Superdrug in Wigan's Grand Arcade is a decent location, while it doesn't have the extra facilities…read moreoffered by larger Superdrug stores in larger towns/cities, including Bolton Middlebrook just a couple of miles away, it still is a decent location. Some prices seemed slightly higher than Boots nearby, but the selection overall was satisfactory. The store was also clean, the one-way system due to COVID seemed difficult to follow at some of the "narrow" parts of the store. 3* - Decent Superdrug store, I do prefer Boots nearby though in terms of the overall selection.

It is a large store on…read moreone level with decent sized aisles making it suitable for disabled shoppers or mums with buggies.It is also a very bright and welcoming store with lots of choice in the cosmetics and toiletries it stocks. There is a separate perfume counter selling all the latest designer perfumes but these rae not particularly cheap. Throughout the store there are often offers on the toiletries, gift sets etc but on the whole prices are not as low as bodycare which is just opposite. Superdrug also sells a selection of mobile phones with contracts, and has a small confectionery/ drinks section for snacks on the go. There are often deals available on the bottled drinks. At christmas there are a large number of gifts and gift sets available within the store.

Bodycare is situated within the galleries shopping centre on the ground floor. It is medium sized…read morestore on one floor at ground level. It has wide entrance doors and wide aisles and is very accessible to disabled shoppers or mums with buggies. Bodycare stocks most branded toiletries, hair care, baby care items, gift sets, holiday items such as suncream and a range of basic first aid bits and vitamins etc. Most of the stuff on sale at bodycare is discounted quite a bit compared to other retailers and some great deals on branded goods can be found. Bodycare also sells famous name perfumes and aftershaves and gift sets of both, again at usually discounted prices. The store is very clean and well organised and staff are very helpful. Small queues at busy times but nothing drastic.

It is set out like an extended Boots Pharmacy style store, no mini department store vibes like a larger store etc. The store was clean and free of obstruction. Opening hours (like the selection in many areas compared to larger stores) are limited. 3* - OK Boots location, there are better/larger stores nearby such as in Horwich (around ten minutes on the train)

Situated at the top of Market walk, next to Woolworth's. There are several sections in this small,…read morebut well provisioned store. I use the chemist section quite a bit for prescriptions and there is a good value service where they order and pick up your prescription for you. The rest of the store is split into the usual sections, the one bit i do find slightly disappointing is the three for two offer section, especially at this time of year when the hristmas offers are on. The two tills at the front can get quite a few people queuing and people often use the perfume counters. The staff are quite good at giving advice on products as well.

Gee Tees is a two storey local shop in the Pemberton shopping area. The shop has been there for…read moreyears and years but it has kept up to date with consumer needs and still manages to be successful. The shop is in the main high street but is not very accessible to disabled people or mums with prams. There is a small step into the store and then it is split into two floors with the second floor being accessible only by means of a quite steep staircase. Downstairs is the day to day stocks of household cleaning materials, toiletries, hair care, perfumes, stationery items, baby needs, gift sets, vitamins, fist aid stocks, and general sundries such as hot water bottles, washing up bowls, washing lines and other everyday household goods. Go up the stairs however and you are transported into a world of fancy goods, ranges of ceramics, pottery, kitchenware and crockery, cooking equipment, artificial flowers,vases, crystal, scented candles and all manner of giftware and decorative items, mirrors, pictures and small items of decorative furniture.Stock upstairs also follows seasonal trends such as garden furniture in summer etc and xms trees and decorations in winter. The staff are friendly and helpful and have a good rapport with local customers who have probably been going there for years. Attached to the downstairs is also a small card and gift shop selling cards for all occasions, gift packaging,and unique and novelty gift items. The only downside to the shop is its lack of accessibility.

Wilkinsons is situated on Lord Street in Leigh town centre…read more There are car parks which are pay and display around the town and the bus station is close to the centre of Leigh town. The outside of Wilkinsons store is large, bright, clearly signed, modern and clean. Inside the store is large, spacious, bright and clean and well layed out. There are numerous ailses and these are quite wide so do not get too cramped. The store is offers great ranges of items from homeware to toys, hair colours and toileteries to pet and bird supplies and the prices are competitive.it is like an Aladdins cave and you can spend a good amount of time browsing. The checkouts are situated at the front of the store and they are normally well staffed, the customer service desk is opened to buy purchases when queues build up. The staff are very helpful and friendly and the atmosphere is nice. When you have had a good look around Wilkinsons you could have a shop around the town centre of Leigh and in the Spinning Gate centre and adjoining Market, there are plenty of shops including New Look, Dorothy Perkins, Select, Argos, Claires, Boots and more. There is a large car park at the side of the Spinning Gate centre which is handy, this is pay and display. I would highly recommend Wilkinsons, I often manage to get a bargain from there.

I cannot fault Wilkinsons, I buy lots of things from here, they seem to sell everything from…read moretoiletries, home textiles, cushions, bedding, mirrors, pictures, suitcases, paint, wallpaper and all you diy essentials. They have a great gardening section, selling plants, pots even soil, and they have some lovely unusual garden ornaments etc. The staff are very obliging when you need to return anything, I have returned quite a few faulty items and never had any problems Wilkinson seem to have a good returns policy with no questions asked. They have good offers on their toiletry section, like buy one get one free and when they have a sale they do reduce the items by 50% to 75% if you go in after christmas they practically give stuff away, I always buy chritmas wrapping and present to put away for the following year, it saves me a fortune.

They sell fake hair, wigs, have a beauty and hair section and all sorts of beauty products - you can tell from this description that I'm not massively up on this theme... This is the newer store after the previous one was destroyed by fire and it does look very modern and well laid out. The staff were very helpful guiding me straight to what I needed - a very easy visit, in and out!
