Sainsburys Pharmacy

Probably the best J Sainsbury out of all the Sainsburys stores I have visited over the years. I was a security manager for many years and I was responsible for the setting up and maintaining the security departments with the company.
The store at Knotty ash is very clean and tidy. Many of the staff have been there for a long time and are very dedicated to their jobs.
The customer service is excellent.
This particular store did suffer about seven years ago from very poor moral. This was due to some very bad decisions regarding recruitment of junior management.
Sadly the company still relies heavily on the recruitment of university graduates into management position. As these graduates have very little or no communication skills this can have, and has had in the past, a detrimental effect on the store.
Hopefully the moral is better at Sainsburys Knotty ash now.
Overall a very pleasent store and the range of goods is ok. It is a welcome change to shop there rather than the poorly staffed, shabby Tesco further along Prescot road.

A decent branch of Sainsbury’s which I’ve used on quite a few occasions over the years.
It’s quite large and (like all supermarkets) they seem to have this annoying habit of switching all the aisles round from time to time — why do they do this?! But if you can navigate your way round there is a wide range of stuff available.
Like most Sainsbury’s, this is not the cheapest supermarket on the planet; but the quality of their produce is good, and in general in life you get what you pay for (or so it seems to me).
There’s plenty of parking, and the staff seem friendly and helpful (which is useful, considering how hard it can be to find things).
All in all this is not a bad supermarket at all.

Good as pharmacies go, got everything you need or want. Helpful, proffessional staff and nice prices. If you want to get petrol from Sainsburys garage on your way out, be prepared to queue — i’ve never seen it not busy!
