Primark Stores

Must admit I am not a fan of Primark, that is because it is always busy, long queues, resembles a jumble sale with clothes all over the place. The tills need to show what tills they are, no point stating till 9 is free if you cannot see which is till 9. However I did buy agreat Birthday present for a friend, great price too.

This store is one of many computer game shops in Portsmouth. It is part of a chain and therefore can offer better deals than the independent game shops. However compared to buying computer games off the internet this store is highly overpriced. Although my boyfriend regularly looks in the store to see what games have just been released he will generally buy them from the internet because they can be up to £10 cheaper. Game is very popular though and in the Christmas sales the queue was massive, so they must be doing something right. The shop sells games for all the main consoles such as Playstation 3, Wii and Xbox 360, and they do have a wide range. They also sell some second hand games although the price of these is often similar to that which you could get the game for brand new online.

This is an absolutely massive store. We went in half term and as usual all the merchandise was on the floor (blame customers — not staff who seem to spend all their time trying to put it back on shelves at the end of the day). Loads of stock. Great choices. Although all tills open the queues were massive and you needed to be really patient. Lots of noisy kids around — choose your time of shopping carefully — probably first thing in morning when clothes still on shelves is best!

I pick up socks and shoes in Primark as they’re so cheap I don’t mind replacing them if they wear out a bit quicker than something from a dearer shop. their towels and bed sheets are OK too. Would rate them higher (as they are good value) but the shop is huge, and it’s always a mess. It’s always really busy but they need to keep it tidier.
