The staff were very on the ball with assistance and Louise in particular was very lovely, helping with any queries I had.

Lovely staff! Sheyda at the No7 counter was so helpful and kind, an asset to the store

One of the largest Boots locations in the UK, it is located on Market Street, with entrances on street-level and on the upper floor of the Manchester Arndale. It is a large and modern store, and one of the largest in the Manchester Arndale. It is over three floors, downstairs you have the main part of the store with beauty/cosmetics/pharmacy and a small selection of food, on the upper floor you have the baby section as well as the Opticians, the top floor is a Health Walk-In Centre and a dentist, so the facilities here are very good compared to other Boots stores. Most of the staff in the store are helpful, including the Opticians, which is amongst the best in the city in terms of designer eyewear selection. The food and drink section is also much larger than other Boots stores, I find their beverage section to be very good, while the food section to be very minimal, including a large fridge area, they also have a machine where you can refill your water bottle for free. I do find their drinks to be expensive compared to other stores, and a lack of gluten-free snacks is disappointing. The store layout is pretty easy to follow, the store has a good feel to it. The selection of most products is pretty good, I do find the prices in some areas can be a tad expensive though, but there are still some pretty good deals. They also stock the whole Bulldog range here, which is handy as it's my favourite men's toiletries brand on the market. (I don't use five in ones anymore, Kaylee!) 4* read more

I've always really enjoyed going to Boots Opticians - they're a proper British institution and I always appreciate the excellent service they offer. I've been coming here for 8 years and they're always on it - reminders to book when it's been a year, calls when lenses are ready (or sent out directly), short waiting times and the staff always up to date with your last check-up even though they may be new. A very modern set-up, I'm on their vision plan which helps with the cost of everything they do (i.e free check-ups) - the only thing I find a bit frustrating is their selection of glasses for sale. The core range of unbranded frames all seem really lacking in style and inspiration - while the designer ones are all plastered with branding for fashion houses etc all over them. I really don't want logos and names all over my glasses or I may buy some from here - basically they need to work on their core range of inhouse frames! Overall a great opticians experience with me buying my contacts here, I do usually buy my glasses online though where the selection is much better. read more

Boots - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Manchester, XGM

Damn Boots. I wandered into their flagship Manchester store last week for a lipstick and left 15 minutes later armed with beautiful Biotherm products for my sweetheart! A massive, two storey shop at the bottom of Market Streets, Boots is a one-stop shop for health, beauty and body products. As well as aisles and aisles of toiletries and skincare, they have in-house opticians, pharmacists and private consultation rooms. The reason I usually venture there however, is for the excellent beauty counters stocking everything from Clarins, Clinique and Lancome to Benefit, Origins and Ruby & Millie. There's also a brilliant Biotherm counter - where they're currently selling incredible gift sets featuring their best selling source therapie serum. Just don't tell too many people, eh? read more

See all

The Benefit team was so sweet! Welcomed me with smiles and very helpful! Especially Jake, he really went out of his way to make sure that I was well taken care of! Not only did he help me with what I was looking for, he also taught me a bit about makeup as well as making conversation! It was such a lovely experience. Thank you Jake!! read more

There's a Waitrose in my Boots. There's a Waitrose in my Boots. There's a Waitrose in my Boots. Sorry, I'm just excited... the last time I was in the vicinity of a Waitrose I was watching the Tottenham v. Chelsea match in London (I know, I'm so hip) and it felt very highbrow. Imagine my surprise when I walked into the store from its Cross Street entrance expecting to see deodorant, toothbrushes and tampons alongside the odd Boots meal deal and gossip magazine and was instead greeted by... figs? Ready meals? Flowers? RASPBERRIES? You can't deny that Waitrose is high quality, right? It's a step up from Marks and Sainsbury's and makes this fact known with its inflated prices. But I happened to have a moment of serendipitous fabulousness, and it's my job to share it with you. Get there sometime before closing, perhaps around an hour or so. Suddenly, even if you're a penniless student, a budgeting writer (hello mirror) or between jobs, you'll find yourself being able to afford the tasty goods in here, as long as you use them fairly quickly. Why? Well, the stock here is so fresh, the use-by or display-until tends to be quite close, and if you see any sandwiches or produce with the same date on them as today, likely the man with the stickers will be marking them down considerably very shortly. Let me give you some examples. I got a generous £2.99 punnet of raspberries for 64p, 6 organic free range ethically sound eggs for 24p, four deliciously ripe figs (to be enjoyed later with a sticky balsamic sauce and some cheese) for £1.99, a tub of ricotta cheese which I'd be making into a cheesecake for around 24p also and a delicious, large tub of summer fruits compote from Yeo Valley for 99p. I was set! I've been back since at the right times and I've always managed to bag a bargain or two. So get yourself down there. I don't know whether Boots is affiliated with Waitrose or whether they just rented out the space at the back of the shop, but there's something thrilling about being able to pick up your evening meal alongside your toiletries. Not that you can't do that in the supermarket, but... well, ah... you know what I mean. Normally the toiletries aren't the central focus. Here, they are, but there's an absolute ton of groceries alongside them. And Waitrose sandwiches, for pre-packaged sweaty conveniences, are pretty darn good. In fact I'd say they're on par with Marks. And they've won awards. So, what are you waiting for?!? read more

Absolutely gargantuan Boots store. That's the best way to describe this one. As some other reviews mention is also contains a Waitrose, the first in central Manchester before the new one opened a little down the road. I'll often pop in for a meal deal whilst heading to work as the quality of food is excellent. But that's nothing compared to the choice of...well, pretty much everything else. Basically I came out two weeks ago with a new shaver, shower gel, asprin, a sandwich, a packet of condoms (not the JLS ones of course, which they do stock, much to my hilarity), a mens fragrance (a huge choice again) and if I'd have wanted to, or needed to, kids clothing, a pair of specs and a bath set. Lots of room to move around too. read more

This boots is massive!!!!!!!! Its on market street so the location is great. It has in it the usual stuff you would expect from boots plus: A waitrose - so great for some posh nosh A NHS walk in health centre! - Its well hidden so you might have to ask where it is but its there and very helpful. Its also my local doctors who is quite cool. It has access from all sorts of places and has pretty much everything in it and a large selection of it. They do a really good meal deal at boots where for £2.99 you get any sandwich/salad/pasta dish, a side (crisps, chocolate, fruit etc) and any drink from a pretty good selection. read more

Opticians........very modern store, good choice, lovely staff. Sadly, false promises, my glasses arrived nowhere near in the time promised and still haven't. You cannot get through to them on the phone, tried for 2 days solid. Strung me along for weeks......should have gone to Specsavers!!! read more

Boots, with its gloriously generous four-points-earned-for-every-pound-you-spend advantage card scheme, has certainly kept me loyal to the company. The points add up so quickly that you truly can treat yourself every couple of months or so. This particular branch is absolutely enormous and stocks everything you could possibly ever need to satisfy your cosmetic, pharmaceutical or homeopathic requirements. It contains an opticians, pharmacy and photo developing laboratory all under one roof along with the most gargantuan christmas gift selection, during the festive season, you will ever see. Their three for two offer is perfect for all those difficult to buy for mother-in-laws and aunts and allows you to treat yourself too. One of my secret tips is, if you're interested in analogue photography, to buy the bags of five thirty-six millimetre rolls of film for around seven pounds as for each film you get developed you'll earn one hundred points plus the points you'd earn anyway from the purchase of the films and the processing costs. This really helps the points to pile up! read more

I love big stores like these. More importantly, it's an open plan layout. So no funny corridors. Just like with most of the bigger boots, it's got everything. Plus it's photo printing service, family planning, pharmacy consultation as well...and the GPs are upstairs. On the ground floor, it's got 2 big checkout areas...all catering for the working peeps out there. And a pretty decent size food section as well (might as well collect points while doing the groceries huh?) read more

I adore this branch of Boots. Indeed, I'd argue that no other shop in Manchester comes close to the wide range of cosmetics, perfumes and other assorted sundries on offer here. I can very happily waste an hour or three just wandering around from make-up counter to make-up counter, trying all of the different wares, and trying (and failing most of the time) to restrain my inner teenager from spending all of my hard earned money on sparkly eyeshadows and vibrating mascaras. Pretty much every major cosmetics company has a outlet in the large, well lit, main area of the store, and they're usually heaving with knowledgable staff who are always more than happy to take the time and the effort to recommend the best product for your requirements (and skin type). It also stocks an extensive range of bodycare products, including my personal favourite - Soap and Glory. This branch of Boots also provides eyecare, dentistry and sexual health services, which is great if you work in the City Centre and are unable to escape from your office to see the doctor. All in all, this is a wonderful and well stocked branch of a much loved chainstore. read more

This boots are massive and I really like it. I specially like sale season. Most of Xmas items are reduced half price , then 75 % off I buy lots for my friend's gifts. They also have many testers for perfumes and I like the fact they have Origins . read more

This Boots is a good size with loads of choice in terms of beauty, health, and gifts. At christmas they do their three for two deals and afterward they do the 75% off deals which can save you loads of money! The staff are very nice in general and the pharmacy staff are very helpful and dont push you to buy the branded goods when own brand will do. The choice is good especially with the makeup and beauty goods and there is something for everyone in store including lots for babies and toddlers. Highly recommended. read more

For all your health and Beauty needs. Boots is a massive store in the centre of Manchester's market street. It has two floors, the first floor is for everything baby, home and photographic. The ground floor is where all of your health problems can be solved and where you can buy make up, perfume, hair products, face products, shaving products and anything else you can possible think of that you would need to be well groomed! They always have bogof and 3for2 offers on deodorants, shampoos and other stuff like that, so it is always good value for money in that respect. I like the advantage points system, you collect 4 points per pound to spend in the store and can also get exclusive offers through the post. In somewhere like boots you are always guranteed to get whatever it was you were looking for. read more

Boots - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Manchester, XGM

My favourite Boots. Well spaced aisles and friendly helpful staff. I love my Boots advantage card read more

This must be one of the biggest Boots in the UK and is spread over 2 floors. As you walk into the store, there are lots of concessions (e.g. Benefit, Clinique, Clarins etc). If you go to the back of the store and turn to the right, there is the food section were you can get the perfect meal deal. If you go upstairs onto the first floor, there is the opticians, baby section and the photo counter. This is also where they put out their seasonal range (Christmas stock is being put out at the time of writing - and lots of it!) I've always found this store to be very busy. Everytime I go in, the staff are always friendly. read more

Boots is the only place to go which has all of your beauty, cosmetic and toiletry needs under one roof along side gifts, electronics, baby equipment and much more. You can always guarantee there will be many offers on for example buy 3 for 2 on makeup or hair products. The boots card is so worth having and I use mine every Christmas to buy gifts for people, you don't notice the points adding up but they really do. Every so often through the post, if you are a boots member, you are sent pages full of money off or double point coupons which can all be used in conjunction with each other. The staff are never anything but friendly and helpful and it is a really nice place to shop. read more

I have been using this opticians for the last couple of years. I find it very convenient i can go In-between shopping, it's really easy to book your appointment online and the staff are really friendly and helpful. I got a free eye test if I bought a pair of glasses which I thought was great as I needed a new pair. They were very informative about other options like contact lenses and they even give you one to one help with trying to fit the contacts I'm thinking of trying these out in the future as I don't need to wear my glasses all the time at the moment. You can also get boots points on purchases too so that's another reason to use this opticians. read more

There comes a time in every person's life when they say to themselves: "I need to do something with my hair." Or in my case it was more like: "something needs to be done about my hair". It was, frankly, a mess. And it had been for some time. I have generous and free-thinking friends, so they hadn't been proactive in telling me how bad it had gotten - perhaps if I lived in LA there might have been some kind of intervention by now, but anyway, I digress. The point is, I decided to sort out my barnet with the use of lotions, potions and powertools. Boots on Market St was the perfect hardware store. Packed with products from the cheap and clearly labelled right up to the fashion powerhouses of Dior and Dolce, Boots offer a fantastic range for all budgets. I am the proud owner of the elusive and highly sought after 'Boots Advantage Card', and planned to make use of some points I had totted up. Cue: Complicated Advantage Card Maths With the help of some kind and knowledgeable shop assistants, I managed to get myself a set of fancy hair straighteners and some delicious smelling styling products for a vastly reduced price. I also collected a whole bunch of extra bonus points - the staff are clued in to the special offers available, and are really generous with their time helping you to make the most of the deals. The Market Street store is large and well laid out over two floors, with roomier aisles upstairs in the parent and baby section (handy for wheeling a buggie around I imagine). Downstairs you will find a pharmacy, a mini-Waitrose (that Emma-Lou is very fond of...) and self service machines which come in handy if there are long queues. read more

Boots on Market Street in Manchester is a vast and enormous shop selling pharmaceuticals, make up, fragrances, haircare items, bathings products, toys, gifts, baby items and food. The shop is set on 2 floors and has everything you could need. The prices are ok, and they have some great offers on, especially running up to Christmas. They have plenty of staffed tills, so queues are quickly moved, and they have a set of self service tills which are easy to use. They have a member of staff on hand to assist you if you need it. Their advantage card system is generous, giving you 4 points for every pound you spend in the store which can be used to purchase items when you have accumulated enough. They host special evenings running up to Christmas where for every £50 you spend, you receive 1000 points (equal to £10) to spend in store. read more

Boots sell every beauty and medicinal product under the sun and they will always have what you want in, in stock. Personally I only shop in Boots as a last resort because of price. There are many more places you can go that are much cheaper i.e. superdrug,body care, lloyds and buy the same brand products but at half the price. They can charge the full price because Boots is a British staple of our beauty diet but I would look else where. The one redeeming thing about Boots though is their christmas offers where you can buy 3 for 2 gift sets which are very good value for money. read more

Enormous range of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, haircare, skincare etc.. more products than you could wish for!
