John Lewis & Partners' location in Sheffield is a nice brand to have in the city and one of the…read morecity's largest department stores, it is basically opposite the Town Hall so it's in a good central location, just a few minutes walk away from Orchard Square, The Moor, Cathedral and Fargate. The store goes back to the 1800's back when it was owned by the Cole Brothers, one thing I like about many department store chains including this one is how they look back to their history and who used to own the stores before the big chains established themselves in the department store game. The store isn't modern, it feels a little bare and definitely in need of a refurb, and sadly nearly four and a half years since this place was last reviewed it still seems to be facing the same problems. The scruffed floor still hasn't changed or improved and adds to the overall woes of the store. The store is a decent size but again follows the older look, layout and feel in the John Lewis chain which really is a shame as some of there newer stores such as at Westfield London and beyond are much nicer, bolder and cooler. The technology section was small. A useful brand to have in the city and a large size although the overall selection in most areas and feel of the store is below average at best. 2*

Excellent guidance from the staff in the home appliances department earlier this week. I needed a…read morenew tumble dryer, and went with the intent to purchase a German brand machine. The sales assistant asked where the machine was to be located. He then proceeded to explain why I shouldn't purchase the one I had in mind but that I should buy a cheaper model that was more suited to being in the cold environment it would be located in I.e. the basement. I left the store having spent less than 40% of my original budget. The machine has been delivered, to the basement and they even moved the old broken machine upstairs for me. Excellent service, thank you. Your reputation was correct.

Meadowhall is a large shopping centre, located just 3 miles away from Sheffield city centre, or 2…read moremiles away from Rotherham town centre. It is the largest shopping centre in the Yorkshire and the Humber region and the 12th largest in the UK overall by retail space, at time of writing (October 2021) - if the planned improvement works happen the centre could be expanded to become the fourth largest in the country. The mall is easily accessed by all modes of public transportation: There is a public transport interchange for trains (as far as Manchester and Cleethorpes), there are also Sheffield Supertram and bus services, serving the centre, not forgetting the 12,000 parking spaces up for grabs. There are multiple places to eat inside the centre's Oasis Dining Quarter including branches such as Friday's, KFC, McDonald's, Nando's, Pizza Express, Subway, Tapas Revolution and Wagamama. If you're looking for coffee, there are multiple branches of Starbucks, a Caffe Nero and some of the department stores here have their own Cafes. The majority of the centre feels modern, there are many large shops including Apple, Marks and Spencer, Primark and Next and even a barber and a VUE Cinema. The loss of Debenhams has hit the centre hard, which was one of the largest anchor stores of the mall. My biggest problem with this is you now have to walk all the way around the car park to get into the centre from the South Tinsley tram stop because the store is closed, that just seemed dangerous and not very well sign-posted for me. I feel they should have kept a walkway open to allow safe and confusion-free access into the centre. 4*

The Lanes. The food court itself is not bad for a shopping meal..lots of noodles or pizza and an all day breakfast place amongst them. The little shops have ethnic goods, an old fashioned toy shop and film memorabiliaThe Last Picture Show. There is also jewellery (Cleopatras is nice), a hobby shop, a watch hospital and a fairy shop. Arkwrights Emporium has all the old nostalgic stuff people love..great for gifts..including Gollies. Beatles stuff Marilyn Monroe, Laurel and Hardy. Audrey Hepburn, model cars and tractors, signs with a message, and branded stuff like BETTY BOOP. GUINNESS. JACK DANIELS. JOHN DEERE etc. These little shops are, for me, the best part of Meadowhall.

House of Fraser is one of the large, anchor stores of Meadowhall, the largest shopping centre in…read morethe Yorkshire and Humber Region, in Sheffield - It is a rather unorthodox location considering the brand, House of Fraser (HOF) which are usually located on big shopping streets in big department stores, based on other branches I have visited from London - Oxford Street and Victoria, to Manchester, Leeds and many more. It is quite a large store over two floors, including a small Cafe, the cafe, in particular, looked a little poor and run down - it had no soul or atmosphere, it felt like a waiting room for death and I couldn't bear to stay in there for just a couple of minutes. The selection didn't appear to be as good as other stores, the selection, in general, appeared more towards the women's market than men and considering HOF isn't a gender-specific brand, the balance between men and female clothing, fragrance etc seemed one-sided. The overall feel of the store is okay and it is a nice and unique brand to have in the mall, giving Meadowhall a sort of USP with many other towns and cities having the branches nearby rather than inside, of course it isn't as big, grand and marvellous as other department stores, whether that's a rival chain or HOF branch but it is pretty much "A-OK". 3*

It only has 27 stores according to its' website including TK Maxx, Waterstones, Schuh and Costa, but I'd even say 27 is a stretch now. Over the years, Orchard Square has declined so much that even when you're in Orchard Square, it would be quite easy to not even know you're in a shopping centre or street for that matter at all, no staff were around the square to offer assistance either. A place one would pass through, often reluctantly while in Orchard Square to visit a small selection of stores, not even worth being known as a shopping centre anymore for any logical reasoning. 1*

This is probably one of the most maverick and unconventional Wilko stores I have visited, the main…read morebranch in Sheffield city centre - the store is over two floors and it is the first time I have ever seen a Wilko branch contain a Post Office, toilets and Cafe - although the latter two seem to close really early including the toilets a good 2 hours or so before the store closes which for me lowers that benefits - the only toilet which is open throughout the store is the disabled toilet which appears to be used for storage making it a nightmare for anyone, let alone a disabled person of which the toilet is designed for. The store being on Haymarket perhaps isn't the best location within the city centre, as it is a stop on the tram or a good 5-10 minute walk from the rest of the city's main shopping areas including The Moor and Fargate, the whole area seems a little rough including the nearby Hilton Sheffield - which of course lowers the overall feel of the store as it feels like the backstreets of a third world country rather than a city centre of the largest and main town of the South Yorkshire region. The staff didn't seem too friendly or helpful - the overall product range was okay but again the layout was confusing including one way in one way out forcing you to buy something - again this is a traditional method Wilko use in many of their stores but surely this adds extra inconvenience to customers just coming in perhaps to use the Cafe (at its' limited hours) or the Post Office who obviously have no need to wait at the crowded checkouts? Not in the best location in Sheffield but still central nonetheless, also let down by its' store layout and perhaps offering too much than it is able to cope with - proof of this is closing many facilities early or having different timings which don't seem to work out. 2*
