Primark is one of those stores that polarises opinion. To some people it's a treasure trove of…read moreaffordable fashion, to others it's a conglomerate getting rich by exploiting workers in the third world. If you do choose to venture into this store you'll find two large floors with ladieswear downstairs and mens and childrens upstairs. You may pick up some bargains, especially if you're small because it can be difficult to find items in larger sizes. It helps to be no bigger than a size 14 if you're a lady or a medium if you're a chap. The sale rails are usually worth a look and I quite often pick up bargains for the kids. Why pay more than one or two quid for a pair jeans that will either be destroyed in no time or otherwise grown out of? It's a bit more difficult to find things for myself, being the wrong side of medium!

Last time I was in there I got to the till and decided I wanted the a different size. To my amazement the cashier kindly offered to go and get the items I wanted. I found a manager on the way out and gave positive feedback on my visit. I shop in a range of shops in the town and in some of the more up market stores you don't get a service as good as what the Primark staff provide. They are always friendly and if you can't find your size they offer to go off to the stock room to look for the size you require. The shop I find is always neat & tidy. Well done Primark staff keep up the good work! Some customers complain of exploitation of workers in third world countries yet a majority of them will still shop in Primark, just saying. I will add that the quality has not always been great but for the price who can complain? However, quality is improving. Sizes and fit are hit & miss but find another clothes shop where this doesn't happen.

Debenhams Browns of Chester is the only Debenhams store to retain its' original branding, Browns of…read moreChester. It has been owned by Debenhams since 1976, yet the store is fairly old being founded in 1780, while it doesn't seem to compare to the older department stores in London, it still is a fairly nice branch, you can enter the store through street-level or through the Grosvenor Shopping Centre. The store is pretty old and you can tell that through shopping inside, they have random sets of steps and ramps all over, so it isn't just one straight/flat level, so do be careful where you're walking to avoid tripping. They had a huge clearance sale on my visit, due to Debenhams' facing difficulties and having to close many of their stores, including this one, I still found many of their prices to be high even after the discount, I found the promotional offers to be inconsistent and it was hard to tell what item costs what as each part of the store/product range would have a different % off. The store did seem a little messy, but it did have some good products overall and it is nice to see they haven't ignored the history, it's a shame to see this store earmarked for closure as although it isn't perfect, it is and remains a nice addition to the town centre. 3*

This place really is fantastic for womens clothes - like debenhams it has all the usual brands such as Jane Norman and Oasis, and it has a great underwear section with huge variety of pretty knickers.

Of course these come with a higher price tag that the high street stuff that can be found there but this is where I would come to look for something to wear for a special occasion.

They sell a really good range of underclothes, jumpers, cardigans, skirts, trousers, coats, accessories and they also have a homeware section. The home section has some good items - bedding, ornaments, towels etc. Everything is good quality but not too expensive. There are also often offers on various things - like 20% off for example. They also have discount evenings if you are registered with them - where you get 20% off everything being a cardholder. There is also a cafe - which serves a good selection of meals and snacks. The food is nice but a bit pricey. The cafe itself is nice and kept clean.

There's a couple of New Look stores in Chester so if you don't find what you want in one, I would…read moretry the other. I'd also recommend their online website as they've started to sell their teen clothes on their now too. This particular shop is really well spaced out and has some really good value products, but there's two issues I have with it. They seem to like moving it about quite often, which may be good for the company for their customer to trapse around the whole seeing all their goods, but wandering aimlessly around looking for the ever moving teen section is a tad annoying when you're in a rush, also the teen section isn't very big and I'm quite surprised since young people aged and upwards love New Look and I would have thought that they would cater for the market if they have a big youth following. My daughter still loves it and still manages to find something, even if they do have a limited teen section, but if you're wanting more for that age group I would try online. The location of this particular outlet probably gives it cause for more than one in Chester as although it's along the main high street as such, it's past the big shops like Boots and BHS etc and it's only if you walk that far will you find it as unless you're on your way to Argos or the train station you may not know that it's there. It always has plenty of customers though so I'm guessing it's able to rely on their faithful following regardless of its less advantageous position.

The shop itself is a fair size and the staff are always really helpful, I sometimes shop online too if there's something I'm after and they don't have my size in, but the staff do their best to try and accomodate you in store, but their website is great too. It's in a reasonable location in the precinct just across the way from a little cafe area which is handy for a little rest. It does get quite busy but the staff never seem flustered or too nusy to help if they possibly can.
