There is a Waitrose nearby - I guess that is your usual sort of place
There is also an Aldi - but nothing in between really (you're more likely to see @chopps in here) also a B & M
If you want a Tesco or a Morrisons Crewe would be your best bet
Sandbach village itself has a market on a Thursday with an excellent fishmongers and several decent butchers. I could also recommend a great chippy!
See you tomorrow
@Rodcx500z The little town centre is worth a look around for you both, or somewhere for your wife to have a wander while you talk about malt and hops. Waitrose is, well... Waitrose, but there's a fantastic little delicatessen called Godfrey Williams on the cobbled square that I really like. If you like a bit of history there are some Saxon crosses to have a look at outside.
A few little boutiquey clothes shops, Chatwins Bakery (get the Savoury Rolls) and as OB said an Aldi and a B&M (for Sodium Percarbonate and not much else).
The Old Hall is a nice place for some lunch. Rich history here and apparently haunted.

A lot of listed buildings and architecture if that floats your boat. Listed buildings in Sandbach - Wikipedia
George Gilbert Scott designed a lot of it including the school and literary institute. On that cobbled square is a pub built in 1634 that @Obadiah Boondoggle went to the opening of as a small boy.
The main car park 'Scotch Common' is a market once a week, which is a shame as it's where in 1651 he villagers of Sandbach came across the tired and war weary Scottish army returning from battle in Worcester and murdered them all with pitchforks. Not much has changed, except they use Massey Fergusons and Range Rovers to drive out unwanted guests these days.
It's all walkable.
Best Regards,
Sandbach Tourist Board.

Knowing where you live - you didn't work for Waterfields by any chance?Thanks Andrew looks like i am in for a good afternoon, i know of Chatwins they used to visit the bakery were i worked for 30 years, i will bring my camera to take a pick of Kens bins
Yes Ken you are spot on ARW or Mr Richard the chairman was very friendly with Chatwins , Richard is a great bloke he trained in France and was a proper baker he would come in early doors roll his sleeves up and get stuck in happy days, how did you work that out Ken
Well Rod
We lived in Wigan for many years - and, of course, the biggest/only bakery where you are is Waterfields
Also I worked as a management consultant for many years and Waterfields were a client at one time - I worked with Albert, Richard and John
Did you know Trevor from Chatwins Rod?
Hi Chopps no i didn't
Hi Ken Albert was the the main man there, what was your role with them, also did you meet Tony Robinson and Mike Rowlands or Simon Odie and Barry Edgerton
