Spar

Popular corner shop franchise Spar is so big that it has branches in such classy European hangouts as Magaluf, showing that we English just can’t go without our daily fix of essentials at slightly steep prices.
This branch in Harrington Road, Formby is not really different to your standard Spar, offering the usual small selection of bread, cold meats and alcohol that are a bit overpriced. However, this branch does also have a bakery section on which you can purchase hot pastries such as sausage rolls that leave the shop with a lovely home-​baked smell if nothing else.
It also offers a DVD rental service, but I guess that’s rather defunct now as it’s cheaper to buy them off Amazon or download them for free.
