I always find Primark to be a bit of a mixed bag, sometimes you'll get a real bargain, others you'll get exactly what you pay for when only spending £3 on a piece of clothing.... This store offers that Primark gamble on an epic scale. Occupying a huge space at the west end of the Braehead shopping centre, this a store you could genuinely get lost in (I always make sure I have my mobile handy in case I get separated from my companions!)
There's everything you'd expect in such a huge Primark store, a huge selection of clothes in the Ladies, Gents and Children's sections as well as a variety of homewares. And although it's always a busy store it's relatively neat and thankfully not too much like a jumble sale, as some of their other locations can be, and the wait at the till isn't usually too long as there as two big banks of tills that are usually well staffed.
If you're heading in to browse, make sure you have plenty of time as there's lots of acreage to cover. This isn't something I've really indulged in as the Primark sizes are far from generous and the bigger ones are often in short supply. If you're a 6 or and 8 though you'll definitely be in luck! I mostly frequently the store as it's a great place for basic pieces, I'm a big fan of their long-sleeved tshirts, cardigans and hoodies. All available in a variety of colours and at great prices.
If you're lucky with the sizes it can also be a geeks paradise offering variety of comic book and media branded clothing. I've bought a couple of great Star Wars tshirts and a particularly awesome Batman one. They're all from the men's section though as women's ones available are always ridiculously small.
So in the end, it's a great place for the odd bargain, particularly wardrobe basics, but you'll find an equal amount of stuff disappointingly tiny or of not great quality. read more
