Revamped Tesco Poleberry

Woodgate

Just wondering if people think, like me, that the revamped Tesco Poleberry is crap. I was expecting alot more considering all the wasted space that was there before. However the have made the floorspace smaller, smaller range of products and the checkout area is a total disaster, no room to queue. It was always a handy place for me to shop but I much rather Ardkeen now.:)

Think we have a topic on this already, though I could be imagining things.

Not a fan of the revamped Tesco. Much smaller and cramped - a complete waste of space now. They took some chunk away, and now Tramore is bigger then it. If anything its now just like a Spar or Centra style place. Didn't think lifestyle would hang about tho.

I haven't been in there but I'm very impressed with tesco out in ardkeen of late from a retail point of view. I mean everything is well stocked and faced and the place is spotless. Fair play to them out there.

I visited it yesterday, the checkout area is gone to the dogs, small amount of people means its packed and hard to get by

ye its rubbish down there aisles are too small,everythings on top of other things,totally poor layout,they have the fruit and veg,bread etc in the wrong spot,it should be over on the other side along with the checkouts.think the layout before was better,just lack of goods is all.

It is an odd place. Seems much smaller, more cramped aisles and a somewhat strange layout of aisles. Seems busier than I've ever seen it though. Maybe just because it's "new."

ardkeen is far and away the best store in waterford. loads of local produce and homemade food. only negative is that its pricey. they really have created a niche market, fair play to them.

A good read for anyone perplexed as to why the new Poleberry is layed out as it is.

I wouldn't think anyone from Tesco read it either. Current layout would put people off rather than encourage them.

Although it has its bad points, its a massive step up from what it was

Agree that Ardkeen is way better, but what about those ppl who live nearby Poleberry? They do their shopping there.. The place is rubbish tho

Although I live near Tesco Ardkeen, I go to Tesco Poleberry about three times a week on my way home from work. I find it quicker to park, shop and get out again, and its adequate for my needs on those days. At the weekends when I have a longer time to shop, I would go to Tesco Ardkeen for the wider choice of products, (but the parking drives me crazy).:mad:

Used to always go to tesco in poleberry, but then the things I wanted they seemed to not have so tried tesco in ardkeen and its much better and stayed with them and I have noticed as of this week their prices are even lower than before. Did'nt see the revamped store in poleberry but when the odd time that I used to go there it felt a bit odd. Ardkeen is better I think, James.

P.S there is no problem with parking in ardkeen triona.

I know there is no problem with the actual carpark in Ardkeen stores James, its the way, as discussed in the other post, that some people are parking. I had such a near miss the other day because my view was restricted by people parking at the ends where the lines are, it just does my head in.

I know triona, but you will get idiots everywhere and in all carparks. The other thing that p**ses me off is the way people park their trolleys in the store. They leave them at all angles and are looking up at the shelves and dont keep them tidy against the shelves. Or leave them anywhere and walk halfway across the store. LEAVE THEM CLOSE TO THE SHELVE :mad: for crying out load!!!.

I never did understand why Tesco took over a flagship store and trashed it?

More people seem to have stopped going there because Tesco slowly cut off the stores life blood - its stock - than any other reason so any reduction in customer numbers is Tesco's own fault to the extent that it seems they wanted to make the store crap.
