Greylees Convenience Store, in Grantham Road, has secured a place in the list, unveiled last week by the Independent Achievers Academy (IAA).

Selection of the top 100 follows a rigorous mystery shopping programme across the UK using the IAA benchmarks that measure – in its words – “the simple things that retailers can do to provide excellent service to shoppers”.

“We are very lucky to have them,” he said.
