Lloyds Bank in Warrington is located just outside Golden Square Shopping Centre on Horsemarket St in the town centre - the size of the store is actually pretty large but one thing I found surprising was how much of that space was used, the answer was not very much.
Upon entering the store there was virtually nothing there, you had to walk to the end to find the counters or the few cash machines - which made little sense as surely the room at the front should be devoted to the ATM's perhaps with a seating and technology area with counters to discuss more complex banking matters towards the end of the store - this is a similar approach used by most other Lloyds Bank stores which I'm surprised isn't in operation here - the store just isn't "open" enough and although true for their opening times, I'm not talking about that here (opening hours are pretty in line with the old-fashioned, outdated hours of banking: 9-5 Monday to Saturday although they open later on Wednesday's and close earlier on Saturday's)
There was no greeter in the store either which made the fact the store wasn't too open more of a problem.
A pretty poor branch of Lloyds Bank but remarkably this is still one of the better banks in Warrington town centre after a dismal branch of TSB nearby (these two banks were once one company), hence the reason for the extra star and it is a useful location for a Lloyds Bank despite its' flaws. read more
