However the rest of it is not for me and it is a really tiny store. There used to be a larger store close by and that was much better. I feel like this store does not get enough business as it is positioned right next to the retail giant Primark.

Their windows are very well laid out showing a good range of their products. Ideal for looking at while your waiting for the bus. The prices are quite expensive but I think the quality makes up for it. Everything is always beautifully wrapped and packaged too. The women in there is very helpful and never makes you feel like you're bothering her which some people can be like in shop like this. The only down side is it closes quite early at half passed four.

Staff are lovely and friendly and well worth a visit even if its just to look about.

Why pay £4-5 for a card when you can pay £1! This Clinton's is a large store and does do some quality gifts and a wide selection of cards, it's just a shame it's so expensive. It's always clean and tidy, although can get messy during the busy periods of the year, but the staff do try hard!

I'm not usually a fan of Primark, but the Darlington store is impressive. Darlington is an…read moreaverage-sized town, yet its Primark store is one of the biggest I've seen, and it stocks a lot of items that I've only previously seen in the Oxford St, London store, such as its skincare ranges. The Primark store is now located in the Cornmill shopping centre, on the site of what once was, the C & A store, after moving from a location on the outskirts of town a few years ago. The Primark in Darlington is the first I'd ever heard of, a lot of years ago now, and before it ever became fashionable. The windows of the store always look inviting, with lots of models, male and female, young and old, sporting Primark's newest clothing ranges and accessories. At the entrance to the store there's usually a couple of sales racks, which does make the store look a bit cheap, in my opinion, but the rest of the store is well looked after, with tidy racks and rails and no clothes/hangers cluttering up the floors. This store has an extensive underwear and nightwear section on the ground floor as well. Upstairs, the menswear, childrenswear and Homeware are all squeezed on to one floor, so their ranges aren't quite as impressive as the women's, but there's still a decent level of stock, and it's all clean and tidy there too. This Primark does have a good selection of products that other Primarks I've visited don't have - the aforementioned 'smellies' and a gift section, with make-up sets and Christmas crackers.
