Argos' has two stores in central Rochdale, one being here inside the Wheatsheaf and the other in the Centre Retail Park, which is on Richard Street.
This Argos is quite a nice store, it is a good size for a small town like Rochdale, and they is no obvious flaws in the design, and it is pretty much typical Argos, although slightly more modern than my local Middleton store.
The store its-self is pretty nice, although not as cool and nice as the fully electronic Manchester Fort one, and probably still slightly lacking on the store in the Central Retail Park, it still is quite a pretty average Argos.
I was in and out within minutes, and although it was quiet, service seemed to a good standard, although my server seemed to be rushing slightly too the point where they didn't take my email address for an e-receipt (however she didn't spell my name wrong, like they mostly do!), she did offer to mark it as a return and do it again, but this seemed too much of a hassle for such a simple mistake.
One of the major problems with the store, is the location, It is in the Wheatsheaf centre which is simply a quiet, small shopping centre in central Rochdale, where they simply isn't a lot to look at or do, with many stores closing down now, and others just being smaller businesses. They are also on the 2nd floor of the Wheatsheaf which means it can be a hassle to get in the store too.
Overall, this is an average Argos store, and I would have liked to have given 3 stars however due to the inconvenient location I feel I can only give 2 stars, and if it wouldn't have been for the speedy service, it sadly would have been a one, so I will be closely monitoring this store in the near future, so hopefully I can give it a more favourable review and hopefully not have to downgrade. read more
