Woolworths Metro Albert Street — Local services in Waitematā

Woolworths Metro Albert Street, situated in the AMP Centre on Lower Albert Street in Auckland’s CBD, offers a modern and convenient supermarket experience tailored to busy city workers and residents. Open from 6 am to 7 pm on weekdays and from 8 am on weekends, the store caters to early risers and lunchtime shoppers with a well-curated selection of grab-and-go options like fresh salads, gourmet sandwiches, barista-made coffee, and kombucha on tap. The compact store is sleek and well-organised, with self-checkout kiosks and polished product displays that make quick shopping trips efficient and pleasant. While it doesn’t offer the same depth of range as full-sized supermarkets, the essentials are there, and the quality of ready-made meals and fresh produce often receives praise. Customers frequently commend the friendly and efficient staff, noting that it’s an ideal stop for lunch or top-up groceries during a busy day in the city.

The point is—my boyfriend is already...

THE WORSTIWORST SUPERMARKET EXPERIENCE EVER! I work in town, am a regular customer of the store. I come shopping over the weekend too. The Indian lady in the Cafe always looks annoyed when seeing customer approach her. Went to buy the pies on special at 4:30pm today, sadly she was there. she said she would only sell 5 to me as she wanted to keep them for others. Excuse me? I thought you put them on special for quick sale, I thought the longer they stay out, the less fresh they are? Never heard about it when dealing with the other girl. Sorry didn't know you were keeping them for your friends. Had to get manager involved but...
