this issue and improve the overall shopping experience.

Despite the queueing, the store remains a valuable asset to the community due to its comprehensive product range and convenient location.”

“Brilliant very helpful and loads of variety at various budgets and will always have something to cover most items or order items in if can. I ordered a cooked chicken was poorly and rang next day and the Spar had not sold the chicken. They also have wide isles that are wheelchair friendly and very willing to reach higher stuff or help in any way they can so thank you”

“Gail Dean and her team are very helpful.Incase you don't know about coop: The Co-operative movement started way back in 1844 in the town of Rochdale. A few local people got together to start a society that would treat the local people with respect and provide affordable food for all.The Rochdale Principles are still the guiding rule book the Co-op lives by. The Co-op membership was revolutionary for its day, allowing people from all walks of life to benefit from being a member. They didn't discriminate and anyone who could uphold the responsibilities could become a member.The Second World War put a stop to any further expansion for the Co-op. The CWS moved to support the war effort by using its power to source much needed suppliers from overseas.The CWS started planning for the future after the war, knowing there would be massive disruption to the food supply for the country. It published a report in 1944 called 'Policy and Programme' recommending the merger of CWS and the Scottish CWS into one large wholesaler. The report also recommended merging some of the local movements.The report was badly received and it wasn't completely implemented.In 1942 the London Co-operative Society opened its first self service store, leading the way in this new kind of shopping.”

“This has recently opened after the previous newsagents-grocery store on the site closed. I was visiting family in Louth over Christmas and we had a slight accident with the cream so I was told to go here and get some as it had recently opened. I can't believe the difference from the previous shop. It is now a well laid out minimarket with quite a wide variety of products and at surprisingly cheap prices. Not only did I pick up the cream that I had to get but quite a few other items too. I seriously couldn't believe how cheap some of the products were and what high quality they were - beating some of the supermarket prices by a good margin. If you live nearby it's well worth a quick visit before you go to either of the two town centre supermarkets for your shopping. The staff (considering it was christmas day when I visited) were very friendly.”
