Alternative Stores provide vegans with a superstore. You walk in knowing that everything is vegan-friendly and eco-friendly.

Dan John & Zahra are a lovely father-daughter duo with a lifetime of lived experience as vegans; they know what they are talking about.

No more awkward conversations with shop assistants, explaining what 'vegan' is.

No more waiting with a product in your hand whilst you look up whether or not it is vegan.

You can trust that anything in stock does not come from livestock!

You can get anything from cleaning products to consumables. They also stock vegan footwear - including hiking boots, work shoes and trainers.

There is an excellent selection of groceries.

If you don't need any of the typical essentials, they have a substantial collection of treats. Their variety of chocolates is terrific. There is something for everyone here. You have a plethora of choice.

There is also a discount section which we frequently find useful. It is always a pleasant place to peruse.

If you are vegan and/or have special dietary requirements, Alternative Stores have everything you need when you want to 'pop to the shop'.

Pros: 100% Vegan, Great Choice, Friendly Staff

Recently bought a pair of vegan women's shoes - my first time buying from AS. Helpful assistance given when chasing up a slight confusion with the Royal Mail delivery. Lovely shoes, perfect fit, great quality !

Amazing selection with unique products you wouldn't find elsewhere. It definitely can be more expensive than other places however it's a family run business with a lot of unique products.

Amazing range of vegan goods. Family run business. Also soaps, cleaning products, pet foods/treats etc. So nice not having to read the labels on everything!

First rate service from this lovely store. I'm not local so order online. I ordered a range of food at the weekend and received my order today, carefully and securely packed. I've ordered a range of things over the last couple of years and have never been disappointed.

Fantastic selection, nice friendly staff and the Mag-pies are really really good. My favourite is the chicken Balti. The pastry is lovely and they are packed full with tasty filling. Will certainly be buying again.

Very friendly and helpful when I ordered online, thanks! Will be back, as dehydrated soya pieces are so hard to find

This vegan store is just amazing!

Such a massive range of plant-based foods, many of which you can't seem to find anywhere else. The owners Dan & Zahra are so helpful and i'm very thankful to have this shop so close by!

Great vegan food and also vegan friendly shoes!!

Managed to visit this wonderful shop on the 1/6/19 it is like a Aladins cave for vegans.
I bought some new trainers which are brilliant although the size states 3 and I'm a 3.5.
Stocked up with a few favourites like smoked tyne chease.
I wish I lived closer I would be in this shop every week.
The young lady who served me is brilliant very knowledgeable.

Great vegan store! So good to have a proper vegan store in our area. They have a huge, growing range of everything you could possibly be looking for. Lots of fresh and frozen foods (from all sorts of cheezes including the lovely artisan Tyne Cheezes, to classic and fancy tofus, mayos, naturli block and spreadable, sour cream.. Just to name a few) Of course you find the classics like nooch, spreads and vital gluten as, well as pulses, nuts and flakes. Huge selection of sweets and chocolates. Probably the biggest selection I came across in a single vegan store. A real gem with lovely knowledgeable pple who are running the store as a family business. Parking free and easy in front of the shop. Ordering online works fine as well, if you don't live close or can't get there in person. Their online shop had a refresh and works great since. (and you can pay with PayPal now as well)

Amazing to have an entirely vegan supermarket with a huge range of cheeses /sausages/pizza/ice cream etc as well as the basics-and shoes! Also you can refill your shampoo /washing up liquid etc and nutritional yeast! 😊

I travel miles to come spend my cash here. It's a great little store tucked away in an industrial estate. Bit pricey but the vegan cheese is great value.

Great store lots of choice many varieties of vegan cheese, ice cream, pizza... Brilliant tasting days so you can try before you buy too

For a relatively small shop it is chock full of vegan goodies. Well worth a visit.....and bring your credit card... you'll want to buy heaps of stuff

Best place around for newbie vegans been forever vegans curious vegans and those who just want to eat less meat..loads of good stuff..

Great vegan shop, so much variety and staff are really friendly.

Love this store! My kids never have to go without as there's so much choice of alternative cruelty free food 10 stars ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆👌

Highly recommended. The shoes I bought are good-looking, very comfortable and at a great price; and customer service is excellent.

Great range of vegan food, personal care products and shoes. Very helpful and friendly staff.
