This is a shopping centre in Bellshill. It contains a number of shops including a florist, a…read moreChrismas gift store, a shoe shop, a hairdressers, a jewellers, a pet shop, a cafe, a butchers, a general store and a clothes shop. The clothes for sale in the clothes shop are a little out of date. and are certainly not the kind of fashionable item you would find in most high street stores. However the clothes are all of a reasonable quality and wearable items can be found. The cafe is very basic and not particularly good. It sell basic items like a fried breakfast, rolls on sausages, and chips.

I'm totally in agreement with both of the other reviews for this place - it's so bad. The most…read moreuseful thing in here is probably Argos, and that's saying something. At one point there was an upstairs indoor market where loads of little stalls had various things on offer, from trinkets to paintings, and it was quite popular. Since that disappeared I've probably made an appearance in here once, and that was to walk through to get to the other side.

The New Cross Shopping Centre has been in Hamilton for years and years. It used to house a massive…read moreSomerfield store and a butchers, and not much else. Newly refurbished in 2004, it now holds the same butchers, no Somerfield and...well, not much else. There is a nice new shiny floor and automatic doors though, and a sit in Greggs the Bakers. That's about the highest accolade i can give the place. I still tend to walk through here though, and i have no idea why. Perhaps to see if it has magically turned into somewhere with good shops overnight, or maybe just to remind myself what a pointless place it is. Every single tome i have been, it's literally like a ghost town, with the majority of people here being employees. They did try to make the upstairs section into a market once, but that quickly petered out, and so the cycle of shops opening and swiftly closing three weeks later began, and hasn't stopped since. There is a big Savers in here which is good for toiletries, and an Argos, a Peacocks and Bon Marche, but other than that...it's empty. Give this one a miss...although if it's raining it gives a good bit of shelter between the bus station and the Regent Centre...that's it's only saving grace!

They have a big yankee candle section and loads of lovely little gifts that i havnt seen anywhere else. I picked up a few last min xmas presents.

The great thing about this Matalan is the size. It's huge! It was made even bigger a couple of…read moreyears ago when a new section, M Party, was joined onto the store, making it one of the biggest units in the retail park. The thing I never really understand about Matalan is the need for cards. Why do they have them? It used to be that you had to have a card to buy anything, but on my more recent visit, I noticed they had slackened up on that, and it's now used for more of a rewards card than store ID. This store has everything; kids, women's and men's clothes, shoes and home ware. They have a brilliant underwear section and sell branded bras at less than half price. They even have Calvin Klein boxers at £9 a pack, which is less than half price, ideal for Xmas or Birthday pressies! I used the services that M Party provides for my 21st birthday party, and had cream and pink balloons with lovely little shimmery weights and bits and bobs for decorating the hall, all for under £100, which was amazing value! You have to collect the balloons yourself but that wasn't a problem. They have table decorations, age specific decorations and buffet ware, which is all fairly priced and available in every colour imaginable! They also make up banners if you want them, although I felt they were a bit pricey. Huge store with loads of bargains! The clothes in Matalan are getting nicer by the season, and I would highly recommend it for summer holiday clothes.

This used to be Focus DIY before it lay empty for quite a while. It then became a hive of activity…read moreand there from the ashes of Focus arose a B&M Home Stores. Yay! Says me! Bargains-a-go-go! As Focus was huge I was expecting good things from B&M and I was not disappointed. There is plenty of groceries, beauty and cosmetics, baby stuff, toys, home furnishings, DIY and an outside section for garden products, which they've kept from Focus. The prices are mighty good and I thought that this year I would do a little bit of Christmas shopping here for a change. I noticed while I was in Asda that they sold some of the same products but B&M was much much cheaper. They have a good selection but I have to admit I did struggle for the men in my family, all the ladies and babies are sorted but I'll need to go elsewhere to sort out the menfolk presents. I've been popping in over the few months it's been open and I've always managed to get the bits and bobs I've needed. It's very handed as it's only minutes drive down the road from me. More and more of these B&M stores are popping up and I have to say they are rather good.

She has a nice shop and keeps a good stock of good gift watches for £10 or less, all are gift boxed and perfect for a small gift. She also keeps some pocket watches and its one of the few places outside the argyle arcade in Glasgow I've seen these. The other shops vary wildly, there was a mobility shop there last time I went, a pound store (but frankly Poundland further along is much better), a make up shop (again you'd be better off in either semi-chem or poundland) and a clothing stall.

They stock a range of clothes from casual jeans and tops to smart trousers and work clothes. They also have a range of shoes and bags to help finish off your new look. The sale racks tend to be located near the door as you walk in and the staff are friendly enough. It is one of the closest Dorothy Perkins store as the one in East Kilbride is now closed other than that your other best options are Glasgow.
