Co-op Food - Brighton - Lewes Road

The staff here are always friendly (hence the two stars) but since moving to its new location this co-op is very poor. The aisles are extremely narrow and its difficult to move around people, staff restocking shelves etc without banging into people. There is a higher range of items but not nearly enough stock for the area that it serves meaning that they frequently run out of things before they can restock. I gave them the benefit of the doubt during the fuel shortages and the fact there were shortages in other places but now it seems to be just this co-op. The often don't have basic things like coca -cola or much of anything in the pastry and cold cuts fridge. Its also very expensive.

Every single time I get delivery from this store they forget things and I still get charged for them. I tried a diffrent coop but they forgot even more stuff. So I'm stuck with this bunch who only seem to forget 1 item every time. Maybe I'm being unreasonable, maybe it's hard to read a list of 7 items and put it in a bag.

I love this shop but why did they make it smaller?

Such a terrible shop, careless staff, not going back!

BOYCOTT PRICE GOUGERS. Over the last couple of years I've watched in horror as this store has doubled and tripled its prices but, hey, inflation, right? But I realised today that it's nothing of the sort.Today, their frozen pizzas are more expensive than the Pappa Johns next door. Can of chickpeas? £2. Same tin at Sainsburys two minutes up the road? 50p. The cheapest loaf of bread they had today was over £2, for a tiny microloaf. Same loaf at Sainsburys? 85p. One loaf was £4!! Same bread was available at Sainsburys for £1.15. And Sainsburys are hardly cheap either.It's insulting. How dare they rip off their customers like this, in a cost of living crisis? It's using inflation as cover to jack up prices to line their pockets and it's gone too far. And from a supposedly ethical company.I used to shop here three times a day because it was convenient but I'm scared to even work out how much extra money I've handed over to greedy Co-op bosses (CEO paypacket is £1m a year) but no more. I'll never shop here again and will encourage everyone I know to boycott them.

Brilliant staff; friendly, helpful team but what a shame that the company have reduced the sq footage and packed the new store so densely that nothing is easily accessible and aisles are impossibly narrow/small.Really oppressive shopping experience that's worse than ever (& several local independents) with *everything* wrapped in plastic, limited range and only mitigated by the staff attitude.

Since the move next door, Lewes Road Co-OP has taken a step backward. Aisles are so narrow you cant get past when someone is stocking the shelves. Never any fresh bread or pastries on the shelves as they are so narrow they go out of stock after 3 sales. Staff are great though! Used to shop here every morning but no longer...

Went two ago in the night for my shopping.. asked one of the employer that any big bottle of water is left and she said can't you see innthe shelf. This is how they treat there customers however the security guy was there as well and witness of this. I went to the manager to complain about it he just said, I will investigate it. However, I know he will not do anything.. Useless staff and manager. If I will say racist thats a more better word for them..

Red haired lady behind the counter is probably one of the most rude people I have a had the unpleasant experience of interacting with. I understand that you might not like you job but that’s no excuse to be rude and maybe fine other employment instead of alienating customers.
