Heron Foods

Heron Foods is the newest addition to the Middleton Shopping Centre. Well. it is the newest shop opening, having moved downstairs into the old Quality Save building, which adds to the list of stores moving elsewhere in the Middleton Shopping centre for more space and a better spot.
Heron Foods is quite a large frozen food chain with 243 stores in the north of England, and the midlands. This store is a reasonable size, and is obviously much nicer, newer and larger than their upstairs store, and of course they have done well doing this in such a short space of time, as from local knowledge, they have only been working on the store for a few weeks.
The store has a good amount of stock and is labelled for the topic, for example Mccain Chips, pizza and ready meals, they have some very good prices here such as 49p for a 1kg bag of sugar, and even 75p for a large, reusable pack of New Covent Garden Soup, which steals one of my favourite offers in Quality Save, not only is it cheaper, it comes in a larger, nicer reusable bottle.
Heron Foods was previously called Heron Frozen, but now of course they have expanded stocking a better range including drinks, milk, cheese, sugar and soup, which is also nice to see, as it adds more variety to the store.
They is of course, like any store some more expensive products and some poorer products which are cheap, pound-​shop worthy, but I understand they need to fill space (although they could do it better), and get profits up somewhere (from selling some items at a cheaper rate), but still this does need to be looked at.
The store its-​self continues to follow Heron’s blue and yellow theme and is quite nice.
The staff here seemed okay, although not as quick, and helpful as you would expect from a store on its’ grand-​opening day. Unfortunately they didn’t seem to stock any gluten free frozen brands, which meant picking up products one by one, to check the ingredients the old fashioned way, which was quite annoying and inconvenient.
They is some poor aspects, as mentioned in this review, and this store certainly isn’t perfect, but it is quite a nice store and I’m pleased to see them moving in a better location, which means not having to go up and down floors in the shopping centre (where they is little to nothing) and of course it is easier to get in and out with frozen goods.
