Debenhams in Stockport is located on the main A6 directly opposite the George pub. It is set over…read moretwo floors, offering items such as designer perfumes and clothing, toys, homeware and cosmetics. It is well laid out with plenty of friendly staff on hand to help you out.

Matalan in Stockport is hidden away behind the Peel Centre. You can get to it by either going down…read morethe side of Argos on the Peel Centre, or by walking down the side of Asda towards Newbridge Lane and turning left at the mini roundabout. It is a massive store with hundreds of lines of clothing for men, women and children. They also stock a good range of homewares and, bizzarely, a fancy dress/Birthdays section. The clothing is good quality and quite cheap, and they stock a good range of sizes. The staff are usually pleasant even thought they are always busy and there is always a queue at the checkout. The little coffee shop at the back is a nice place to stop for a quick hot drink, and the coffee is good.

Matalan is a great place to look for bargains, particularly is the homeware department. I've…read moreconstantly been impressed by the good prices for their bedding and home accessories, and their ranges are attractive and of a good quality. The clothing is of a relatively good quality and price. The Stockport store is well laid out, it just sometimes gets busy at the weekend and there are not always enough tills being manned. Apart from that it is well worth a visit.

If you hear one of the shop assistants in Westgate talking about their pussy it's probably not a beloved cat they are referring to. Of course they would be; the word now only has undertones of 'cat' where it used to be the opposite way round. But back to Westgate. Though there might not be any Mr. Humphries or Mrs. Slocombe characters bouncing around the shop floor the place does reek of a former era, when men were men and wore kipper ties. The menswear section features racks of trousers in various shades of beige and hangers of navy blazers (there are some Barbour jackets amongst the blandery but the range is small and very expensive.) There is some indulgence of the 'yoof' market with a concession selling various coloured oxford pumps, jeans and t-shirts by Bck & Hrsy and Ringspun. The women's fashion department seems to have a similar issue to the mens, with stands from Ann Harvey and Playboy and seemingly nothing in between. Elsewhere in the store, the bedding and homeware department is filled with the sort of chintz that's not even cool in an ironic retro sort of a way and the electronics department is filled with desirable enough items but which are so highly priced I can't imagine anyone would bother. And this is the problem with Westgate; a lot here is simply outdated and what isn't is too expensive to consider.

There is another small cafe on this floor. Most of the staff are helpful in this store and its well laid out with some good offers on.
