Convenience Stores in Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland

“Just round the corner and it sells things the \\\"Big Stores\\\" forget we need, and often cheaper for it than the BS. NB check the price when you get to the till - they forget to update the shelf tags ? you'll get a refund, if you catch them, if, eg I was charged £2 for a £1 item - if it'd been in my main shop I'd not have noticed but it was the only thing I bought. Usually they overcharge by 20p?”

“Comprehensive supermarket with in store off licence,butchery,hot/cold food,coffee counter plus all grocery good parking for cars Van's campers very accessible to motorway,hotels, and general amenities staff go that extra mile to be helpful”

“Great staff, very attentive and friendly.... One criticism though...... No customer toilet ? and a request to use the toilet upstairs, which I have been allowed to do before, was denied this morning while I was in the shop. The girl told me she has just started to work there and she has been told tthat customers are not allowed to use the toilet. I think a customer toilet would be a great addition to the shop. Something to think about?”

“All fine. The petrol station has been upgraded to "Go", there is a reasonable stock collection available inside, does the lotto and has coffee and plenty of snacks. Does not have a great range of fresh food - but I can imagine there is not a major demand for it. It is a bit confusing over the 24 hours and the 24 hour pumps - the times seem to change every now and then. But all in all - all good. Does what it says on the tin. In fairness the petrol/diesel tends to be the cheapest in the area - hence I always get mine here :-) That can't be bad! Only 4 star as it does not have a massive range -but for what it is, it is spot on!”

“Can't thank the staff enough, my 2 year old fell outside and bust his lip, the girl with blonde hair think she was a team leader went above n beyond to help him, thankyou very much”

“Always has good family meal deals on. Staff are very friendly and welcoming which is a bonus. Just the local shop, but always have a quick chat about your day which makes it feel more personal than just paying for your shopping. 10/10”

“This goes to young lady who helped me to get myself to Carnmoney hill SPAR as i had to collect a parcel from there. Google maps showed location on Antrim rd for Carnmoney hill SPAR as well. This needs sorted ASAP.Thank you for such attitude towards customers lady. It is much appreciated ?”

“Newly renovated - looks much better. Big wide aisle which are much easier to get around. Has all the expected stock & offers. As ever - focused on the £1 sweet deals at the till..which is a killer temptation most of us do not want! Service is good and stock availability seems to be good. Free cash machine just outside the shop & post office inside. Sells newspapers, fruit and snacks/grocery.”

“Great place to shop staff are so friendly and helpful, I'd like to say special thanks to Martin Kelly he goes above and beyond to get his customers what ever they are looking for!!!!!!!”

“**Review based solely on the ice cream alone** I just had to come on and a leave a review as the ice cream in this Centra is one of the nicest!! Only downfall is sometimes the machine is off and they don't do Nutella sauce ?”

“The Irish version of a Truck stop, what I really like about these locations is that on major roads there is often one on both sides of the motorway, pull off, go through the round about and back on no confusing twists and turns, They have a couple of fast food and coffee places inside along with a convenience store and fuel. Friendly staffSausage rollunlike many American shop you fill up with fuel and then pay inside.Prices are about the same as all the other fueling locations”

“Always easy to park with good staff and very clean. As with a small metro food choices are limited, but this is too be expected. I don't like how metro stores, in general, always charge more, but I guess that's just the way it is.”

“Huge spot with amazing facilities and 4 different places to get coffee! The staff working in the main Applegreen shop were so so friendly. Also present is Greggs, Chopstix, LaVazza, Subway and Burger King with many seats available. Also has a fuel station and lorry/bus parking round the back. However, do note that it is only really accessible on the way out of Belfast and not to Belfast.”

“This is the friendliest shop around. I recently had to return a package to Amazon and had trouble getting the scanner to work. Without any hesitation the staff were more than helpful, above and beyond. It had been quite a while since I had used the service and the willingness of the staff had not changed.”

“They recently installed a whole bank of self service desks and reduced the main check out to one single person and that person is supposed only for alcohol, tobacco and scratch cards, horrendous abuse of elderly people that regularly shop there, I for one won't use the store again. Tesco's greed knows no bounds. Glasnevin Tesco Express Dublin. shame on you.”

“Shopped in this small store. Paul served me and was so helpful. Had problem with my phone for my club card. . Went above and beyond. Much appreciated......Thank you Paul.....”

“Far the best tesco in Northen Ireland I ever visited !!! Great and helpfull staff shelves are most of the times full nice discounts time to time actually I living near by another tesco superstore but most of the times travelling to this one !!!! Worth the 10 mins driving !!!”

“Slightly addicted to this place lol. Everything is so good ? I ordered a half noodles half rice orange chicken and salt and pepper chicken. Kids loved it too. Staff are so lovley. So many options can't go wrong.”

“Went to look at mobile phones on Tuesday or Wednesday around 5pm? There was a lovely woman who helped me, couldn't have been more helpful. Never had service quite like like it, told her I'd leave a review. Sorry I can't remember your name, but thank you so much for your great service!”

“It's ok for a spar relatively new but slow and expensive for it being a new refurbished shop staff are a bit slow but I guess if there new that is acceptable I was 5 p short so one of the staff members helped me for it I like it just the deli staff are a bit slow”

“Despite not being in the most attractive place, this shop offers an excellent selection of food, drink and knick knacks.If you desire a sweet treat, this is the place to be. Their milkshakes and ice creams are truly delicious, while the selection of hot food and drinks, cakes, and buns makes this a good choice.The shop is both clean and spacious, and the staff provide a helpful, efficient and quick service.The provision of both toilets and a good sized seating area are both handy for an affordable lunch or treat, and for long distance travellers with time to spare this place, I think, doubles essentially as a miniature service area.The only downside is that occasionally some items are unavailable, so be prepared. This is not the fault of the shop owners, it should be stated.Otherwise, this is definitely worth a visit.”

“Mary's Place isn't just a newsagents, this wee gem does a Sunday dinner that hits the spot, especially on hangover day when nobody can b bothered to cook and when u just don't want junk food. Nouvelle cuisine it aint but just good aul home cooking, like mums and something u don't get in a restuarant(bigga peas)..I know, not to everyone's taste but hey it reminds me of home. Roast beef and stuffed chicken wrapped in bacon costs £5.95 and turkey, ham and stuffing £6.50..only draw back is no dinner's during December due to traffic on Shore Rd at this time of year, it plays havoc with deliverys.”
