Orchard Square is a small open shopping centre in Sheffield's city centre, it for sure doesn't…read morecompare with Meadowhall which is around 10-15 minutes away on the Supertram and the largest shopping centre in Yorkshire and Humber, and it just seems to be declining more and more of late, with the Starbucks also closing down meaning the only Starbucks directly in the city centre nearby is a terrible, overpriced franchise store. It only has 27 stores according to its' website including TK Maxx, Waterstones, Schuh and Costa, but I'd even say 27 is a stretch now. Over the years, Orchard Square has declined so much that even when you're in Orchard Square, it would be quite easy to not even know you're in a shopping centre or street for that matter at all, no staff were around the square to offer assistance either. A place one would pass through, often reluctantly while in Orchard Square to visit a small selection of stores, not even worth being known as a shopping centre anymore for any logical reasoning. 1*

Meadowhall is a large shopping centre, located just 3 miles away from Sheffield city centre, or 2…read moremiles away from Rotherham town centre. It is the largest shopping centre in the Yorkshire and the Humber region and the 12th largest in the UK overall by retail space, at time of writing (October 2021) - if the planned improvement works happen the centre could be expanded to become the fourth largest in the country. The mall is easily accessed by all modes of public transportation: There is a public transport interchange for trains (as far as Manchester and Cleethorpes), there are also Sheffield Supertram and bus services, serving the centre, not forgetting the 12,000 parking spaces up for grabs. There are multiple places to eat inside the centre's Oasis Dining Quarter including branches such as Friday's, KFC, McDonald's, Nando's, Pizza Express, Subway, Tapas Revolution and Wagamama. If you're looking for coffee, there are multiple branches of Starbucks, a Caffe Nero and some of the department stores here have their own Cafes. The majority of the centre feels modern, there are many large shops including Apple, Marks and Spencer, Primark and Next and even a barber and a VUE Cinema. The loss of Debenhams has hit the centre hard, which was one of the largest anchor stores of the mall. My biggest problem with this is you now have to walk all the way around the car park to get into the centre from the South Tinsley tram stop because the store is closed, that just seemed dangerous and not very well sign-posted for me. I feel they should have kept a walkway open to allow safe and confusion-free access into the centre. 4*

The Lanes. The food court itself is not bad for a shopping meal..lots of noodles or pizza and an all day breakfast place amongst them. The little shops have ethnic goods, an old fashioned toy shop and film memorabiliaThe Last Picture Show. There is also jewellery (Cleopatras is nice), a hobby shop, a watch hospital and a fairy shop. Arkwrights Emporium has all the old nostalgic stuff people love..great for gifts..including Gollies. Beatles stuff Marilyn Monroe, Laurel and Hardy. Audrey Hepburn, model cars and tractors, signs with a message, and branded stuff like BETTY BOOP. GUINNESS. JACK DANIELS. JOHN DEERE etc. These little shops are, for me, the best part of Meadowhall.

For me, one thing I hate about TKMaxx is that they tend to resemble a jumble sale, mainly of tatt, but this branch which surprisingly hasn't been reviewed since Qype days eleven years ago is an example for stores in that sense, that becoming more modern, and spacious of course increases customer satisfaction and the overall experience. I didn't find much staff around the shop floor, which was a shame. They had two sets of dressing rooms, I presume for men and women which was handy. The selection was pretty much average for a store of its' size, the location is in Sheffield city centre close to Waterstones in Orchard Square is good too. Pretty much average clothing store, albeit it is one of the best TKMaxx stores I have visited. 3*

I do feel they could have put each brand together, rather than having two sections even for the same type of clothing (shirts, jackets) which was a little strange, and making sure the branding was clear so you can see from a distance without having to look around a store for your favourite brand would be a good improvement. The staff did seem OK, far from the best or the worst I've had in a Tessuti store, but this was surprisingly good compared to other stores within the shopping centre. Pretty average store, yet you can get some decent finds if you call in at the right time. 3*
