The first floor has potential for living accommodation, but the majority of the bedrooms are currently utilised as stock rooms, office and rest area. There is a kitchenette and WC on this floor.

Banks of upright drinks chillers, frozen food chest freezers and several aisles of convenience goods, plus a greeting cards and stationery stand and a news and magazine stand.
