In this incarnation it sold storecupboard products, loo roll, cleaning products, etc. Nothing particularly out of the ordinary, though there were a few South Indian products (parathas, vadai) in one of the freezers. The off licence selection included a few relatively interesting bottled real ales. Also sold sweets and soft drinks.
