This Matalan store is far better than the one located in the centre of Southampton. Although it's…read moresmaller because it's only on one level, it's much easier to find what you're looking for because the clothes, etc are laid out in a way that allows you browse without confusion and there's also a fitting room should you wish to try something on. There is a small homewares section that sells smaller items such as vases, bathroom accessories, dining sets and the like. This store also sells gifts, CD's and DVD's (not new releases). The store itself is big, clean and open but unfortuantely there are often long queues at the checkouts. One of the benefits of this store is the free car park that serves the few shops in this small retail park.

There are a lot of checkouts at the front of the store, but normally only about 2 or 3 open - even when there is a big queue. The changing rooms are fine, nothing fancy but there is private space to get changed and mirrors to see yourself in. The clothes and shoes are very reasonably priced and cater to all tastes, young and old. This is something you don't see often in shops and it's nice to have somewhere where the whole family can go to shop and no one is bored! The homewares are again extremely good value for money, and modern and nicely designed. The DVD's are a bit hit and miss, sometimes you can get a good bargin but othertimes they can be a bit overpriced. The store is clean and tidy and well organised.

The service is second to none and the quality of the products is good. The shop is well managed and the staff always personable and very helpful. I have twin granddaughters and when it comes to birthdays and Christmas the website allied to the click and collect service is a godsend. They uphold an exceptionally high standard and I feel a five star rating is justified.

Theres hardly anything interesting in there to see, seeing as the larger department stores like Debenhams and BHS is in close reach. Beales has really outdated itself making itsself a failure. There product range is poor, the items are pricey, the customer service is very poor and all seem to be stuck up attitude. The interior design is extremely poor and lighting is bad. If this store doesn't improve, it will definitely go down hill.

The quality is pretty good for the price and some things go up to a size 24 which is quite unusual in cheaper shops. The staff are pleasant and always seem to be doing something around the shop. It is a tidy store but I do not like the way it is laid out. The shop is cramped and there is not a lot of room between the rails. I like the choice of womans wear but find the childrens clothes do not have a lot of choice.

It gets busy for a reason though, it is popular with people because there are so many bargains. The fruit and vegetables are very good, and there are loads of brand goods selling much cheaper than usual. The chiller cabinets host milk, yogurts, ham etc. There are gifts, crockery and stationery also for sale. Upstairs, there is furniture and soft furnishings. The shop doesn't provide carrier bags, but there is normally a good supply of boxes available, and you can take a trolley round with you which you don't have to find a £1 for! The stock does seem to change quite alot though, which can be a bit disappointing if you particularly like an item and then they stop doing it, so if you can, bulk buy your favourites!

I recently was looking for a sink plunger, found one in Woolworths for £4.99, walked over to Beamans who had on offer a bigger and better one for £1 so that was quite a saving. Saying that, you do have to be careful what you pick up because some stuff just 'looks' cheap, if you know what I mean and its for that reason I am very fussy about why I buy in there.
