When this department store opened it was really a new beginning for shopping in Weymouth and in the…read moreyears since its opening, a host of fashionable big name shops have suddenly opened here. Although this isnt the largest branch of Debenhams out there, it certainly ticks the boxes that any good department store should tick. It is in the town centre so easily accessible by foot and by bus and there is a large car park out the back. There is good disabled access and lifts inside. The range of clothing is excellent in all areas of ladies, mens and childrenswear, there is a good choice of accessories and footwear as well as homewares. Upstairs there is a cafe and a branch of Early Learning Centre which keeps the kids entertained on an otherwise dull shopping trip.

This department store called Debenhams is a rather large looking store based in the centre of…read moreWeymouth town centre. Its located is very close to the carpark and buses. There are two floors to this department store, and each level has different products. Upstairs they have the small coffee shop which can get very busy. The toliets always seem to be broken and there's always a massive queue! Also amongst the top floor they sell childrenware, homeware and some ladies wear. Downstairs they sell ladies, mens and cosmetics and jewellery. The layout inside is always changing and sometimes when you want some help on the shop floor there never is anyone on hand to help or they end up passing you onto someone else from 'that' department, yet they all work under one roof! Overall they do sell 'some' nice items, now and then a bit pricey but throughout the year they do some good sales.

I love visiting this store when I am staying with relatives in Dorset. There are numerous books…read moreincluding a large selection of childrens's books, fiction, reference and many non fiction books. There are cards and wrapping paper and art and craft supplies. The best thing is they are all at discounted prices! Ideal for buying childrens presents or buying items for party bags, I wish we had the works store in my home town!

The gift toiletries are beautifully packaged, including Isle of Arran's After the Rain range, which I absolutely love. There's Emma Bridgwater crockery (the chunkiness of which I absolutely adore, and which indicates that I am in the type of shop I like, although I've never found an exact design that I would want to buy). There are suitable gifts for the 'older' and sometimes more difficult generation. The shelf of handkerchiefs was prettily arranged; do people still buy these? Birthday and occasion cards are high quality and classy designs, including 3-D cards. The staff smiled and said thank you as we left the shop, which is something to remark upon in this day and age

I quite like this Peacocks store in Weymouth. It is very well presented when you walk into the shop…read moreand everything looks sparkling, bright and clean. There is lots of different variety of clothing to choose from and is clearly marked with sizes on the hangers. The downside I would say is not enough homeware items and the customer service is extremely poor. There's hardly any staff working there, so the queue can be quite a long time. However the clothes are of good value.

Sharing premises with its sister shop, Burton Menswear, it is not exactly a huge outlet of the well…read moreknown ladies clothing retailer, but it does have a reasonable range of clothing at average prices. Located right in the middle of St Marys Street, which is right in the centre of town, it is extremely easy to find, but can get very crowded on busy days. Their clothing range is quite middle of the road, with a number of classic lines of standard trousers, skirts and tops - ideal for the office, but there are some more fashionable pieces in there. This branch stocks a very limited range of their speciality lines such as Petites.

Quite a small branch of this youthful fashion retailer at the newer end of town situated in the…read morepleasant pedestrianised zone around Debenhams. Being in the heart of town, this shop is easy to get to from both local car parks and buses and is surrounded by a nice mix of other pleasant shopping. The lines stocked by this store are at average price and are aimed at the younger customer with a more high fashion outlook. It sells a good range of going out clothes and jeans but selection for those who are larger in size or petite in height is distinctly lacking. Very little for the older customer - definitely one for the teens to twenties.

This is a mall but packed shop, full of fabrics of all kinds. Yesterday they were having a sale…read more I love fabrics - all the different textures and colours, patterns. I could spend ages just feeling the stuff! I would have liked to have spent longer in here, and didn't really have time to make any decisions - just as well as I'm having a mini credit crunch of my own! This is a 'must revisit'. I'm just reall glad to know it's there.
