The New Sheriff of Convenience Stores in St Austell: Meet Paul!

Alright, St Austell, gather ’round! If you haven’t already felt the buzz, let us introduce you to the new local legend making waves at Par Market – Paul , the new face of Discount Foods in Par Market. He’s a bit of a modern-day mix between a vicar and Del Boy—minus the collar and the three-wheeled van, but full of blessings and bargains. This man is like a human dynamo on espresso, and he’s taken over Discount Foods, one of the top convenience stores in St Austell, with the energy of a Cornish storm. Since he’s come in, it’s no longer just your typical pop-in-for-a-tin-of-peas shop – it’s become the talk of the town with his deals, his banter, and his mission to bring the community together. I was in there the other day and someone threw a jar of mayonnaise at me-I was like "what the Hellman".




The Great Discount Foods Shake-Up

Since Paul arrived, he’s taken the store and cranked it up a notch. The first thing he did? Wave goodbye to those narrow aisles that made you feel like you were squeezing through a Cornish pasty press. He’s opened up the whole place, making it bright, airy, and spacious – a shopping experience so smooth you’ll feel like you’re gliding through a ballroom, not a convenience store.

Now, instead of playing hide-and-seek with the bargains, you can spot them from a mile away. With all that extra room, Paul’s packed the place with even more deals, each one better than the last. Whether you're nipping in for a tin of beans or planning to fill your basket, the new setup makes everything easier.



Paul: The Man, The Myth, The Machine

Now, let’s talk about Paul himself. You’ll spot him right away – probably because you’ll hear him before you see him. With a voice that could carry across Carlyon Bay and an infectious laugh that could crack a smile on even the grumpiest of locals, Paul’s the heart and soul of the shop. He’s always cracking jokes and sharing stories faster than Trigger can misplace his broom.

Oh, and if you ever spot him rubbing his eyes, it’s not because he’s tired – it’s from the time he got some tomato sauce in them. “It gave him Heinz-sight,”


What Sets Discount Foods Apart from Other Convenience Stores in St Austell

Paul’s not just a savvy shopkeeper – he’s got the experience to back it up. Before taking over Discount Foods, he was a Senior Security and Retail Consultant. So, not only does he know how to run a shop, but he’s also the guy you’d want if you ever needed to lock it down tight. But more than that, Paul’s vision isn’t just about turning a profit – he’s about bringing the community together. That’s why Discount Foods, one of the most beloved convenience stores in St Austell, is constantly stocked with new lines and affordable brands.

Paul’s mission is simple: make sure that everyone, from families to pensioners, can still get affordable brands without breaking the bank.



Affordable Brands and Special Offers: A Staple of Convenience Stores in St Austell

Discount Foods stands out from other convenience stores in St Austell with its ever-growing selection of products at everyday prices. You’ll find all your essentials, from toiletries and cleaning supplies to canned goods and snacks – and all with a cheeky discount, courtesy of Paul’s eagle-eyed bargain-hunting.

Need a fresh set of tea towels? You’ll find a deal on those, too. “Who knew tea towels could be so thrilling?” Paul says with a wink. “Honestly, they mop up more than just your spills – they’ll mop up your regret if you don’t grab them on sale!”



The Infamous Toilet Paper Deal

And then there’s the toilet paper. Oh boy, if you haven’t heard about Paul’s famous loo roll deal, you’re missing out! He’s stacked enough of the stuff to keep the whole of St Austell going for years. "If the world ever runs out again, we’ll be ready!" And at the prices he’s offering, you’ll wonder if you’ve mistakenly wandered into a wholesale warehouse.



Bringing Back That Community Feel

Here’s the thing about Paul – his mission is clear: he’s all about community. While some shops focus on profits, Paul’s always looking for ways to give back to St Austell. He’s deeply rooted here, and he knows that the heart of the town is in its people. He’s constantly saying, “We’re not Asda – we can’t always beat them on price – but we can give you an experience and deals you won’t find anywhere else!” And he means it.

Every time you step through those doors, you’re not just getting a bargain – you’re getting a laugh, a chat, and the feeling that Paul genuinely cares about keeping the locals looked after.


Exciting News: New Ice Cream Parlor Coming Soon!

Now, this is where things get even sweeter – literally. Paul’s got big plans on the horizon, including a brand-new ice cream parlor. That’s right! Soon, you’ll be able to pop in for your groceries and leave with a delicious, scoop of ice cream. He’s promised it’ll have flavours you’ve never even heard of, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s already working on a deal where you get a free scoop with every bulk pack of toilet paper. Only Paul could pull off something like that!


A Proper St Austell Shopping Experience

It’s not just about what Paul’s selling, either. Par Market itself is buzzing with other local legends, making it a great day out for the whole community. After you’ve filled your bag at Discount Foods, head over to the butcher’s for a cut of meat that’ll make your Sunday roast sing. Grab some fresh veggies from the greengrocer, and don’t forget to swing by the bakery for a pasty or two. The smell alone will have you floating toward the counter like one of those cartoon characters on a wafting cloud of scent.

Need something from the sea? The fishmonger’s just a stone’s throw away. Grab the catch of the day, and while you’re at it, Paul might just crack a joke about slippery customers.



Opening Hours: Come Get Your Bargains, St Austell!

Discount Foods is open every Wednesday to Sunday, from 9 AM to 5 PM. That’s five days a week where you can pop in, have a laugh, and walk out with bags full of bargains. Whether you’re planning a big shop or just fancy a natter with Paul, he’ll be there, ready to brighten your day and lighten your wallet (but only by a bit – because the deals are just that good).
