...Instore

one word rubbish it is over crowed unyidy and the staff seem down in the dumps really didnt enjoy the experience of shopping here

This company is apart of the poundstretcher company and was one of the lucky stores to change its name.
They sell a variety of products including names like Ponden Mills and JML. Although this is subject to change when the stocks change for the different seasons.
I use them all the time as I like to find a cheap bargin. The staff at these stores appear over worked and stressed but will always help when they can.
The shops seem fit to bursting and stock can trip you up.
Good shop all in all though worth a nosey.

I’m not quite sure what exactly Instore shops are supposed to sell, they seem to sell a real strange mix of things ranging from tinned soup, JML cleaning products and pictures and stuff for your house. You can pick up stuff quite cheap in here but its sells such a strange mix of things I can’t recommend it for one thing in particular! I did get some quite cheapy kitten toys from here and they also sell cleaning stuff quite cheap so if you’re passing I’d say pop in just to see if they have something that catches your eye.

Instore is once of my vices. I can’t resist popping in whenever I’m at Crown Point, because it’s so cheap and there’s always a bargain to be had.
The layout is sensible, although the mezzanine level upstairs isn’t used well enough (it’s always messy and full of random items, rather than being a specific ‘department’ in itself, which would make more sense). The queues are often long too, with just one person on the tills, and the staff are never that cheery which is a shame.
Despite its faults, I still love Instore, simply because of the fact that after much hunting around for a set of mugs I got some gorgeous ones from here (they’re white china with black floral-​ish-​but-​not-​really design on them) for 50p each. Plus they sell cans of Sunkist and Vimto ridiculously cheap. And kitchen stuff. Great for things like baking trays and pyrex dishes.
