The last chance saloon for groceries and grub if you’re walking along Albany Road away from its shop-stuffed end, Springfield Superstore is a convenience store in the finest traditions of such shops. In other words, everything is arranged on shelves with no discernible deference to logic or any target market. The ramshackle selection of fruit and veg is a mite baffling as well — maybe it just gets moved around, but the varieties they stock seem to change every time you go in there. It does give a feasible alternative to outlets like the nearby Albany Convenience Store, though: alongside all the usual snacks, drinks and the like, you can pick up Halal goods and assorted Indian cookery ingredients. Springfield Superstore’s continuing relative success quite conceivably helped to kill off the infinitely superior but sadly short-lived fruit and veg outlet next door, a possibility that would lose it a mark if only it were worthy of a few more in the first place.

Apu: Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart? Now here comes the tricky part. Oh, won’t you rhyme with me? Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart? Marge: Their floors are stick-E-Mart, Lisa: They made Dad sick-E-Mart, Bart: Let’s hurl a brick-E-Mart, Homer: The Kwik-E-Mart is real… D’oh! Quite. The Springfield Superstore has nothing to do with The Simpsons, nor does it have anything to do with superstores as it is a large convenience store, albeit one with a halal butcher at the back of store. Similar to World Foods on Strathnairn Street it is full of all the bits and pieces you’d ever need for a top notch Indian banquet, but unlike World Foods, Springfield Superstore can also slip you some fags and a packet of Monster Munch too. Also it’s worth popping in if you want to know the score in the cricket as the fella will have it live on his laptop behind the counter. One question I’d like to ask though is why are the eggs located below the counter?

Springfield Superstore seems to be as keen to make claims that could be accused of being slightly exaggerated, just like The Claude pub across the road. It is a large convenience store that is very well run and offers a lot of products and services, when compared to other shops of this type, but a superstore it is not! So here’s the list: Springfield Superstore sells tobacco, soft drinks, party cakes, fruit and veg, general groceries, Halal meat, spices, and offers mobile top-up and international phone cards. It always has a few great offers on, but the prices are generally higher than at the supermarket. Run by lovely people, I would prefer to buy stuff from here than at Tesco’s any day!
