Robin Retail Park is a nice complex, it has improved a lot since my last visit and now features…read moremany more stores. Brands located here include JD Sports, Sports Direct, Marks and Spencer Simply Food, Boots, Argos, EE and Next. The location is easily accessed, with a large car park, with buses serving the area nearby. It is also a stone's throw away from the DW Stadium, home to Wigan Athletic FC and Wigan Warriors. A large ASDA supermarket is also nearby. The retail park doesn't have much of an online presence, I couldn't find a list of stores and restaurants located here anywhere, which was pretty frustrating. In terms of eating and drinking, the selection is good for fast food with Subway, Greggs, KFC and Burger King have outlets here, the latter two being drive-thrus. The only coffee shop would be Costa (inside Next), in terms of more of a restaurant, there is a Nando's in the process of being constructed (September 2021), but it isn't much else. 3* - A-OK, there is a good selection of stores here.

I often use the shops at Robin Retail Park in Wigan. I have just received a Parking Charge Notice…read moreas I have been informed that I over stayed the parking time by 13 minutes. I find this absolutely ridiculous as there is just not enough time to use the shops in a relaxed way. I intend to boycott the retail park and protest. I think that the media needs to be informed of this situation. I can certainly understand if people leave their cars parked on the car park for hours and hours. I am most unhappy about this situation. Thank you. Kind regards Gary K Tame

Poundworld was the first poundshop to open in wigan town centre. A little bit out the way of the…read moremain shopping area but worth a visit for the odd bargain that you may pick up. The store itself is quite large with mostly wide aisles that are easy to get about, although sometimes wire baskets of goods can be in the middle of the aisle blocking the way through a little. The stock is cheap and cheerful but often you can get a bargain of a big brand end of line item or a useful gadget and for only £1 you will probably find something useful. Stationery items are usually a good buy particularly at back to school times when you can get the kids kitted out for very little. Only two tills on the checkouts so often a bit of a queue to pay but the staff are quite quick to get through the queues.

Makro is a wholesale store similar to Costco. It sells a wide range of goods all under one roof…read morewhether it is food, electrical appliances or video games. The store mainly attracts those who own businesses as items are usually sold in bulks, hence you have to become a member which requires certain eligibility. Prices do not include VAT until you reach the checkout so this is something to be wary of. However, it is a great store that you could probably spend a good few hours browsing. Prices in general are affordable and not overly expensive. The location in Liverpool is rather in an isolated position with it being in an industrial estate and away from the main road. Most people have to have a car to use this store which makes sense when you're buying products in bulk form!

Absolute rubbish I went to the Bamber Bridge outlet a few…read moreweeks ago. I saw something I really liked and inquired about delivery for a nest of tables: I am a senior citizen and don't drive. This did not appear to be a good idea. Do they use a "man and his van" So today I travelled the 3 miles or so by bus, intending to get a taxi home. It was throwing it down and I got drenched. I couldn't get served as only one staff on the tills and a rather longish queue. So I again I wandered around and now found two staff chatting. I told them when they finally decided to speak to me that I wanted some tables, but not exactly sure which to choose. I was shocked to be now told that I needed to order then and I can come back and collect the tables on Monday. WHAT!!!!!!!!! This was the first indication that I needed to do this. I have checked the sites, there is no mention of ordering. I was not told to order on my previous visit.

From one side, Taylor's looks like a perfectly normal newsagent. The only problem is that, from…read morethe other side, it looks like a perfectly normal little café. This is because the shop itself is half newsagent half café. This unusual but handy feature in the shop means that you can buy your weekly copy of Heat before popping next door and reading it all with a cup of tea. The selection of magazines in the newsagents is pretty varied without offering anything too obscure like Knitting Weekly, and their sweets and drinks there are competitive and pretty cheap. The café side is pretty simple but cosy enough, with Taylor's offering its customers a small selection of hot and cold refreshments and snacks whilst you sit and watch the world go by through Ormskirk village. Both sides of the shop are reasonably-sized, meaning they can fit plenty in there without making you feel too cramped. A decent place to go for your glossies or a cup of tea.

Quality and service are two good words that sum up what Tyrer's is all about. They provide a range of top class fashions for men and women, together with beauty products and their own restaurant and hairdressing salon. It is a department store that has retained a little bit of tradition. You shouldn't have any problem finding it as it is in the town centre. They have a 'genuine' sale on at the minute, declaring that you could save 70% - it all sounds very good! I am not the best when it comes to sales and tend to have a brief filter through the sale items and then get totally put off and then swiftly move onto the full priced stuff! I am just no good. I need to be sent to sale buying training school!
