Matalan

Very big shop, everythings spaced out well so there’s no crowding and having to put up with being pressed up against strangers, clothing range is basic, good for older women 30+.

very large store so usually ends in ques on the car park just to get in, the store itself has some good things however can be messy at times with clothes on the floor and all over th place .
the staff arent the nicest and dont speak while serving but its a good place to go if you have patience

The quality and the cost of the clothes at Matalan keep me coming back here time after time. They have a fabulous range of seasonal decorations in the homeware section year after year, be in Christmas or Halloween. I particularly like their range of accessories and nightwear, which I resent paying a high price for other department stores such as Debenhams. I have been shopping at Matalan for many years now and intend to keep doing so, as their service and products just keep on improving.

The first time I visited Matalan it was a revelation. It was the first time I realised that I didn’t have to be paying over the odds for the kind of clothes I like to wear, in essence, simple and comfy. Now whenever I need a new jumper or pair of jeans this is the first place I come to. They have a great homeware section as well, especially when it comes to photo frames, in fact I once nearly kitted out my entire flat just from one visit to the store! Althought you need a card to shop, it’s well worth the five minute application to access the good value products on offer.

I like these shops they are a little bit like primark but seem to be have a better quality about them and the shop is laid out a lot better. There is no fighting to find what you are looking for everything is very easy to access and you are able to try on anything in the changing rooms. You can get a wide range of clothes for women, men and children alike. They also seem to have a fast turn over too. I love looking at the home ware and Kitchen paraphernalia, anything from cooking utensils and pots and pans to bedding and towelsThey have quite a good gifts section especially at Christmas time and they usually have a good selection of candles, holders and vases. They have a good returns system too, which is great if you don’t have time to try things on.

Not my favourite place, can be chaotic at times. Although they do have some good homewheres I am not that keen on the clothing. Good for inexpensive children’s wear though. The carpark is not good at weekends, very busy and you have to queue for ages to get on.
