WH Smith

This WHsmith store is in the Bury Millgate Shopping Centre, it is quite near to Aleef News and next to HMV in the shopping centre.
My sole purpose, of visiting this store was mainly to visit the news papers, as you walk in they is a fridge of drinks, a checkout and more importantly, the newspapers.
I do feel for a big store like WHsmith, their range was disappointing not stocking newspapers like The Independent. One other thing which was annoying, was that this branch as well as selling Bury’s newspaper sells newspapers from Heywood, Rochdale, Bolton and probably other locations, I feel these are newspapers just for residents so they should only sell the Rochdale Advertiser in Rochdale, and just sell the Bury one here, they is no need for it.
If you are buying a newspaper, you will most likely want one from your region or city or a national one from that day, some of the regional ones were days old, I feel instead of stocking on newspapers from other local cities and some further out like Bolton, they should focus on getting a better range and more of the national newspapers like The Independent.
One thing however that I liked was the staff didn’t mind me standing their and just browsing the newspapers, I admit they could of said something as I did not end up buying the newspaper in the end — instead getting my paper from Aleef News.
I did notice a good range of annuals, which were located near the newspapers but you would expect that from a place like WHsmith.
Overall, this is not the best WHsmith store, the store manager needs to learn that selling Bolton newspapers in Bury will not work and they need to sell up to date newspapers which are from that area or nationally, and are updated daily, so for now I can only give two stars.
