About FreshChoice City Market

A downtown grocery store on Lichfield Street in the Christchurch Central City, set right across from the Lichfield Bus Interchange, so it is easy to reach from the street. It works as a city grocer more than a full weekly shop. Shoppers praise the deli and the wine selection, and mention the chocolate range and the snacks and sandwiches they bought to take back to a hotel. The fresh fruit, vegetables and bakery items make up the core of the store, and the layout is described as decent. The self checkouts are also mentioned. Sandwiches tend to run out by the evening. One shopper had a bad experience with the manager after tasting pistachio nuts before buying them, and felt the response was rude and condescending. The store sells meat and chicken from named producers, including Ingham's, Bird & Barrow and Macro free range chicken, and a Beak & Sons beef and ale casserole. Locally, four other supermarkets are within a kilometre. Woolworths Moorhouse Avenue, 0.6 km away, is rated lower than this store, from far more reviews. Our pick in the city centre for a deli lunch or a bottle of wine on the way to the bus.
