Central Co-op Food

I was shopping with my 14-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter. My daughter was using one of the small children’s trolleys, which quickly became full. Shortly before reaching the checkout, I picked up a box of cider. As the trolley could not hold a second box, I asked my son to carry it for me. Upon reaching the tills, I was informed that I could only purchase one box of cider because my son had been holding the second. Despite presenting valid identification and making it clear that the alcohol was for myself, the sale was refused. I asked to speak with the manager, but unfortunately found them to be unhelpful and dismissive. The refusal of sale caused unnecessary embarrassment, particularly as I was with my children and other customers were present. I fully understand and support the importance of preventing underage sales, however in this case the policy was applied in an unreasonable and inflexible manner. Furthermore, there was no signage in or outside the store indicating that alcohol cannot be carried by minors even when accompanying a parent or guardian.

Never has the stock for deals. Staff don't really know what they are doing. Another coop that inflates its prices due to being part of an old person's living complex

Easy parking clean store fair prices fast checkout

Pleasure to shop here. Staff obviously happy and want to be helpful

Rude staff, shop is a mess and the lazy duty manager

Visiting Reepham to see family in the area I was pleasantly surprised to find the store open till 10 . Good range of stuff and lovely staff who went to cuddle my barking dog waiting outside !

Friendly and helpful staff. Clean and tidy store with a good selection of products. Decent size carpark with 2 disabled bays. All round enjoyable shopping.

Friendly staff, a clean store and car park and well stocked shelves. A brilliant place.
