Not many people have heard of this store if they don't come from Bedford…read more It's quite a random shop in that it sells a huge range of items from older peoples fashion to teenagers fashion, homewear and make up and perfume! They always have good sales throughout the year. It has a cafe and hairdressers in and is spread over 3 floors. This store could be comared to the likes of Debenhams of House of Fraser. This place is ideal for gifts.

Beatties is a really nice department store that sells good quality items and has a really good…read morerange of products. They sell similar ranges to BHS and Marks and Spencers such as clothing and accessories, homewares and soft furnishings, gifts and seasonal items, but they also have fantastic cosmetics and perfume counters where you can get advice on skin care and make up and I believe that they do some demonstrations too. They often sell gift sets that are unavailable in other stores. The clothing ranges are split into departments for differnent ranges and designers and they offer clothing designers suitable for all age ranges. The store is a large one which has two floors accessible by an escalator. There is free parking in the Grosvenor centre where it is situated and the store can be accessed through two separate entrances. The store is nicely laid out and although some of the items may be a bit more expensive than smaller stores, they often sell things that you cannot get in other stores and it is a great place to pick up a variety of goods, so fantastic for Christmas shopping.

A few years ago Westgate was a dated department store. But since then, the store has been under…read moregoing major renovations and it really has stepped into the 21st century. First the ground floor was completed and currently the first floor is having improvements made. Part of the Co-operative, you can earn dividends on your purchases here. It is a major department store in Peterborough offering clothes, shoes, kitchtenware, electricals, bedding, funiture, carpets, perfume and toys. The brands tend be aim ed at the more mature shopper, but they are good quality and priced accordingly. For something a bit out of the oridinary compared to chain stores, this would be a good bet. Since the store improvements, it has ecome much more pleasant place to shop, as well as gaining a coffee shop. I would say it is a good alternative to the high street stores, or even the nearby John Lewis. The service is always friendly and helpful. This branch has a handy car park behind the store and is open late on Thursdays.

My main reason for visiting this department store is that I use the opticians located upstairs, I…read moreoccasionally shop here as well but not that often. The clothing ranges tend to be quite out dated as are the shoes. The toy department is sometimes worth a look around christmas time but everything tends to be quite expensive unless the sales are on. The best department, I feel, is homewear which has a good range of reasonably priced soft furnishings as well as a small range of bedroom and lounge furiture. There are often good deals on things like towels and bedding making it ideal for students moving to university or young people starting out on their own who are on a fairly limited budget but still want good quality stuff for the house. There is also a cafe which seems very popular with the over 50s and a travel agent as well as the opticians and hairdressers also located inside the store.

Oldrids has been in Boston FOREVER. I can remember going to the cafe upstairs with my mum when I…read morewas little and having a ham roll and a glass of milk before spending my birthday money in the AMAZING toy department. Nowadays I'm not so much for the toys, more for the kitchen bit downstairs, which is excellent, and the perfume department. I went in a couple of weeks ago and had a look at some fancy shoes but the two women at the till there looked at me as though I was a bag lady and needed ejecting. I felt very, very uncomfortable. I think it was because I was wearing linen trousers and flip flops and my hair was a bit messy, but whatever it was, it was like that bit in Pretty Woman where the shoplady is mean to the prozzie. Anyway, Oldrids is a well stocked, well laid out department store, which on the whole is deserving of a visit if you're on a shopping trip and need some knickers or tights or makeup or perfume or a griddlepan, and don't mind paying a bit more for it, or if you just want a cup of coffee in a place where you can peek out over the main pedestrian bit and laugh at the chavs, but beware the grumpy staff is all I'll say. Just to clarify, I'm not a prostitute.
