Inside, there is a good selection of stores, including high street names like Boots, WHSmith, Dorothy Perkins, New Look, Wilkinsons and Iceland to name a few. The range of shops is good too, as there is a nice selection of clothes shops, jewellery shops, department style stores, music and loads of others. There is loads of parking inside the centre itself and it is free which is great as there are not many shopping centres that have free parking. The only thing about the centre that lets it down is the fact that it looks very dated and old fashioned compared with more modern shopping centres. Having said that, it doesn't really matter as it is always clean and tidy and the shops are great which is what really matters.

It is a good sized clothes shop that sells really lovely fashionable women's clothes and I always think that they look really classy too. The shop looks like it will be expensive as it has an expensive look to it, but really the clothes are not too dear at all. They are a bit more expensive than places like New Look, but on the whole I think the clothes are good quality and affordable. The store has a really nice layout to it and the clothes are often displayed in a colour coded fashion so if you are looking for a red top, all the red tops would be in one place. It gives the store a great look to it and is easy for customers to find what they are looking for. There are plenty of changing rooms and the staff are helpful in this store too.

This store I believe is good value for money, yes it does sometimes seem a little pricey like a pair of black trousers will cost you £30 but then they do last a long time, so its values for money. The store is pretty big inside and has plenty of room if there is a sudden rush of customers, there are also plenty of changing rooms and someone is always manning them so there is help there if you need it. They sell dresses, trousers, smart tops, casual tops, skirts, shoes and accessories.

In the centre of Rugby town, we have a shopping precinct called the clock towers, named after our…read morebeautiful clock tower which stands proud in the centre of town, and is a sort of a legend around rugby, everyone tends to meet there, either for shopping or when you go out in the evening, the taxi rank and all the bus stops are dotted around it also along with the hundreds of pigeons, whom all stop there waiting for the children to drop bits of their cakes or sweeties, or for a stray chip or bit of sandwich that gets dropped from the locals whom buy and have their lunch from the takeaway caravan type things that are based their. There are three takeaway stands based around the bottom of the Clock tower, one being a jacket potatoes stand, one being a burger van and another being a sandwich van. I would defiantly recommend the spuds, they are delicious and although quite large in size, they still manage to be extremely competitive in process, a spud with butter and coleslaw is 1.40 which in my opinion is a bargain. Anyway Inside the precinct we have a varied amount of shops, such as Thornton's, Wilkinson's, Argos, Poundland, Dunelm Mill, boots, Superdrug, New Look etc etc, all are the same standard in which you would get in other towns, so nothing out of the ordinary, but a good varied bunch for all shoppers. The precinct also tend to have some little market type stalls such as a lovely traditional sweet stand, a glass and crystal artist, jewellery stand and they also tend to vary these stands throughout the year, which is nice, especially at Christmas time, where they had a lovely stand with nick naks that were all personalised for e.g. stockings, hairbrushes, room signs, mirrors etc. They also have a few eatery options for shoppers; they have a bb's, baker's oven, subway, all again at the same type of standard as you would imagine for these types of chain places. There is also a café on the second floor of the precinct that although is very basic in décor, sort of a greasy spoon style café, it actually caters to all different tastes and is very nice, it seems to be a favourite haunt for the over 60's, probably because of all their specials on oap's and early bird specials etc. On a Wednesday they do a gorgeous shepherds pie and vegetables, with a mug of tea of coffee for a fiver, my Nan and granddad often go up there for a treat on a Wednesday bless them. The precinct is very clean and has good access to all stores for both the disabled and double pushchairs etc, there are plenty of bins around and tends too be quite a nice place to shop. There are always security guards around that are very friendly and helpful to all shoppers that need some assistance but also are very good at stopping the youth spoiling the precinct for all. The only complaint I have about the precinct is the scarcity of toilets, there is one toilet on the bottom floor only accessible to the disabled and then all the rest along with the baby changing facilities are on the third floor, so it's a nightmare when your three year old shouts I need a poo poo in the middle of Wilkinson's when your arms are full of shopping and you have to grab them and do a sprint up to the elevators and then go up three floors and then do another sprint along the corridors to the toilet - complete nightmare. I can remember doing this when I was pregnant as well, and let's just say I got there only just in the nick of time!! And then had to lie down for a week to recover from my Linford Cristie style sprint Overall though, I think that this shopping centre is very sufficient for the locals, its not the sort of centre that I would obviously travel to for a great shopping experience.

The store always looks clean and tidy and it is usually easy to get around the whole store pretty easily unlike some of the other branches which sometimes feel cramped. It is situated in the Swansgate shopping centre where there is free parking, and it is near to one of the centre entrances so the access is quick if you come into the centre from the street as opposed to through the carpark. The staff are helpful and can put things aside if you want to collect them later. If you like a store that there is plenty of room to browse and offers fashion at really good prices, then try this branch of Select.

If i find an item i like, i find it impossible to find my size. It seems that the staff have been told by their managers that NOTHING can be put in the stock room, so it is ALL crammed out. Looking for a particular size is HARD because you can barely move the items without throwing them on the floor first. I fail to understand why a store would possibly need 12 size 8's out on the shop floor at one time. What happened to stock rotation and replenishment? There is a bell on the desk to make yourself known when you are waiting and there is nobody at the till. When i worked in retail, you would NEVER leave the till unattended. Big fail. One time i was stood at the till for a while longer than expected, and people behind be began to put their items down and leave. I had rung the bell several times, and a member of staff looked at me as if i was asking the world just to be served. I only shop in this store if there is something i really, really want. Its not a pleasurable experience for me.

Product wise though I can't really fault it as it sells the same as the other branches, but not as many homeware items as the larger stores as this branch is quite small. The prices are great and if you are looking for cheap toiletries, stationery, kids toys, or household items then do pop into this store because it is a lot cheaper than any of the other chemists or department stores in town. The only competition really is the 99p store and the £1 shops. There always seems to be staff on the shop floor to help with enquiries too.
