Co-op Food - Farsley - Town Street — Local services in Leeds

The bar for Co-ops seems to be disappointingly low in general so it's no surprise that this Farsley branch is no exception. You'd not be wrong in thinking that the Farsley Co-op is a supermarket but what you're actually entering is a hunger-games style warehouse for Uber & Deliveroo orders.

Love it, local to me and prices now seem to be ok for a local shop. Years ago co-op prices were extortionate, I remortgaged once to buy a loaf of bread :-) .
