Not the largest of shopping centres, but it is the largest indoor shopping area within Shrewsbury…read moretown centre and it does have some good brands including WHSmith, Primark, Marks and Spencer as well as Costa, JD Sports and a few others, most of the larger stores can also be accessed through street entrances on Pride Hill. There was a lack of signage around the malls, such as a plan, I didn't even realise what floor I was on due to mismatched numbering in the lifts, no "mall staff" around made it a little more difficult. While most of the units were taken up, the same can't be said about the other shopping centres in the town so that's a bonus, the mall just had a bare/empty feel and it felt like there was a lot of blank empty space which could be utilised better. Decent shopping space within Shrewsbury, I do prefer the shops in the town centre and elsewhere, as this only consists of 17% of retail units within the town. 3*

The store sells the returns and over stocks from the popular QVC shopping channel. It could almost be described as a santas grotto as you dont always know what your going to get. The prices are excellent, the quality is the same as you would be purchaseing from the QVC channel. If the item in store is a particulr bargain then the store does limit the item to a maximum of 3 per person. t

It sells anything that has been overstocked or hasn't sold on the QVC shopping channel and I know some people have good wonderful bargains out of there althoguh it is possible to get things cheaper elsewhere so is best if you know what prices you can get elsewhere.

Their label list can be considered equal to that of the most excellent pieces you'd expect to find in London, New York or Paris. The shop itself is an interesting walk-through. Each room as a set staged with it's own personality (era specific) all highlighting a new season, usage, label and/or aesthetic. What's on this glamorous menu? Acqua di Parma Armani Belstaff Burberry (excellent selection) Canali C.P. Company Citizens of Humanity Eton (No, not that Eton) Holland Esq. Hugo Boss Oliver Sweeney Montcler Mulberry (a wonderful, traditional and established label not yet well known in the States). Perry (not just the Mod polo shirts) Paul Smith Tod's etc. The staff are hip and upscale. As an American I won't deny getting the feeling the gentlemen working here had been butlers in a past life - much more than simple salesmen. Well done, Sirs. Very well done.

Marks and Spencer's Shrewsbury location is quite a large store for a small town, although the…read moreconstruction is a little strange due to it being an old building, they have tried to make the store as accessible as they can, such as with a stair-lift to get into the Food Hall, or there are around 5/6 steps and of course, the main store has lifts and escalators. Probably the first Marks and Spencer locations I've visited which isn't a Food Only store to not have basic facilities such as car parking and toilets. The staff did seem friendly enough, and all in all this store isn't too bad for a small town but there are multiple branches nearby which are considerably better in terms of facilities, even beyond the basic facilities which store fails to offer and selection. 3* - It is one of the better/larger stores in the town centre despite criticisms mentioned, I like how you can access it through Darwin Shopping Centre or street level on Pride Hill.
