It is only very small but the shop is chock-a-block with sweets, papers, milk and other refridgerated drinks, crisps and sweets. The prices of papers etc are of course standard but sweets and crisps etc can be a bit cheaper than some of the other paper shops dotted around the town.

While in the deserted Galleries shopping centre in Wigan, I called in The Works. This store is…read morestandard size for a store in this franchise. This store is known for having some good deals although the majority of the things in here seemed like junk to me, I managed to pick up a few French accesories, for prices actually cheaper than Amazon and they are good, helpful products. They also do similar things for Spanish. The staff could appear to be friendly, I could tell slightly she did not like me asking multiple questions because I didn't notice that passion, like she doesn't like her job, I asked her about what was in the shopping centre, and she seemed empty with ideas and I asked her about their plans to move into the new complex, and she didn't really know of any. To be honest, a first time Wigan visitor like myself who has spent a day revising the town, had a better knowledge. This store is in a deserted shopping centre what for some reason seemed quite busy so I can't rate it too highly on destination, they was a few nice products but the rest I feel are just junk and the staff could show better knowledge and passion therefore I feel 2 stars is a fair rating.
