View Full Version : Haldanes
So what does everyone think of the new Supermarket, Haldanes? I shopped there this morning and was quite impressed by the new spacious layout. Good to see local veg. on sale, like John O'Groats tatties, turnip and cabbage. Caithness eggs and local bakery Macdonalds also filling the shelves. A lot of good opening offers and new items. Good to see all the former friendly Somerfields staff there and well done to Jennifer Oliphant on becoming store manager. I for one will shop there regularly. :)
Pleased to hear of your positive shopping experience. Hope to get to Wick tomorrow for a sneeky peek at their wares.
Was going to pop in on my way back from Wick but ran out of time!
Does it have more interesting "different" stock to the other supermarkets and whats the prices like?
ie is it going to cost more to shop there for the basics?
whats opening and closing times ?

Someone is getting Macdonalds Bakery mixed up with a rather well known fast food chain
Some interesting bargains in the £1 section and was really chuffed with 600 sandwich bags for £1, also some nice gifts. Met at the door with a girl pushing bunches of flowers for mothers day. They were really not worth the £9.99 but OH wanted to treat me. The £4.99 bouquet my friend chose was much nicer and better value.
Everywhere I go I normally have carrier bags in my handbag and am famous for giving them to folk who are trying to balance lots of little bags. Today I had the one handbag with no carrier bags, and were there in a car with no bags or shopping crates in the boot..........a man`s car.......... Haldanes had no sturdy logo bags and flimsy Nisa ones were 2pence each. I took one and managed to pack £35 worth of shopping into it. I would happily have paid even a pound for a hessian one, like my ASDA bag, or the DE shoe bag I usually have out with me.
Clean shop and plenty of choice within the lines..for example five different brands of stewed steak. Like the idea of the sandwiches, hot snacks, salads and cold drinks at the front entrance kiosk, but the girl serving was not very knowledgeable about some of the products on sale behind her counter. I can never understand why shops sell a particular brand of gents razor, but don`t stock the refil blades.
Would call in again if I was going to Wick on an errand, but wouldn`t go there as the Nisa brand groceries are all available in my local shop, Frasers on Castlegreen Road, Thurso.

They charge 2p for their carrier bags but the money goes to local charities.:)

Had some of their baked tatties for my dinner, 4 for 80p so good value and they were some of the best I have tasted. We have just had one open here as a re-badged Somerfield and the fruit and veg is miles better than it was. Which is good for me as I am on a diet.
The shop is also better laid out than the Somerfield was and has more space.

If you were in the queue for five minutes they have already exceeded your prediction of a two minute tenure.
