East of England Co-op Foodstore in Mid Suffolk

The manager of this store is one of the most unpleasant people I’ve ever had to deal with. Small minded, petty and just a very unpleasant person. Some of the staff are lovely but there’s others there that clearly don’t understand the 21st century. Head office staff shocked but unable to intervene.

Got just what I needed, but at a higher price.

A different shopping experience from other supermarkets 🙂

Best coffee stop and doughnut balls before work always a clean store with friendly staff

Handy location to get what I require

Absolute lifeline of a place. Friendly - but quick - staff; loads of 'highly addictive' bargains & a really great car park. Exactly what you want a local supermarket to be

I went to use EVRI parcel return. You print off a label and they wrap and send it. I feel that it should be my responsibility to wrap my parcel. Fantastic staff.

Local co-op .. handy and well stocked for a smallish shop. Polite and friendly staff

Staff are really helpful and polite.

A small coop but it has everything you need, staff are very helpful and friendly.

Nice Shop! You always find everything you need!

Much bigger than it seems, very convenient little shop

Didn't go in only picked up someone on the coach, Sorry

Always bargains at the end of the day for bakery, staff friendly.. quite a small shop however.

Kind employees, a good selection but may I ask why an oreo icecream samwitch costs a pound more than a large tub of vanilla icecream?

Bad lay out and expensive, no room to swing a cat so bad for disability. Parking can also be a nightmare at busy times

Fair selection of items, not as large a store as I was expecting and no Brillo pads, no scissors plus another couple of items, so a tad disappointed

Go local shop stocks most stuff

Excellent. Good selection of products and very friendly and helpful staff.

Good if you forget to put beer and snacks on your Tesco order.

Unfortunately since the store moved I have only been twice, the move is too far for me to walk at the moment, I have hip problems, so if I have to get in my car I go to tesco. I don't like the new store, it's lost the friendly atmosphere it used to have, I miss seeing the happy smiling staff, but that's how shopping is these days, but I don't like it.

Decent shop always has what you need and friendly staff. No idea what's going on with the car park though it's always rammed yet never many people in the co op ever or in Finney's. Do people just park there all the time?

My magic box was poor this time and pleasant staff

Get everything you need from here great shop

Friendly staff got everything we wanted

All the basics, decent parking, nice staff.

Near and handy lovely staff always well stocked

Usual stuff for a local store, sells most things

Nice little shop, friendly and helpful staff and you can generally find the essentials you need plus a bit more when you don't want to go to a big store.

My big beef with this particular store is the limited amount of 'real food ' there, particularly when compared with other nearby Co-ops. Seems to be disproportionately about booze, confectionery and snacks.

Did not have what I was looking for but great customer service (5 ⭐)

I was only a passenger in a car , My other passenger always shops here

Not so friendly, some staff look you up and down as if you should not be in there. Prices are high

This co-op is great as it is open long hours, has a good selection of most of what you need without doing a full shop. Staff are helpful reasonable parking and open 7 days a week.

Well stocked and clean store, with polite friendly staff.

Surprisingly large range of groceries.

Might be on the small side for a supermarket but has some of everything including wine 👍

Easy parking. Staff very helpful.

One of my favourites for a quick buy, offers when low on pounds... It's a good mini shop.

Excellent choice of groceries. Very busy as was before the European football final, had to queue to get in. Well worth the wait. Extremely well stocked little store.

Clean clear and clutter free nowadays, much improved in last year.

Very well used convenience store. From the days of munchie runs in the 90's to popping in to get a bottle bag and card last week. Plenty of free parking. Store is stocked with most daily requirements and needs.

Great to see that the shop now has 2 self service tills. Very quick and much better than a lot of other ones I've used. Also selling much nicer ready meals.

Friendly, cheerful staff who are always happy to help.

One of the best coops I've ever been to, and I've been to at least three in my lifetime

Handy location. You can get most things you need. Some a bit dearer than the mainstream supermarket's but you pay for the convenience so it's swings and roundabouts. Staff always friendly.

My local food store, friendly staff always and with these difficult times well organised inside store to keep customers safe

It's a Co-op, handy if you need stuff when everywhere else is shut.

This store & Staff are absolutely fantastic. We use it quite regularly. Staff are always very helpful & very polite, plenty of choice & always good offers. Very well done to all concerned & thank you all very much

Great that they now have hermes but shame on hermes for not giving good training and support.

Its a very convinent foodstore and the staff are very friendly and professional.

A remarkable little shop where the ladies are working there socks off!

Local handy store for those items missing from the main shop.

Typical local co-op, all the basics packed into a small space.

Great service, store is always clean and the staff manage everything so well!

I love shopping here. Such lovely staff.

Small and hot much choice. Not great for social distancing

Has everything you would expect from a small COOP. Nothing bad to report from my experience.

Small and basic. But that's all you need from a local Co Op

Ideal for quick shopping and closes a bit late which is good.

This coop serves Needham Market and surrounding vilages well with friendly helpful staff and a good sized car park on doorstep. Jenny is a smiley girl who welcomes everyone and is very patient too.

Shop OK but staff on tills were chatting and not serving

Staff always very friendly and helpful. If I need something ant this is the nearest shop, I'm more than happy to go here!

Nice friendly staff great opening hours

Same as most, ok for little bits and pieces

Open all hours with friendly staff who are always happy to help. Next door is a hardware shop that sells everything.

A little pokey, often a queue here too. Has all of the basic essentials. Really could do with a facelift.

Lovely little branch but don't think 2 branchs required within 5mins walking

Open long hours for those things you forget

These guys rock! The store is 99% stocked well, (sometimes they may be awaiting a delivery and therefore out of stock of one or two items), and the staff are really friendly and knowledgeable.. Good job!

Very helpful and willing to put themselves out which is good for me as I am disabled

known locally as alldays great freindly staff stock is quite amazing open late but premium prices

Not bad range of stock verious prises in the hight when shud be low but brilliant staff

If you time it right, you might not have to queue for an age to get the couple of bits you want. They seem to be having a bit of trouble with the tills and contactless payment at the time of review, and have been for a while - not that it seems to make a difference to queuing times!

A decent local convenience store, with a reasonable range of products for a shop of its size. It's the Co-op though, so don't expect low prices. A packet of ginger nuts here (£1.59) costs 7 times the price of a similar product in Asda (22p). That's partly because the Co-op seems to stock the most expensive brands. e. g. most supermarkets sell Colgate 'Sensitive' toothpaste for around £1.80 but the Co-op only sells Sensodyne, which is the most expensive brand, for £5.00. The opening hours here have recently been extended to 0600-2300 (except Sunday, 0700-2200) which is great for night owls like me. The staff are friendly and efficient but don't expect their contactless card machines to work - they're always going wrong! (Chip and pin still works though). A much-valued facility in the town but, as I said, not cheap.

Very useful, good range of produce, no cash machine but were happy to do cash back
