    I've found the size of the store doesn't make much difference. We have a HUGE store opened last year nearby BUT can never find anything in there we'd want to buy - it's full of Pizza, burgers etc. and very unhealthy ready meals - total carp! Gone in quite a few times hoping they had got better but we can never find anything in there. 6 miles away is a MUCH smaller store which has FAR more selection and healthier options. It's very easy to buy more than our freezer would hold in there.

    I think a lot depends on the manager - a fast/junk food addict who doesn't like meat, fish & veggies must be at our local. I wouldn't think it's too much to do with what the locals buy as most people shop in both towns - the smaller store is in a town with far more shops and loads of free parking.


    And the type of people that live around the shop as well. There is a large Iceland about a couple of miles from here and its on the outskirts of a large council estate. Hence why loads of chicken nuggets, chips, pizzas and poor quality burgers. The Iceland on the same street as my work has a better selection such as more of their world food ready meals etc.

    there's also one in West Bridgford which is in the better, greener side of town where folk has nicer houses! So maybe, they'll stock a more healthier range!

    From memory isn't there a massive 24-hr Mr T's in Bulwell? Won't they take your Iceland vouchers?
