Countdown Supermarkets

Great supermarket in a handy location - I enjoy shopping here. Great range of products, always has everything I need. Good to see they have installed self serve checkouts.

We alternate between Countdown and New World, as they are opposite each other in Stoke.
The prices at Countdown are similar to New World, and the checkout operators do not pester us with silly questions as they do at New World eg are you having a busy day, plans for the weekend, blah, blah blah!! Such a nice change.
Nice wide aisles, excellent range of goods and always nice and clean. Often hard to find a staff member out in the aisles to ask where an item is, otherwise very good. Meat prices seem to be higher than elsewhere, and the car park is a bit of a challenge with it's ups and downs.

Good selection in a handy location. Isles are very narrow and can be tricky to navigate. Adding the self check outs in has reduced queuing time significantly.

Smaller countdown but well located - car parking can be a bit of a hassle as it's a busy area. Find items may be out of stock on shelf but staff happy to look out the back for more stock

Good selection, sufficient parking. Aisles are nice and wide. This supermarket often looks a little grubby and run down.
