Has anyone been in a Haldanes supermarket? I'm thinking of going to the one in Carterton this weekend. Is it worth my while and any idea of the deals there?

We have one that used to be a sommerfeilds - not impressed at all to be honnest but it is a community store rather than a supermarket size. Its expensive ( more so than co-op / sommerfeilds) the range in mine is average and no "own " brand its all named brand things. Only good point is that our sells local meat / produce ( cakes, eggs, cordial) but the co-op up the road does that as well, so not a massive draw.
This is just ours though, others in the country might be different ( not sure if they are inderpendants or chain as ours use "nisa" branded carrier bags? )0 -
Trying to find out whats happening to this chain. Kelso shop is really struggling, down to half filled shelves . Staff say there is a cash flow problem and they have no idea whats happening. Local gossip is that Tescos have bought it. Agree with yours views on the shop, must be a worrying time for the staff. We have a Co op and Lidl as well thank goodness, the set up in ours is the same as yours. NewSainsburyopening late Summer:j0

Can i just ask where you are in the UK? The reason being my local Haldanes used to be Somerfields and their is a Co_op up the road!0 -
Oh God! Just read the date of the OP - 6 Sep 2010!!!
Forget i asked - lol!!0 -
Yes we are talking about today, 9th June.2011. I am in the Scottish Borders but the Wick Shop is in the same predicament. Our Haldanes has been a Safeway, then Morrisons, then Somerfields, then a Somerfields/Co op and was sold to Haldanes . I use it for top up shopping, the home delivery service is useful.
Have you been in your branch lately? Are they having problems as well?0 -
