TK Maxx is one of those shops where you go in needing nothing and come out hold loads of things you really needed. On the ground floor is ladies clothes, handbags and purses, all shoes, kids clothes, toys, toiletries and seasonal stuff. Upstairs is mens clothes, home ware, books, towels and luggage. To get upstairs you have a choice of lift or stairs. You will find loads of big names and some you have never heard of. I never expect to find great bargains but you will find stuff below the normal price and the choice is amazing where else could you go to find an orange frying pan? There is no toilet at the retail park except for the one in Pizza Hut and I do not like to go in there just to use the loo and they are not always open.

So i alwasy go on a week day as the store doesnt shut until 7pm so plenty of time after work to go there with no queues to sit in! Its a large store with toys and womenswear on the ground floor and menswear and homeware upstairs. This store always seems to be in a mess when i go in there, items laying on the floor covered in dust. I rarely buy clothing from here as i still find the prices are quite expensive!

I have not been in this store for ages but wanted to dress up as a fairy for Halloween and went in…read moretry and find something and I did. There is an amazing range of clothes in store from causal to something for the christmas party all at great prices and good quality as well. They also sell shoes but I think these look at a bit cheap and tacky. They need to sort out the queuing system as there is not one so sometimes there is a bit of unintentional pushing in and a few more staff would be useful. Though this is consider a store for the younger generation there is always a good mix of ages in there so don't feel you will be the odd one out if you are a bit older.

It also has a great range of shoes at the end of the store. All with great low prices. The only downside to the store is the terrible lighting it has, its so bright in the store i often feel dizzy when i go in. And the queuing system isnt very clear, there isnt one!
