This HMV store is located inside Intu Potteries in Hanley, Stoke On-Trent. It is quite a nice…read morestore, it is a good size and a good selection of dvd's and cd's. I mainly come in to take a look at the cd's, especially albums from Englebert and Frank Sinatra, I noticed a wide selection of CD's, in some form of alphabetical order, yet I found it to be disorganized, it was arranged into categories and then alphabetical order, hence became confusing, and I didn't realize that until I got all the way through the alphabet a good 2-3 times. The layout of CD's really needs sorting, as it did seem confusing, as they was such a big selection it always would be hard arranging them, but they didn't seem to do a job here. Prices for me seemed a little pricey, a little expensive but still some of them were on par with Amazon's price for new, but considering what used CD's can be bought for and from other sellers new on Amazon, it was a little pricy. For example, as CD's are going out of fashion, they should be much cheaper, and I still was hesitant about paying £6.99 The signal in this store is weak, so it can be hard to price-check on your phone. As this store appeals to a younger market, selling entertainment products, this is one of the stores that doe and should have some sort of wi-fi, or at the very least some 3G/4G signal, and considering even Lush has free wifi, HMV should too! The staff here seemed okay, although he seemed hesitant about signing me up to the loyalty scheme and telling me it wasn't free, as I thought it would have been, which is a little bit of a rip-off and makes it less of a rewards based system, and more of a punishment. I decided not to subscribe as I rarely visit HMV. The range of all other items was okay / good, but still the prices remained poor / satisfactory, even the offers were confusing, for example Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked can be bought for £5.99 or £2.99 for any purchase, but still it remains £3 to buy on Amazon and it sells for about that, making it not much of a savings. The 2 for £5 / £10 offer also was confusing, it was on cheaper albums that were not really worth much online, and only few of them. Overall, it is just too pricey here and they make the prices seem great by using "Special Offer" promotions which is a little misleading, considering this factor, an issue with the arrangements of the CD's, the staff being merely average, I feel I can only give this HMV store 2 stars.

It does part exchange and also a cash loan on goods service like companies such as cash converters etc, however this being an independent store you receive a much more personal and unbiased service than what you get from faceless corporations like Cash Converters, Game or HMV. Having used this store for best part of 19 years now, I recommend it as a place for your gaming and electronic needs.

MY OPINION Evans to me feels like a store that values its…read morecustomers. There are few highstreet retailers who design solely for plus size women, and Evans is the best of them all. The clothes are actually designed and modelled in the design stage by plus size women, and all the literature contains the same models. The shops are always centrally located, with disabled friendly access. The store's are all fitted out pretty much the same, with wide spaces between the stands, racks and display tables, which is good for both the larger lady, wheelchairs and buggies. The changing rooms are large lady friendly too, bigger rooms, large mirrors and comfy stools, with buzzers for assistance. I've always found the sales advisors to be professional, offering useful and honest help and advice where needed and have always seemed knowledgable of current fashion trends. I was recently in store looking for a wedding guest outfit and a member of staff spent over an hour with me helping pick out an entire outfit- shoes, tights, trousers, top, bag and jewellery. She walked around the store with me as well as running around getting different items for me to try to complete the look. I think that's a true example of customer care and actually wrote to Evans HQ congratulating them on her excellent service. All the staff seem to appreciate that larger women are likely to have body image issues, and don't push certain styles on you, instead work within your comfort zone clothes wise. I think it's brilliant how many larger ladies actually work at the store too, you get to see the clothes on real life women, and they appreciate your position too and know what's truley flattering and what's just fashionable. ONLINE Evans are also online, which is great if youre very busy or can't face the shops. The site is easy to navigate and you can buy everything that's instore, with the bonus of internet only offers. LINES AND VARIETY Offering workwear, sportswear, going out and casual tops, jeans, wide fittings shoes, boots and sandals, dresses, skirts and trousers, lingerie and nightwear and hoisery, swimwear, bags, jewellery, belts and accessories both online and instore, it can be a one stop shop for wardrobe needs. There are dozens of designs of any item eg tops, so it's not to find something you like and there are also choices of colour within the same design on some lines, so variety is very good. PRICING AND QUALITY AND SIZING I find as with many the things the more you spend the better the item, so with knitwear I buy items with wool added, and have been very happy with some £20 jumpers I bought, whereas I bought a £10 acrylic only jumper which creased and bobbled quickly, but it's to be expected from the fabric and price. I find the jumpers to come up large, so buy a size down. The t-shirts are great value at any price, sizes are spot on, the fabric seems much of a muchness, washes well, keeps its shape and are from £5 for plain tops upwards to £25 for logo tops. I am too tall to wear any of the trousers which only go to a 33inch leg, so cannot comment on them. The skirts however avereage £20-£30 and are excellent quality, long lasting and well sized. Daywear dresses are around £30, well fitting and good quality, though mostly fashionable styles so don't expect a season to season dress. I always buy macs from Evans, at around £50 I think it's excellent value, and they are water resistant. I do howvere by a size up as I like to have room to move rather than semi fitting styles. The lingerie is beautiful for plus sizes, very pretty or very functional depending on your needs and well priced with sets coming in around £30-£40- remember to get measured everytime you go. The nightwear is well sized too, around £15 for a nice nighty, or £20 for pjs and again I buy baggy styles for bed but the actual size fits me well enough, I'm just fussy. To summarise, it's good value for what you pay, well fitting, reasnobly priced, the staff are excellent and the store is easy to navigate- and there's the online option too.
