    Well the Paisley centre hardly the new harrods infact hardly the new anything…read more The shopping centre is old and seems very tacky to be fair , their isnt a lot in the shopping centre you have a lot of individual cafes, junk shops, card shops, phone shops, you also have a butchers, fishmongers, fruit & Veg shop, but with the likes of M&S being inside the centre this doesnt help the small businesses much and neitheir does having a morrisons near by. It also has a big Co-operative department shop which i am suprised is even still their if you look at the prices of items in the store. But it does have a nice cafe on the bottom floor and a thorntons and mcdonalds other than this its nothing special. The centre to be fair doesnt have much life even though it is in the centre of paisley. It could be doing with some better shops in their and a bit of life adding to it. But with Braehead being a short distance away i cant see this ever happening. Overall Good Location Poor Atmosphere Poor Selection of Shops Badly Outdated

    There's not much in Paisley these days. Braehead pretty much killed busy Saturday's and the fact…read morethat the council still insist on charging for parking on a Saturday means there's unlikely to be a drastic improvement soon. The Paisley Centre suffers from a few empty units but the gem is the InShops. The InShops are full of little independent retailers - butchers, fish stall, cafes, furniture, nail bar, and a watch repairers. I always pop in here for repairs to my watch as the work is great and really cheap. The M&S has went from being a normal store to being an Outlet store, which is full of M&S products which have been highly discounted. There is also a foodhall full of M&S goodies. The Paisley Centre is ok - it could do with more filled units, but the InShops are worth checking out.

    The Piazza is the worst shopping centre I have ever been in. It's a shame really because I remember…read morewhen I was younger and I was living in a village in between the centre of Glasgow and Paisley town centre and at that time Paisley was a thriving, busy town with lots of shops. When I was about 13 my mum started letting me get the bus into Paisley with my friends to go around the shops because we were still a bit young to be let lose in big scary Glasgow! Nowadays though it's only really the Piazza that's left and the shops are horrible. There are lots of pound shops and bad ones at that! In terms of fashion, the most on trend stores include DR, Bonmarche, Ethel Austin and The Knitwear Gallery which says it all really! It is mostly older people who live in Paisley that shop in the Piazza as it really isn't worth the journey in from anywhere else in the Glasgow area.

    I'll admit that I usually only come in here to use the loo as there isn't much else going for it…read more The few shops that occupy the center sell clothes for example Peacocks, international and Mackays, food well you'll be wanting Aulds, BB's cafe or the Co-operative then. For every occasion there is a reasonably priced card shop and for everything else there is Poundland and Homezome oh and if you're into arts and crafts or reading the Works is a nice substitute to the local more expensive WH Smith. I'm giving this 2 because I remember when I was little that there was such more variety of shops.

    B&M - B&M store opening soon next to Tesco Linwood

    The new kid on the block which recently opened within one of the previously empty units next to…read moreTesco Linwood, . With a "sister" B&M store not far away in the Phoenix retail park Linwood/Paisley (not far from ASDA) I was wondering what the difference was? Compared to other B&M's I've visited, this is a lot brighter store, with almost an old style supermarket feel, except that the shelves are stacked as high as possible with goods, presumably because it's just opened it's doors. The rang is pretty much the same range as the other B&Ms I've visited, just in a smaller space. Unlike it's nearest "sister" store it doesn't have an outdoor garden section or a furniture section, but apart from that, it stocks most of the same items at prices that challenge the big supermarkets in the area. As long as you're a smart shopper and watch out for the odd price that is just that little bit more expensive that the usual, it's worth a visit to stock up on the odd item or two. My only gripe with this store is the automatic doors which, despite being brand new, take an age to open. This may put some people off going in and others frustrated as they try to leave, for me (being a quick walker) it meant that I had to stop myself from going head first into them only to realise, taking a step back and then standing like a security guard during a Black Friday sale, whilst they eventualy opened.

    When I heard this store was opening in a long time empty unit, I was a little surprised, as there…read moreis another B&M less than a mile away. The store itself is bright and well laid out, friendly staff, with tattoos and piercings all on show, which I'm a big fan of, I like a company who let their staff express themselves! The store is a B&M 'bargain' store, I'm not exactly sure what the difference is between a 'regular' store and this one, but it seems to sell mostly the same items. It's closes at 8pm Monday to Friday which is acceptable, but 6pm on Saturday and Sunday seems a little early. Other than the opening hours, I find this a fantastic little store, with plenty choice of bargains to be had.

    What can you say about a chain supermarket that hasn't been said already?…read more Well I've been using this ASDA since it opened (even worked there when it opened) and it's changed a lot. It has everything from the usual clothes, food, electricals etc to a pizza counter, fish counter (in store) as well as an optician, photo processing and pharmacy (past the tills). There appear to be 3 areas dedicated to promotions. The first to the left of the Produce (fruit & veg), then in the middle of the store (till side) and then the back wall (beside the frozen food). Saying that the prices go up and down like a yo-yo so you have to watch whether things are really the best price or not, however with current competition the prices are usually on the low side. There is a "Grocery Collectuon" point at the back of the ample car park, for people who have ordered on-line and don't want to go into store (not really that busy). Overall it's like most larger size stores but not as wide a range as other stores (Govan or Cumbernauld), a good all rounder.

    Ahh good old Asda! I do my weekly shop at this Asda as I find it to be the cheapest of the…read moresupermarket chains and this branch is huge. I always go in for food but spend at least 45 minutes wondering around the George section then meandering over to the books and magazines taking a detour past the DVDs and Cd's. Eventually thought I do reluctantly go and get some food. This Asda is open 24 hours which is great for me because I am an incredibly impatient shopper and can't stand crowds so I tend to go late at night when this place is more or less dead. I know the self service till things are hated by many but I love them because it means I don't need to actual speak to any of the mutant staff, phew! The only real issue I have with this Asda are the fegs, let me explain what these are. In England they have chavs but in Scotland we have neds. However in the Ferguslie area of Paisley (which is right beside this Asda branch) we have an extra strong breed of ned known as the feg. They run riff in Asda but if you go late at night but not tooooo late, say around 9 o'clock you can usually avoid them.
