Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent range of organic products to buy, many in non-plastic packaging. They are friendly and helpful.

A big disappointment

I shop here weekly on different days, and on my last 3 visits the shelves have been practically empty. I want to support this business but this is really frustrating. I shouldn't have to rely on pre-ordering to be sure of everyday products.
I end up having to shop elsewhere. What's gone wrong?

Thanks for your review and I'm sorry we have not had the products you want. I don't think the shelves have been practically empty though I understand it may appear so if we don;t have what you want. Can you email me on wholefoodcoop@gmail.com with the products you have been unable to get and I will look into this for you.
I can say that we have problems getting a number of products from suppliers in recent months which of course has been frustrating for us too.

My favourite supermarket.

Ordered some more sweets for the kids now that the summer holidays are here and they love them! I buy a lot of food for my big family, it’s nice I don’t have to worry about delivery costs. Always look forward to my shopping with them.

Keep the Co-op going

I am very pleased to have Leicester Wholefoods in the city. I do some times struggle with how expensive it is. I understand that this is a result of The Co-op's high ethical values. However, as a part time worker, I can't always afford to shop there and at times I do choose to go to other suppliers.

Thanks for your review Kelly.
Some of the products we sell are by their nature expensive though we do try to remain competitive on a like for like basis.
If you email us on wholefoodcoop@gmail.com I will reply with a few tips on saving money on goods. Paul

A total gem of a shop.

We now live out in the sticks, but Paul never fails with his trusty free delivery on orders over £30.

Congratulations on Leicester Wholefoods 30th birthday. May there be many, many more.

Long standing and thankful customer

I feel really lucky to have such an excellent local shop, a refreshing amalgam of high quality, wide range, honestly priced foods with helpful staff and free delivery on orders over £30. You can ask them to order you products they don't usually stock and have discounts for bulk purchases.

Long standing customer.

I have used Leicester Wholefoods since they opened both as an ordinary customer and as the organiser of a buying group. They will go out of their way to get exactly what I need and I have always been very satisfied with their service. It's a pleasure to go there.

Not a regular customer.

Shop occasionally for things I can't get elsewhere, good service.

Great company, lots of gluten free stuff, nice people

Ace place. Have shopped there many times over the last few years. I go in for big vege and gluten free hauls. Reasonable prices and decent range. I have ordered online too. Def recommended 😀

Great company

I have been a customer of Leicester Wholefood Co-op for years. I rely on them for the full range of organic produce I like. Sometimes the shelves are a bit empty but the staff are always very helpful.

Thanks very much for your review Helen.
We know it is frustrating when stuff you want has sold out occasionally. It's a constant challenge to balance stock rotation and availability.
For goods you really need, it's well worth ordering in advance online for collection later. We can then keep stuff aside for you or advise when the goods will be available. Everything we stock can be found on our website. www.wholefoodcoop.co.uk.

Excellent choice of organic produce and bulk items

Leicester Wholefoods Coop has an excellent selection of quality produce and bulk foods. They are easy to communicate with, and I would recommend them without reservation.
