The layout is somewhat different to other Woolworths around Johannesburg. Yet as per usual you can expect incredibly friendly staff, delicious freshly baked goods, easy to prepare meals and more!

Not a bad selection, has some lovely specials throughout the week. The in house pastries leave a lot to be desired. Queues during the week are normally quite long as I feel that the tills are understaffed. The barista at the entrance is wonderful however as it also allows shoppers who have less than 5 items an easy way to pay for goods while grabbing a good coffee.

With the extension of the center and added parking the store is now even easier to visit. If you get there a bit late in the evening several popular items may at times be sold out. The queues even if they seem long, move quickly. Good wine selection for a smaller store.

Well stocked, brilliant food, good service. The staff amd company do proud of themselves. The shop has an extra glam factor on account of its upper end, immaculately dressed, clientelle who never seem short of cash.But the shop like some other Woolies Food sites always feels soulless on account of its warehouse design and repetitive consistency.Still their icecream and many other products are worth the price.

Lots of coffee shops, bakerys, shopping places, few fashion stores. On the top a nice pizza place, Chinese restaurant, and a gym.Kids store, a clinic and a big parking lot.Good place!

Very convenient with pretty much all one would need for 1 stop shopping. Only downside would be a shortage of parking. Definite thumbs up.

Review №32

Avoid during peak hours when the queues are long and service is very slow. Its a nice centre and parking is free. The woollies is OK during quieter times, but has fewer choices compared to the bigger woollies.

I used to frequent it a lot in the past when it was so small as I was leaving not far from there unlike now. The shop was revamped and is now much bigger than it was in the past. I have always loved it when it was small and I still do now that its bigger although I now get lost looking for items😂

I was at the till point and when I was taking out the items from the trolley, a bottle of calamata olives fell and broke.I offered to pay for it right away.The cashier was super friendly and reassured me that I need not to worry as their policy does not expect the customer to pay for breaking an item by mistake.Big ups for this kind of serviceI love Woolies

Good variety of foods, theres parking, its easy to access and suitable for an in/out shopping experience. Its in a small center which ups its safety points.

Not much lighting in the evening. Awkward parking arrangement. Convenient Woolies but shelves poorly stocked. Not my destination of choice.

Review №44

It is a carefully run Woolworths outlet. I find the staff very helpful and well trained. BLUEBIRD CENTRE is a popular convenience centre,especially as parking is free. DISKEM owns the centre and BROLL manages it.

Its open till late, so it make its easier to rush through to buy dinner before heading home.

Review №52

Well stocked and conveniently open till 8pm. Only did not the bread I was looking for once. Open air parking is sometimes a test of patience, rather use basement or the new parking under the new Checkers.

The small julienne carrots are always frozen. The fridge is too cold in the area that the small packets of veggies are kept.Stock management is, at times, not up to scratch.Shortages of some staples are not uncommon here.Otherwise, great customer facing staff, neat and clean store and the expected high quality.

Review №69

Definitely the worst Woolworths I’ve ever stepped into. The staff were very unprofessional, unhelpful, and lacking. The long queues are quite ridiculous for the early hours of a Sunday morning. It’s a pity because the Blu Bird centre is very lovely. I will never shop here again.

Review №97

Well looked after, safety and clean.It is also situated in the small suburb of Birnam next to Checkers which made it easier to gather/include everything in your groceries. And then there is a Melrose Arch nearby over the road in Athol and Whiteley road.I used to call this as UNITED KINGDOM IN MZANSI.OH WHAT A LEKKE PLACE TO CHILL WITH YOUR LOVED ONCE,MELROSE ARCH.
