Deepdale Shopping Park, often styled as just Deepdale Shopping is a large retail park in Preston,…read morelocated on Blackpool Road it is basically opposite Deepdale Football Stadium, home to Preston North End Football Club. The location of Deepdale Shopping is good, it has a large amount of car parking too, and the location makes it a good spot if you want to spend some time after the match, perhaps to get a drink or something to eat while waiting for traffic to die down a bit, I've never attended a game at Deepdale but as a 25,000 or so capacity stadium, it must be quite hard getting in and out of the stadium and surrounding area on a matchday. Shops here include Sports Direct, TUI, O2, WHSmith and JD Sports, although one thing I dislike about this retail park is the overall layout, it makes certain stores hard to find and some of which seem to be slightly just outside the retail park, and closer to Blackpool Road its-self, examples of this include Starbucks and Currys PC World, I must also add the Starbucks branch here is a franchise store (and quite a poor one - there is a seperate review for that if inteested) so do be expected to pay higher prices if visiting that one! In terms of food outlets, there is only a small selection, yet this includes one of two Nando's branches in Preston, this one (in-fact both of them) serve halal chicken only, other restaurants here include Frankie and Benny's and Pizza Hut. KFC and Subway also have bases here. Interestingly, the Starbucks doesn't seem to be classed as inside the retail park although it is basically right next to it and requires little walking to get there from the retail park, depending whereabouts in the retail park you are of course Like most retail parks, parking here is free and you should be able to park relatively close to most shops, depending on demand, although this probably might be tricky at peak time and Preston home match-days. Due to certain issues with the overall layout and feel of Deepdale Shopping, I feel it only deserves a two-star rating.

Fishergate Shopping Centre is a shopping centre located in Preston city centre, it is one of the…read moremany shopping centres in such a small area which also includes a shopping street, which this is located on, in the city. It opened in 1986 and it's main stores include Debenhams, TJ Hughes, Primark, TK Maxx, Argos, Poundland and Sports Direct. The layout of the mall is slightly confusing in terms of "store levels" and could mean you go in on the third level, despite having three levels the mall isn't huge, and I'd say it is on the smaller side, although it does have a satisfactory range of shops. Other places here include a Starbucks, which was the first thing I noticed as I walked into Fishergate, it seemed like quite a nice branch, although having been to Starbucks at Deepdale on Blackpool Road earlier, I did not call in to the Starbucks here today, other non-shops here include Mcdonald's and I presume there is a Debenhams Cafe here. Overall, the range of selection here including dining is bad, so bad in-fact, even someone from the mall advised me to go elsewhere due to such limited selection. This mall, doesn't feel like one for a large city, and more of a small town, so I'm struggling in terms of determinating a rating for Fishergate, yet still, it is a decent addition to Preston city centre, yet isn't the best place to shop (most certainly it isnt the best to eat), so warrants a two-star rating which is slightly generous, but more deserved and appropiate than a single one-star rating.

What's not to love about TK Maxx? Situated near the Fishergate shopping Centre and Preston Railway…read morestation this shop really does have it all. if you are prepared to root that is. TK Maxx is a discounter selling last seasons designer gear for discounted prices. This means that often the sizing will be a bit funny so make sure you try everything on if you don't fancy a return visit. They stock womens, mens, kids and household items and if you keep your eyes peeled you can bag some amazing bargains. However don't forget your head, check all items for faults as some can be a bit shoddy. However I have had amazing shoes, handbags and clothes from there. I always go midweek as weekends it gets crazy. Well worth a visit if you want designer style at high street prices

As such it sells all items stocked from Marks and Sparks and covers a very wide variety. There is a decent size resteraunt on the top floor where the toilets are also located. It is very clean, has esculators and lifts and the staff were very helpful (even though the store was full with it being just after christmas and in the height of the sales). The womenswear was on the bottom floor, mens on the second and homwea, toys and electrical items all on the second floor. A very impressive store if you have a fondness for Marks & Spencers.
