friendly people run the store.i only go there if i'm desperate for something. you pay a higher price for the convience. mostly located in handy spots, only street parking available in my area. if you have a couple of things makes it a little difficult to carry aroundto the car. it is good to support the locals as they do it tough with the major chains always discounting the popular products and running them out of business.
in my suburb which makes it handy to get to. supporting the local community.
the price on most items. limit on product range. no parking area.

For their convenience factor and the service you receive it's well worth getting to know your local store. If you keep an eye out on their specials you'll pick up a bargain as well. Their support of their local community is also fantastic
Friendly atmosphere and a chance that you'll get to know the familiar faces each time you go in. When they have a special they are generally just as cheap as the big chains, and sometimes even cheaper. I've even been in the queue and someone ahead of me hasn't had enough money and was told not to worry, take the goods and pop in tomorrow with the balance!
Can be pricy on general items and range is limited.

All i all it's not a bad shop but just a bit overpriced. Good in the fact that it is open when all the other shops are shut. ONly go there when you need something urgently when all the other shops are shut.
It is reliable and open 7 days a week. It is nice and handy and is promoted really well for families to shop there. The staff are really nice and help you out whne you looklost in the isle.
The prices they have in our local store are horrendous. I only use this shop when he world is about to explode and I need that kg of flour!

I love Foodworks simply because it is as close to the old corner grocery as one can get. Personal attention, jobs for the younger set, community, and convenience. Given my local options I cannot do my weekly shopping there, but it is my first choice for the stockups required mid-week.
Friendly, Homey
Cannot compete on price, limited stock

I love that these are community involved stores, with our local foodworks supporting the kids soccer teams. They have most of what coles and woolies has to offer (with out the home brands of course). After my weekly shop at coles or woolies i always make the effort to go to foodworks especially for my cold meats. I wont buy them anywhere else. They have the freshest coldmeats and antipasto selecetion. They have everything you could imagine. And it's all cut right there in front of you, the smell is amazing feels like you're in the mediterranean somehwere.
Small friendly stores with happy staff
Not big enough yet to compete with the prices at coles and woolies

Go here for better and more friendly service than the major 2 supermarkets.
Support your local community and shop here.
This is a good alternative to the big 2 of Safeway, Coles. Remember, if the independants go under and leave only the big 2, prices are sure to rise quickly.
Convenient and close to home, great fresh produce, different lines and brands in comparison to the big 2. Love their deli section it always seems to have cheaper and fresher products compared to the big 2, staff always friendly and helpful, supporting the local community
some products not as cheap in comparison to the big 2

the staff at my local foodworks are very friendly not like some of the larger chains can be, my local store is a little cluttered and some of the prices on meat and fruit/veg can be quite high and is actually cheaper to go into town
convenient close to my house saves me the 15 minute drive to safeway and coles
some of the items can be a bit expensive
