This is a smallish shop which is part of the well known national chain of the same name. They offer…read moreeye examinations, advice and all of the associated items that come with that - glasses frames, different lenses, designer brands as well as value ranges so something to suit everyone. Not the biggest choice i've seen but it suffices. The staff are proffessional, if at times a little unfriendly. The appointments for eye tests can be booked or you can drop in on the off chance of there being an appointment available. In my experience it is definately best to book as i have never been able to be seen immediately when i have just popped in. But i guess that bodes well as they must be good if they are booked well in advance.

Everything you would expect from going into a 'Boots' store. Is a fairly large store that has a…read moregood range of cosmetics, electrical items and baby stuff. Christmas always brings a large selection of the 3 for 2 gift deals, making things a lot more reasonable. Also has an opticians (very friendly) and a photo processing area where not only is it one of the few places left that does hourly processing in town, it also has a number of digital photo booths where you can print your own. I would say though, that the quality of photos is not brilliant. Helpful staff that will always do their best to reduce queuing times and, in a store like this where it is easy to get lost trying to find something, they will always assist in the search! Although it can be more expensive than, say Superdrugs, there are often fantastic deals and offers, and the advantage card system is brilliant.

My biggest gripe with the shop is that there are NEVER enough staff on the tills, particularly on a Saturday when Eastbourne town centre is heaving. Today they had three people serving in the middle of the afternoon and a long snaking queue that went considerably beyond the queueing area. They have recently installed 'self checkouts' at the Terminus Road end of the store, presumably so they can employ even fewer staff members! Actually it makes the situation worse because many people do not seem able to use the checkout machines properly and need assistance, which takes longer than it would to be served by a real life person! Having moaned about all of that, as a brand I think Boots is great. Their parenting club in particular is very helpful for parents and the Advantage Card system is very generous compared to other loyalty card schemes. I just wish this branch would employ a few more staff.

Stuff for the house is what its best for in my opinion, so if you have just moved house and are lacking kitchen stuff or cushions, get down there. But they also have clothes, sometimes OK brands, which you can pick up really cheap. Its definitely worth a look.

My experienc e of this store is a pleasant one. We stayed a couple of nights in Eastbourne and went…read moreto have look round. Not bad. I have read the other reviews but cannot agree with all. This store caters for most budgets and it should be remembered that the present economic climate creates the need for bargains. These can be found here. All manner of stock can be found here and at reasonable prices.
