Can't really fault the place. They sell clothes that are of a pretty decent quality at low prices.
If you're looking for menswear but don't go in for all that poofy fashion stuff that's all the rage these days, you'll have no trouble finding solid basics at Matalan. If you want to look like Russell Brand in frilly shirts, waistcoats, pink tshirts etc you're better off at topman, but for a pair of standard blue jeans, maybe a shirt for work, or a casual tshirt that's not covered in flower print, Matalan's the place to go. Well, Matalan or Next, Next dearer with no tangible difference in quality (I shop at both)
Matalan also stock have plenty of fashionable womenswear, and even stuff for my gran too. Plenty of kids clothes, though I find that baby clothes tend to vary in quality quite a bit. Believe it or not the better baby clothes tend to be from tesco and asda.
There's a homeware section that seems reasonably priced, they have very nice quilt covers at less than hal;f the price of Debenhams etc. There's also a kids toys and books section that seems to just sell rubbish to be honest. They could maybe get rid of this and maybe have a bit more shoes or something.
There's never a problem parking thanks to the huge car park, more than can be said for Debenhams, Topman or Burtons. Worth a look, don't be snobbish about the place, if you're heading to Next pop into Matalan first for a browse, it might surprise you. read more
