Wilkinson

This Wilkinsons is HUGE. I don’t know if there is anything you couldn’t find in there! (Eventually!)
This branch has a massive homewares section. Everything from cleaning materials to setting up your first home, you name it they have it. From cushions, pillows, throws, toasters, kettles to the everyday things like sponges, dusters, washing up liquid and even food items!
Large kids toys /​crafting /​businessy area too, with masses of games, paper, card, stickers, notebooks, bubble wrap, padded envelopes, normal envelopes, protactors, rulers, pens pencils
Bargains galore to be had here!

With recent news that Woolworths is going into administration I’m glad we have a nice big Wilkinsons in the City centre.
I think Wilskinsons is what Woolworths used to be like in the good old days. They manage to stock a wide range of useful items, and this shop is very well laid out.
The staff are sometimes a bit distracted, but overall I normally get through my shopping fairly quickly.
The only think that really annoys me about this shop is that there are displays/​podiums/​bins at intervals along the central aisle and they really hold up the the throng of customers moving through the shop.

This is quite a big store selling all sorts of things. There’s toiletries and medicines, pet food, kitchenware, clothing, furniture, food, stationary, art and craft stuff, computer supplies, paint, DIY stuff, batteries and things like bike lights, furnishings including lamps, rugs, bathroom kit and a whole lot more. Seasonally they have decorations, plants, garden furniture, electrical like kettles and toaster and all sorts.
I recently purchased a great set of bike lights for about a tenner. I’d say their prices are very competitive.
The shop is well laid out and it’s always really busy. There are tills at the front and back entrances. you do have to queue up but normally they serve you quickly.
Customer services can be a bit hit and miss but overall a useful shop in the city centre.
