AT.s Food and Wine

I wouldn’t normally take the time to review an Off-​License, but ATs surprised me to the point of action. Essentially, I went in to get a cheeky chocolate bar after my lunch and I had to stop for a moment and regain my bearings. It’s so clean! It’s the cleanest, tidiest, most pleasantly merchandised off license I’ve ever been in. The coolers with drinks were enclosed behind clean glass, the crisps were aligned and neat on the back wall, the chocolate bars were fully stocked and almost glistened. Some of the walls were painted with accents of red, there were no scuffs on the white walls or the floors. No bottles or food items had that depressing film of dust and illegible use-​by dates. Nothing over-​priced that I could see. The atmosphere gave me a comfort that I’ve never known in a corner shop. The two gents working were as friendly as an average off license attendant but the cleanliness of the shop elicited my appreciation, and admiration for their efforts… well done chaps! I won’t go out of my way to come here, as you’re always ever a few feet away from one, but they’ve raised the bar and have ruined me for other shops!
