Closest Supermarket to Me: Find Nearby Stores and Hours

Drumcondra top Yelp result: Tesco, 0.1 mi, 22 Upper Drumcondra Road, Dublin 9 · Ha’penny Bridge top Yelp results: Spar 0.3 mi (3.9 rating, 27 reviews); Tesco 0.4 mi (3.3 rating, 15 reviews) · Belfield top Yelp listing: Centra UCD listed first among 10 grocery results · Search pages reviewed: 5 Yelp search result pages covering Dublin and Cork areas

Seven data points, one pattern: distances are easy to read, while hours and facilities need a separate check.

Which supermarket is closest to me open right now?

Most people searching for the closest supermarket want one answer: is it open now. Map apps and store directories answer that question in different ways, and the gap matters when you are about to drive across town.

How do I check if a supermarket is open on a map app?

• Search by area name or your current location, then read the distance and hours on each listing.
• Use the “Open now” and “Distance” options where your map app offers them, according to gauravtiwari.org (closest-grocery guide), which describes both on Google Maps.
• Read the hours on the store’s listing rather than relying on the open-now badge alone.

What do Yelp listings show for nearby grocery stores?

• In the five Yelp search pages reviewed for this guide, the Ha’penny Bridge results listed Spar at 0.3 mi (3.9 rating, 27 reviews) and Tesco at 0.4 mi (3.3 rating, 15 reviews).
• The Drumcondra search put Tesco first at 22 Upper Drumcondra Road, Dublin 9, 0.1 mi away.
• Each distance is measured from the search location shown on the page, not from your live position.

The catch: an open-now label reflects whatever hours the map holds, and that data can lag behind a branch that has changed its hours.

Is there a Lidl near Drumcondra?

The Drumcondra search reviewed for this guide returns Tesco as its main result, and the evidence gathered here does not name a Lidl in that area.

Which other supermarkets are listed in Drumcondra?

• The main result is Tesco at 22 Upper Drumcondra Road, Dublin 9, 0.1 mi from the search point.
• One Yelp reviewer described that Tesco as the only supermarket in Drumcondra and rated it only ok.

Which Lidl results appear in Cork’s Farranree search?

• Yelp’s Farranree, Cork grocery search lists Lidl first among grocery results.
• That result covers Cork, so it does not confirm a Lidl in Drumcondra, Dublin.

The implication: a brand search returns the listings for the area you typed, so treat a brand name as a lead and confirm the branch on its own store finder.

How do I find the closest supermarket on my phone?

The phone method takes five steps, and the last two decide whether the trip is worth making.

1. Turn on location, or type a full postcode or town, as the Morrisons (official store finder) does by asking for a postcode or town.
2. Search for “supermarket” or the brand name, then sort by distance where that option appears.
3. Open each listing and check today’s hours, plus the counter or service you need, since these can close earlier than the store.
4. Compare two or three listings, and check the route rather than the straight-line distance.
5. Weigh more than distance: NYK Magazine (UK lifestyle guide) advises comparing opening hours, product range, reviews, parking and online ordering.

How do I use Yelp to compare nearby grocery stores?

• Type an area name and Yelp returns nearby grocery listings with distances, as the five reviewed search pages show.
• Each listing shows star ratings and review counts, such as Spar at 3.9 from 27 reviews in the Ha’penny Bridge results.

How can I tell whether a listed distance is recent?

• Rerun the search if your location has changed, because each listed distance reflects the search point on that page.
• Holiday hours can differ from normal hours, and gauravtiwari.org (closest-grocery guide) recommends checking a chain’s official store locator for them.

What this means: a phone search produces a shortlist, and the store’s own hours settle whether the trip is worth making.

Confirmed facts and open questions

The pattern: the confirmed list covers where stores sit, while the open questions cover when they are open, which is the question you actually asked.

What the sources say

Open-now status is local. Use your current time to narrow the search, then verify the exact address because nearby locations in the same chain can keep different hours.

CalendarHours (store-hours directory)

For current opening hours, check the specific store on Google Maps or the store’s website.

FindNearCity (map directory)

Enter a postcode or town below to search for your nearest store and find its opening times.

Morrisons (official store finder)

For a shopper with a car and a closing time in mind, the choice is clear: confirm the branch’s hours on the retailer’s own finder before you drive, or accept that a map pin shows where a store is, not whether its doors are open.
