The Co-operative Food

Not bad would be better with more staff. . only 2 on a morning shift is not enough

This small store in The Square, Market Bosworth has a monopoly on food shopping locally and is pretty basic and fairly pricey. It's handy for the odd purchase if you're out of milk/bread and has convenient trading hours. The staff are helpful and friendly. Sadly, as of last week, I feel it has taken a retrograde step by installing an entire sweets section aimed specifically at children, along with plastic toys, plus copious amounts of fizzy drinks and water, all in plastic bottles/containers. What was once primarily a shop to buy food basics is now a shop that appears to have taken no notice of government moves to reduce sugar (and childhood obesity) and plastics consumption and is obviously lacking a moral compass, preferring to put profit above all else. The installation of a self-service coffee machine just inside the entrance means that more people than usual park up illegally outside on double yellow lines to nip in for coffee, posing a traffic hazard as they do so and having no regard for the law. Come on Co-op, it's 2019, be part of the environmental solution, not the problem!

Lovely ambiance and lovely staff considering the hours the store is open. Always look forward to a visit here. They also do occasional deals. 3 years later and nothing has changed. Just called in and the staff are delightful, helpful,and I feel like I'm visiting a modern version of the shop I used to visit outside Kendal Castle many many years ago. Thank you staff.
