I love Next, but since the new one opened on the Greyhound park I tend to find that I spend more of my time on that one, unless I'm in town and don't want the hassle of travelling to the retail park. The only reason I prefer the other one, apart from the fact that it's bigger and offers more choice, is because it gets SO busy that at times you can barely move and the room between clothes rails to move around shop is really tiny. There's two floors to this one, women's clothes and children's clothes with shoes downstairs and men's clothes and home accessories up stairs. I wish there were more tills as it tends to be the queues that take up a lot of space when you're trying to pass, although the children's section at the back is a lovely area and a bit better spaced out and not as busy.
When it comes to their clothes and quality however, you can't go far wrong and the staff are really helpful. It's a just a shame that the shop is so small ( but then lots are in certain areas of Chester city centre due to the old Roman shop sizes, so it's something you have to give up to keep the history in place. ) Therefore if you like more space I'd try the Next on the Greyhound retail park instead, but the staff and products themselves are great in this outlet in the Chester City centre also !! read more
