Chas Ohlson is half Ikea and half Argos with maybe a shmear of sporting goods and stationery store…read morethrown in. They don't have everything, but they do have lots of stuff you simply will not find elsewhere. Cleanly organized with computers available to do searching, the departments are easily laid out by category and the items are clearly priced and displayed nicely. Not like the usual department store lay out or even like a supermarket lay out, it's got that Ikea flavor where the shopping space is laid out in a large oval with different offshoots. Like Ikea. Too many departments to accurately describe, you probably should just look at their web page. I saw paper shredders and tents and even two man inflatable boats, plus hardware and tools, home appliances and an amazing assortment of tv cables.

Like on of those stores where everyone could find something to buy if they so desired. It reminds a bit of pound land and dollar stores but with a bit nicer goods, so perhaps a 2 poundland. Worth a gander if you need to pick up something cheap or have some time to kill.

Only 1.5 hours free parking allowed on some random days without any sign neither at the car park…read moreentrence no at the shop door. You only know when receive a parking charge. Appealed with a receipt for four heavy doors worth over 100 pounds. Received a reply - We Are Not Genuine Customers !!!!! And a photo of thier signs which we did not see.. Gone there to check - first one had to know which day is the local football. Second no signs at the shop door, or where you got a shopping trolleys or at car park enterence or exit. Signs are at footpasses to get out to the footbal ground and at random posts further from the shops. Clearly if you genuine shopper you got no chance to avoid the charge. Mind it is very remote and there is no other parking to use other than paid football car parks!!! Next time we shopped on saturday we had to pay 8 pounds to park at a football car park and carry very heavy things back half a mile. Asked the manager to help with arranging some packing to help to carry that distance. They are simply rude. It is clearly our fault we came to shop. And it our problem if we bought stuff which is heavy while they provide no parking to allow enough time yo shop never mind to buy a sandwich to snack. And for laugh - their car park was EMPTY !!! Surely who can manage to shop within that limit? Rude arrigant greedy people with total absence of any common sense just enjoying making people uncomfortable and angry. Just to not go there.
