Reviews of Woodie's Headford Road (Galway)
Martin Cunningham
Got some lovely flower plants and a very nice lady at the check out
Martina Caironi
Very well furnished, but I found the rudest staff ever, she could use some manners and less attitude.

Woodies headford road is a fantastic place to go with many different diy products, such as paint, lighting, tools and wood. But often when I go to woodies I’ve got wood already. It’s that good.

Not all of the store attendants are nice here. I was there first thing in the morning last week and this woman in the till was on the phone for quite long and when she finished talking to the phone, she wasn't even said something that she may cause some delay of me as a customer. She just "grabbed" my item that I bought and acting like nothing happened. Customer service at stake.

The staff in this Woodies are so helpful it was a pleasure to shop here. Snd the value here is unreal compared to B&Q, got a fantastic lamp for €40, similar in B&Q was over €100. Will start going here as a default in the future
