MNG Newsagent

There seems to be a real abundance of newsagents, convenience stores and off licences along Boldmere High Street, but this one stood out to me in particular. Upon entry, the place opens up like a Tardis, revealing a lengthy, spacious hallway. MNG seems to stock a variety of products which are seldom seen in Boldmere’s other, similar stores. The far end of the room is home to a vast selection of stationary, photo frames and wrapping paper, and the store’s magazine selection is overwhelming, with several, rare specialist numbers on sale and a very wide range of newspapers.
Sadly, not everything within the store is exactly top-​notch. The floor and shelves seem grimy and unclean and on my recent visit to buy a few household essentials, the girl behind the counter seemed grumpy and didn’t crack a smile once throughout our conversation. MNG deserves credit for its impressive stock and deceptively spacious interior, but in reality, there are much friendlier, cleaner convenience stores in Boldmere which offer a far more pleasant shopping experience.
