A small newsagents in Warrington town centre, not too far away from Golden Square or Warrington…read moreCentral Station, you might be expected to wait outside the store due to the size of the store, I wouldn't expect to see more than 3/4 people inside the store due to its' size even when the pandemic is over. The staff did seem friendly and helpful. My check out experience was quick, and unlike some other small newsagents, they didn't have a problem giving me a receipt. Pricing was competitive in most areas, but some essentials such as milk were a tad overpriced. Many of the items which were priced at a competitive rate, had to be as many of the branded items had prices on the label which is what some brands do to protect their pricing strategy. There are no parcel facilities here which is surprising but there are other choices for this around Warrington such as Royal Mail at WHSmith, DPD at Millets, myHermes at Great Outdoors and Collect+ at the Golden Square Information area. Useful store to have in Warrington if you don't fancy going to the larger ASDA supermarket nearby. 3*

WHSmith seem to have stores everywhere these days, and that's why on a recent trip to Stoke…read moreon-Trent I knew I'd find one! This is quite a large store, even with a Post Office at the back and a good selection of stationary. As with most places in Stoke, I feel a review for this place is really needed, as they hasn't been one for over 7 years. It is actually quite an unusual time to be reviewing this store with its' closure confirmed in April, with a likely relocation on the cards, although one hasn't been confirmed, which is a shame, as based on my visit today, this seems to be one of their better stores. This store is a good size, and isn't too big either, it has a decent range of books, a good range of stationary and parcel equipment as well as maths sets, tutor books etc. The staff here seemed okay, they didn't really stand out, but they seemed polite. The store seemed quiet on my visit, with small numbers of staff and customers in the store, They had one self-service till, which makes me think as this store didn't really seem busy, maybe they are right to be shutting up shop soon, as they are not getting the customers in. It's in a mid-floor position in the Potteries center too, so it is in a good location and I feel too large of a store ruins the vibe a little, this store is slightly nicer and more modern than some of my local stores in Middleton,Manchester and The Manchester Arndale too. It's a nice store, with good selection and average staff and in a good location, it is just a shame about the pricing of certain items, but still deserves a solid 3!

The staff are pleasant and…read morevery helpful and there are enough of them to make shopping here a pleasant experience without pestering you. They sell a lot of things not available elsewhere but, as in another review, you have to buy what you want there and then, as it may not be on the shelves next time. As this is part of the Birchwood Shopping Complex, parking is excellent and the bus service can get you here from most parts of Warrington. See katiecoodles review for the sort of things they sell, she has summarised them perfectly.

This is one of my favourite bargainous shops. It is brilliant - although I have learnt that if you…read moresee something good you must buy it there and then cos their stock moves fast and they don't always have the same stuff in. They sell end of line stuff, and are particularly good for toys and packet foods. They also sell toiletries too which can be pricey in the supermarket but are around half the price in here.

All of the items are good quality despite being second hand.

The window displays tempted me inside to have a closer look. They have a huge variety of DVDS of many different BBC shows, cartoons, dramas and series. You name it, if its been on the BBC channels you can get it here. They also stock toys, gifts, t-shirts and gadgets related to the shows. The staff here are friendly and helpful. I went in for a present for a friend who is obsessed with Dr Who, and they showed me the huge range of Dr Who items they have, showing me the items that were rare and exclusive to the shop. They also have a large range of educational books, for example books to help GCSE students in the run up to exams. A great shop for presents for geeks.

I have never had much need to shop here personally, I must admit, but I don't watch much TV and I…read moredon't listen to BBC radio stations. However several of my family members are avid listeners of Radio Merseyside and find the merchandise sold here very appealing. I've always been of the opinion that one can buy most of the stuff in any media based shop or online retailer, however BBC shop is much more specialist and can order whatever you require, for example recordings for radio shows and several of the local based performers and presenters can be purchased here such as Billy Maher, Pete Price and Tom Slemen. While it is a little expensive, it may well be the only place you can buy a required item.

Oh right, so that's its name. To be honest despite years of this being my local newsagents I've…read morenever had a reason, nay the downright tenacity to glance up and get to know this place as anything other than that shop by mine that has everything. An outsider venturing here would fail to be impressed as it bears little difference to a billion little newsagents up and down the high streets of Britain but, for the most part, they're all equally brilliant. Where else can you burst in five minutes to closing time on a Christmas Eve demanding medium-slice bread and be answered with what you asked for, as opposed to a smack in the mouth? I'm just gutted I wasn't alive in 1905, when the building was used as a 'chronometer manufactory'. What the hell do either of those two words mean? Answers on a postcard.
