good range of items, staff always friendly and helpful but very overpriced in general, I am very…read moresurprised they make money on the full priced items. I would recommend looking at sale times as thats when there is bargains to be had, generally they have sale stuff all the time but the best sales are in January. They always try and sell u their store card, do not take it as it has an appalling APR, better off with a decent credit card. Their underwear section could do with a bit more range, most of the stuff is very unsexy and they do not have a good range of bra sizes. They could do with updating that area.
I'm a big fan of Evans, mostly because I have lots of trouble getting clothes to fit me properly…read moreand they're the best place I've found so far. I'm 6ft which is tall for a girl and wear size 9/10 shoes. Evans clothes seem to fit me really well and they hang better than lots of other places. They are the only ladies shoe shop that goes up to a size 10, which is handy for me as it depends on the style as to which size I need. The clothes and shoes can be on the pricey side, but they are good quality and last for a long time, so definitely good value for money!
This branch of Primark is located in the Gateshead Metrocentre, I called in here while visting the…read moreTyne and Wear region, with this bus being around 10 minutes from the Gateshead Interchange, around half a mile from the Hilton hotel in Gateshead, I stayed at during my trip. In my opinion, when comparing this store and the branch in Newcastle, perhaps even adding the branches of Primark in both Oldham and Manchester city centre, closer to my home into the mix, this is one of my favourite stores. The sign is modern and it does have some slightly modern features, and it also seemed less busy than most other city centre stores such as Manchester on my trip. I found the staff to be friendly, we got chatting about technology and Apple pay, I was served quite quickly despite there being a queue, it seemed to be well-managed which was good. The product range was quite satisfactory but mainly summer-based, for example, I found it quite difficult to get long sleeve t-shirts away from their suits and smart range, which was a shame. For a clothes shop, this is probably slightly above average, some of the products in all honesty are just junk and things you would wear once and seem to be of the lower quality, but some things from here are okay, and I feel as one of the better Primark stores I have visited, this store deserves a three star rating.
Is it just me or is Primark expensive nowadays with the quality just the same as the cheaper days?…read moreNevertheless, Primark is a great place to get staples at a cheap-ish price. Can't really say it's all that different to the other branches: crowded, hot, clothes everywhere etc... but bigger. Still a great place to get PJs though!

Store located in the middle of the busy Metrocentre; it's not as large as the shop in the nearby…read moreTeam Valley retail world but it has a good selection. There's maternity and baby clothing, a toy section, nursery and feeding equipment and travel systems/buggies. It's one of the first places that many expectant parents go to when they're planning out their needs and it's a good place to start. The maternity clothing range isn't very exciting though not as frumpy as I remember it being a few years back and the quality is good. Their baby clothing is quite expensive, I think, including the new Baby K range from Myleene Klass. The store has two floors with stairs between and a lift in store for access between levels.
This store is smaller than some in the mothercare chain and as such sells a limited number of items…read morecompared to other stores, so if you're going for something in particular then I would recommend ringing in advance to make sure that they stock it. If you're not in a rush then they will order it online for you and deliver it to your home on standard delivery for free. However, they do have a good selection of basics including all of the ranges from feeding, bathing, sleeping, nursery items, maternity wear and products and gifts too. They also have a lot of pushchairs and buggies on display so you can see what you are buying. However, with it being inside the shopping mall i'm not certain how they go about checking the fit of carseats in your own car? although i have not asked about this. To be honest, i find that it is useful for smaller items but for anything larger or that i may need help with I always go to the larger store at the Team Valley after receiving extremely poor customers service at the metrocentre branch when my buggy needed repairing after only a few months. This may be because of the smaller size of the store, they have less staff, despite it still being very busy. This means that you often have to wait for an assistant and when you do get to speak to someone they are often rushing to get to speak to the next person waiting. Overall, I would say that the shop is very good if you know what you're after although I would go elsewhere or at a very quiet time if you think that you're going to need some advice.

Over the years, I have enjoyed many trips to various TK Maxx stores to browse for bargains. I…read moreespecially like the home section where you can find lots of baking tools and the "Mod Box" racks where I have found myself a good number of discounted David & Goliath t-shirts and cute Yumi dresses. TK Maxx is definitely a place to visit if you have a spare afternoon to go through the many racks for hidden gems in a big store. I was particularly excited to see a TK Maxx so close by and was eager to check it out. The store is spread over two floors with ladies fashion, accessories, children, shoes and toys on the the bottom floor and home and mens upstairs. It isn't a busy store so it is quite tidy. The pet section is spread out with the dog toys nicely organised (found a huge rope tug of war toy for the dogs for £4.99 that was very easy to get to) but strangely there are no poop bags in this section until you go to the tills downstairs. The clearance section was dissappointing; it was unnecessarily large for the few items that were there. Not only was it very empty, many of the discounted items were broken but still quite expensive. Although this store does stock similar items to the larger stores, the sizing is limited and the other departments in the store are also quite small. However, small doesn't mean bad! It's a good size as it wouldn't take that long to browse the store in its entirety, so it is still worth a visit if you have an hour to kill. Conveniently, it is right next to other similar discount stores such as SportsDirect, and if you get hungry, McDonald's is right outside. Plus, it is really easy to get to by car, public transport or walking from the nearby areas. Even though I am a big fan of TK Maxx and levitate towards the big red stores, I would however warn of the poor customer service provided at this particular branch. On both occassions, staff have been much more interested in talking amongst each other despite seeing you waiting to be served. When they do eventually serve you, they are completely disinterested in their job and are obviously annoyed by you tearing them away from their chit-chat. I'm not sure if these are just isolated incidents due to the times I visited but I do know that TK Maxx store assistants from other locations have been at least minimally friendly and customer servce assistants from the Kingston Park area are mainly nice. It's a shame but I won't be going there anytime soon. I hope the hiring manager recruits better staff for their Christmas temps they are currently hiring for.
