Deepdale Shopping Park, often styled as just Deepdale Shopping is a large retail park in Preston,…read morelocated on Blackpool Road it is basically opposite Deepdale Football Stadium, home to Preston North End Football Club. The location of Deepdale Shopping is good, it has a large amount of car parking too, and the location makes it a good spot if you want to spend some time after the match, perhaps to get a drink or something to eat while waiting for traffic to die down a bit, I've never attended a game at Deepdale but as a 25,000 or so capacity stadium, it must be quite hard getting in and out of the stadium and surrounding area on a matchday. Shops here include Sports Direct, TUI, O2, WHSmith and JD Sports, although one thing I dislike about this retail park is the overall layout, it makes certain stores hard to find and some of which seem to be slightly just outside the retail park, and closer to Blackpool Road its-self, examples of this include Starbucks and Currys PC World, I must also add the Starbucks branch here is a franchise store (and quite a poor one - there is a seperate review for that if inteested) so do be expected to pay higher prices if visiting that one! In terms of food outlets, there is only a small selection, yet this includes one of two Nando's branches in Preston, this one (in-fact both of them) serve halal chicken only, other restaurants here include Frankie and Benny's and Pizza Hut. KFC and Subway also have bases here. Interestingly, the Starbucks doesn't seem to be classed as inside the retail park although it is basically right next to it and requires little walking to get there from the retail park, depending whereabouts in the retail park you are of course Like most retail parks, parking here is free and you should be able to park relatively close to most shops, depending on demand, although this probably might be tricky at peak time and Preston home match-days. Due to certain issues with the overall layout and feel of Deepdale Shopping, I feel it only deserves a two-star rating.

Fishergate Shopping Centre is a shopping centre located in Preston city centre, it is one of the…read moremany shopping centres in such a small area which also includes a shopping street, which this is located on, in the city. It opened in 1986 and it's main stores include Debenhams, TJ Hughes, Primark, TK Maxx, Argos, Poundland and Sports Direct. The layout of the mall is slightly confusing in terms of "store levels" and could mean you go in on the third level, despite having three levels the mall isn't huge, and I'd say it is on the smaller side, although it does have a satisfactory range of shops. Other places here include a Starbucks, which was the first thing I noticed as I walked into Fishergate, it seemed like quite a nice branch, although having been to Starbucks at Deepdale on Blackpool Road earlier, I did not call in to the Starbucks here today, other non-shops here include Mcdonald's and I presume there is a Debenhams Cafe here. Overall, the range of selection here including dining is bad, so bad in-fact, even someone from the mall advised me to go elsewhere due to such limited selection. This mall, doesn't feel like one for a large city, and more of a small town, so I'm struggling in terms of determinating a rating for Fishergate, yet still, it is a decent addition to Preston city centre, yet isn't the best place to shop (most certainly it isnt the best to eat), so warrants a two-star rating which is slightly generous, but more deserved and appropiate than a single one-star rating.

The underwear section is also great as they do sizes in extra small and extra large.
