WHSmith's branch on Fargate in Sheffield is one of the larger stores in Sheffield centre, it's a fairly cool branch.
I came in here to take a quick look around, and possibly purchase a beverage. They were selling Fuzetea for £1 each which is a pretty average price at most retailers including Superdrug and the Co-operative Food, however, this (like most of their drink prices) worked out between 50-80% cheaper than at Boots which is basically at the other side of the square.
The staff seemed nice enough, there was a small checkout area both a manned checkout and a few self-service tills which were pretty handy.
I would have preferred to see a Post Office in this branch as Sheffield city centre doesn't have too many and feel it would be a much better location and be better suited to this store, compared to the Wilko store, as a bonus. WHSmith does already operate a vast amount of Post Offices in their stores across the network including in Liverpool, you can post things here with DHL but I find DHL to be much more expensive than virtually any other provider.
The drink selection could have been improved by stocking other brands of Iced Tea, it seems to favour drinks from the Coca Cola company as a whole, also lacking choice from other brands which compete, which is a shame.
3* - Pretty average store, albeit one of my favourite stores in Sheffield's city centre (excluding Meadowhall) read more
