Kingsway Retail Park

Rochdale has a large amount of small retail parks with just a few stores, and this is one of them, This one in particular is on Kingsway.
The Kingsway retail park is home to: The Range, ASDA, Iceland, Bargain Buys and Sports Direct, most of these branches don’t tend to be very nice, and infact some of them either seem too cramped and small (ASDA), lacking in all areas (Bargain Buys), trying to do too much and it isn’t working (The Range), the typical jumble sale (Sports Direct)
This retail park doesn’t have much, with no main places to eat and drink, but it does mainly act as a place to go to one of these shops, rather than a place to spend a few hours, as simply this place isn’t nice enough, or big enough to spend a few hours, like you would at Manchester’s Fort or Middlebrook in Horwich for example.
Parking can sometimes be quiet tricky at Kingsway, as it can seem busy at times, even when the shops don’t seem to be, and considering that the stores are quite poor, I can’t think of any reasons why it was so busy (Unless it was the event going on at Pets at home with the owls, also in the retail park)
So overall, unless you need to go into one of these shops it really isn’t worth bothering, and as the stores are probably one of the poorer ones in the franchise, I would say to look at going to other branches when possible such as visiting the ASDA next to Currys PC World in Rochdale, or the Bargain Buys on Market Street in Manchester.
I can’t warrant any reason to give more than one star, as this isn’t a very good retail park, and the stores also are quite poor compared to other branches in their chain.
