Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their exceptional helpfulness, friendliness, and politeness, often noting their willingness to go the extra mile. People frequently highlight the phenomenal range, quality, and price of the products, finding great value and significant savings compared to other retailers. Many consumers appreciate the variety of items, including major supermarket brands, and the ability to purchase products that would normally be too expensive. However, some customers have experienced issues with staff, describing instances of dismissive or rude behavior from certain individuals, particularly managers. A few people also mentioned concerns about misleading pricing, where shelf labels did not match the price at the till, and felt that some items were not significantly cheaper than regular supermarkets, especially considering their proximity to "use by" dates.

Written by the company

Company Shop is all about saving. It’s about saving serious money on branded groceries. And it’s about saving perfectly good food from going to waste. We help our members get more for their money and save big on the brands they love all while stopping good stuff from going to waste, making shopping with us good for budgets, good for bargain hunters and good for the environment too. Buy anything at Company Shop and you’re saving it from being thrown away. And, yes, that includes your favourite Victoria Sponge. That’s because most of what we sell are “surplus” products. “Surplus” is stuff that supermarkets and manufacturers are unable to sell or that they no longer have space for. Until we came along, these perfectly good products would often go to waste. But thanks to our surplus supermarkets and savvy members they now make it on to dinner tables and into people’s homes. So, as you tuck into anything from crisps to casserole, get the good feeling that comes from knowing you’re not only saving money you’re helping save our planet too. We are a Surplus Supermarket where our members can save big on the brands they love and stop good stuff from going to waste. Company Shop. Where value never felt so good.

Worth Joining

I recently joined the membership for the Renfrew store, and was pleasantly surprised by the range of products; often from major retailers like M&S, Waitrose, Sainsburys, Morrisons, Tesco etc. and the savings which they offer. It is a good concept, and one which I wish I joined sooner.

Upon joining I took my UK Passport, Proof of Residence and Proof of Income. The lady at the service desk took my photo but then said she couldn't issue a membership card as their printer isn't working. I have been back a few times since and, lo and behold, the printer still hasnt been fixed. That isn't the greatest 'first impression' is it? I mean, if I didn't have my ID upon joining, they wouldn't have entertained me for membership, would they?

Other issues, the location is a bit out-of-the-way as it is situated in a run-down former retail park with nothing else nearby; and the car park has many potholes.

However, if you can accept that its a no frills shopping experience where you'll find a few bargains, this might be the place for you.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
We know it was frustrating for our members to be unable to collect their cards while the printers were out of action. I can confirm that the card printer is now in working order and so you should have no issues collecting your card on your next visit.
We apologise for the inconvenience this caused, and hope you continue to enjoy shopping with us.

Kind Regards

Dear Mr Harold,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Unfortunately due to the nature of our stock, it is not possible for us to offer a delivery service. Because our stock is surplus and changes day-to-day it sadly isn't feasible for us to have an order/delivery platform.
Regards
Company Shop Group

Such a great place to shop

Such a great place to shop. If you expect "normal" supermarket prices and foods do not go. The food is excellent may have a short date life but well worth it. The staff are excellent and always filling shelves, and freezers and cool fridges. The cost of things is well below any expected prices

Raised a complaint about staff behaviour and lost my membership

This review relates specifically to the Company Shop store in Middleton.
I raised a complaint about how I was treated by a member of staff at this store and the outcome was that my membership was cancelled.
During my visit I was spoken to in a way I found belittling and was shouted at in front of other customers. I later saw the same staff member discussing me with colleagues in a public area of the store, which felt humiliating and completely unprofessional.
Instead of a transparent investigation into what happened, I was told the decision to cancel my membership was “discretionary”, that no details of the allegations would be shared with me, and that there is no appeal process.
Since then I have emailed the company twice asking for acknowledgement and asking for the matter to be reviewed by senior leadership. I have received no response.
I served 10 years in the Armed Forces and now work within the NHS, but more importantly I am simply a member of the public who expected basic respect when shopping and when raising a concern.
Company Shop is used by many people trying to stretch their budgets, including families and vulnerable members of the community. If someone who is prepared to raise concerns can have their membership removed in this way, it raises serious questions about how complaints are handled and what happens to people who feel less able to speak up.
Customers deserve respect, transparency, and fair treatment when they raise concerns. That was not my experience at the Middleton store

The Long Eaton Company Shop

The company shop is incredible with so many bargains to be had. The meat is amazing and we got some free bananas so was able to make some very cheap banana pancakes and banana bread. We even managed to get my oat milk at 1/3 of the cheapest price I pay in the supermarkets, what a steal! It is good quaility food at prices we can actually afford. No going hungry after a Company Shop

Its brilliant, you never know what your going get but its always good

Its brilliant, there is always lots of.things to choose from at great prices, part of why I enjoy going is not knowing whats going to be there it has made us think of different recipes, ways of preserving and pickling things, some of the meat is of exceptional quality, wagu steaks and corn fed chicken on my last visit both at half shop price. Its really made a difference to our budget and what we eat and no review of the company shop should be made without mentioning the team that work there, always welcoming, helpful and friendly.. well worth signing up for and give it a go, think of different ways to use food and help reduce food waste.. well done company shop you are doing an amazing job

Love the company shop

Love the company shop, yes at times there are some really good bargains other times not much but with there prices you can afford to try some things you would not normally buy, my only moan is I wish it was closer to home here in Northampton.
