WHSmith's branch on Fargate in Sheffield is one of the larger stores in Sheffield centre, it's a…read morefairly cool branch. I came in here to take a quick look around, and possibly purchase a beverage. They were selling Fuzetea for £1 each which is a pretty average price at most retailers including Superdrug and the Co-operative Food, however, this (like most of their drink prices) worked out between 50-80% cheaper than at Boots which is basically at the other side of the square. The staff seemed nice enough, there was a small checkout area both a manned checkout and a few self-service tills which were pretty handy. I would have preferred to see a Post Office in this branch as Sheffield city centre doesn't have too many and feel it would be a much better location and be better suited to this store, compared to the Wilko store, as a bonus. WHSmith does already operate a vast amount of Post Offices in their stores across the network including in Liverpool, you can post things here with DHL but I find DHL to be much more expensive than virtually any other provider. The drink selection could have been improved by stocking other brands of Iced Tea, it seems to favour drinks from the Coca Cola company as a whole, also lacking choice from other brands which compete, which is a shame. 3* - Pretty average store, albeit one of my favourite stores in Sheffield's city centre (excluding Meadowhall)

From the outside, this Waterstones store stands out. Why? It's the biggest book store in South…read moreYorkshire, and is over two floors, from the outside you can see that it is located in an old building with outdoor stairs - considering it is in a shopping centre which is basically outside this is quite a funky, maverick approach. The store does feel pretty old-fashioned inside and it hasn't had any sort of refurb which a lot of the more central and mall locations have, such as the nearest other branch of Waterstones at Meadowhall, which despite being a little smaller is one of my favourite branches of Waterstones. Decent selection of books and the location is decent too being the only Waterstones branch in Sheffield centre, located in Orchard Square fairly close to Costa and Primark. Some unique features to decor mainly in the exterior, but in the interior, it is pretty dark, and a tad gothic, and reminds me a lot of one of my local branches at Manchester - Deansgate. 2* - Useful brand and a decent sized store but for me, it lacks that interior beauty juxtaposing old and new which many of the latest Waterstones stores do have.

I have been using Waterstones in Sheffield for many years, and have always found it to have the…read moremain qualities you would look for in a bookshop: friendly and helpful staff, and a good selection of books. The space is attractive and inviting, with plenty of space to browse and to enable good displays of the more popular books. In common with all bookshops it faces strong competition from Amazon, but does a decent job in providing an alternative: while it can never stock such a large selection or compete on price, it has advantages such as being able to browse at leisure, especially useful when you don't know exactly what you're looking for.
