Situated in The Lanes in Meadowhall (runs around the side of The Oasis food court) this is a gem of…read morea shop which sells christening gowns and other formal wear for little kids! Found the perfect gown for my 9 month old daughter here, and they also sell shoes, jewellery, hair accessories, sock, tights and anything else you might need for the big day. They also do little suits and cute sailor suits for boys if you'd prefer that sort of outfit, and a range of really nice (but pricey!) clothes for children too. Staff are really helpful and know their stock really well.

Many stores I've visited recently have really fit into the category "Meh, I've experienced better"…read moreand "A nice brand which the city really needs, but the way the store goes about it doesn't meet standards and expectations", and this branch of Primark on Sheffield's The Moor is certainly one of those places. There are two ways Primark stores go around, not just in the UK but also around Europe - they're either modern and spacious or basically a tight squeeze of cheap clothing goods which ruins and lessens the overall shopping experience, sadly this is the latter. It might lack compared to the nearby branch at Meadowhall in terms of facilities, size and overall feel so it is certainly below average, but that doesn't mean the store isn't useful despite its flaws and at least deserves a two-star rating.

Of all the Primark's I've been to, and that's quite a few, I always find this one to be the least…read morefavourite. The shop is small and always very crowded. When you come in the door, there is a small lower level with jeans and things in and to get to the main bit you have to go up the stairs, I don't really like the layout plus there are always clothes strewn about that the staff don't tidy. They still sell the same good cheap range that all Primarks sell so have mens, womens and kids clothes. Be prepared to queue for ages to pay!

This branch of USC is quite a large store in Meadowhall Shopping Centre, as I recall it is in the…read moreLower Gallery area of the large shopping centre, and it is below Sports Direct, while also being fairly close to Starbucks - Lower Gallery branch and stores including Mothercare and Millie's Cookies. I came in this store while shopping in Meadowhall looking to buy some new shoes or trainers, with my current ones looking a little old/tacky now, I was impressed by the range of brands in the store yet I was originally confused with the store layout at first as the "store" has two stores in with USC at the bottom and Sports Direct upstairs in the lift, this is probably down to USC being owned by Sports Direct and hence the reason my receipt had the Sports Direct branding also. The staff in the store seemed nice enough, although they seemed a little rushed at times as I did visit on a Saturday Afternoon where Meadowhall as a whole appeared to be very busy. I wanted to look at trying on two pairs of trainers in my size, eventually, I was told they only had one on, luckily they were in a sale at a saving of around £30-£40 pounds, I ended up buying the Hugo Boss shoes I saw. The overall selection of the store for multiple brands was good including Nike, Hugo Boss, Polo and Tommy Hilfiger, as well as various others. After I was unsure about my purchase the staff member offered to put the shoes behind the counter while I looked at pricing them up elsewhere to see if the saving really was good, due to the name printed inside the shoes and on the box being very vague, I struggled doing this and eventually decided to buy them as I did like the shoes and the saving appeared to be good. The overall checkout experience was awful and the woman who served me didn't appear to be too friendly, I originally asked for a JD style duffle bag, similar to what JD Sports and Footasylum use, to be told they had something similar, eventually I found out they cost £1.50 as I went to pay which I found to be shocking and disgusting, considering I wasn't charged this and it basically is just a bag, I then had a long wait with no apology or explanation for these to be knocked off my bill as I suppose my server couldn't do this? This was frustrating and drawn out my purchase to take much longer than it needed to be which was a shame. Overall, due to a very good selection of shoes, especially for someone like myself who normally struggles to find a decent pair of shoes, and a satisfactory range of items too which aren't footwear, including bags and sportswear, and the overall feel of the store being quite good I do feel the branch deserves a three-star rating, yet there are some big issues with this store such as the amount of staff perhaps needing to be increased at weekends, as well as a varying level of service throughout the staff members, in general, going from close to excellent to close to terrible (the point where you want to walk out of the store and cancel your purchase even).

I do feel they could have put each brand together, rather than having two sections even for the same type of clothing (shirts, jackets) which was a little strange, and making sure the branding was clear so you can see from a distance without having to look around a store for your favourite brand would be a good improvement. The staff did seem OK, far from the best or the worst I've had in a Tessuti store, but this was surprisingly good compared to other stores within the shopping centre. Pretty average store, yet you can get some decent finds if you call in at the right time. 3*

This store is a decent size, it isn't up there with the biggest Primark locations in Birmingham and Manchester, being over just two floors, but it is pretty decent for the location as extra amenities such as a branded coffee shop and other "interesting" factors aren't needed as they basically have it all nearby within the centre anyway. For a Primark store, the store was pretty spacious, making it more pleasant to get around and shop compared to other locations. The store was pretty bright and modern, and although it differed to the colour scheme and layout to the stores in the North East, Birmingham and other stores around the country, it still felt pretty modern and of course, with any Primark store, the prices are pretty decent and affordable too. Not a bad branch of the Irish discount clothing chain, in a good location. 3*

As mentioned before, this store is much bigger then the town centre counterpart. Its well lit and…read morespread out over two floors. There is a lot more choice then in the city centre and has more sizes. There are loads of clothes for ladies to pick and choose from, handbags and accessories to underwear. The quality is average sometimes a bit poor on some items but its to be expected. Upstairs there is a small home wear section, mainly bedding and cushions. There is a good shoe selection, including leather shoes. The men's wear is ok but not as good as the ranges available for women. Also the children's wear is great for clothes for boys and girls. The prices are cheap and the clothes are on trends and keeps up with the likes of topshop. The staffs are a mixed bunch with some being really friendly to others that don't even speak to you at the tills, but really you only go in there for the cheap clothes not the customer services. The store is kept tidy, the rails do get a bit messy on busy days but there are plenty of staff trying to tidy them up. It is also horrible to go in on a Saturday or Sunday at peak times as its heaving and you can't get round properly. Also there are queues but these do go down fairly quickly.

They did have some products, they did seem to be a little designer like in terms of pricing especially with the coats, however, I did like how they formed a Chinese dragon out of them as a form of celebration for the upcoming Chinese New Year, year of the rat. The staff seemed friendly enough but they were obviously a little bored as they were just sat at a table talking to each other, while I was in the store and passed it a couple of times during the mall, there was virtually no customers. 3* - A nice store within Meadowhall, staff seemed friendly enough too but I really do think they have their product selection wrong with a huge selection of similar jeans and not enough of other clothing and merchandise.
