Dixon is situated at the top end of Pydar Street. It is a shop selling similar items to Currys and Comet but at higher prices. The shop is very tacky inside and as the staff are on a battle for comission they can be really pushy. read more

Needed to walk in buy it and leave as difficult keeping a 2 year old safe in an appliance shop. However it wasn't quite that easy. Arrived to a manager going for his break and handing over to another member of staff. They spent 20 minutes supporting another family who didn't know what they wanted. They did check the stock for us on the item but couldn't serve us as the where handing over for break and serving this other family. The other person who working the TV section had spoke to everyone else browsing except us. 40 minutes later and the manager was returning from break and we're still stood waiting with a toddler who is about to wreck the joint. Given my partner was now cross he approached the manager and told him if we didn't have a TV purchased in 5 minutes we where leaving. How strange that within 5 minutes a TV was in the car. Shocking service - Confused if they want to make money or just help people browsing. Could have got it more easily offline but wanted to support local business. Back to online shopping next time. Small car park.

However this car park fills very quickly at peak times so I would recommend getting there early. The store itself is quite large with a balcony above the shop floor where there is a Moban shop. There is also and enclosed plant section on the side of Homebase. The staff are usually quite helpful and the prices are quite average. If you are doing up your house I would recommend looking in Homebase to buy your materials as they do have a lot of DIY goods.

I bought my most recent phone from here and found the shop overall to be very good. The prices are slightly higher than on over networks on pay as you go but there are ways to save money. If you are already a O2 pay as you go sim card with credit, it is worth looking here as they let me get a new phone without a new sim card for cheaper. Another way to save money is to bring in an old phone to trade in, they will then take £10 off the price of your new phone and send the old one to charity. Although it can be quite busy the staff are friendly and I did not feel rushed. They may not be the cheapest but the staff are good.

For starters when you get there you have to walk up a flight of very utilitarian stairs before you see anything to write home about but once you go into their enormous hall of mountains of fabrics in edible colours, I warn you, you'll be like a little kid in Santas Grotto. It is just sooo incredibly huge, there are fabrics and yarns and notions I had never seen before. The colours were like something out of an old masters painting. It took all my effort to tear myself away. I thought places like this only existed in America....TG we have this........a real emporium!

If you are within the Truro area I think it is worth visiting if you are planning to improve your garden.

Fantastic store, fairly newly opened in Truro. I had been to one in Bristol a couple of times…read morebefore so I knew roughly what to expect but still love going out there! The stores sells a bit of everything - pictures, frames, craft things, books, toys, homewares, kitchen wares, pet stuff, DIY, gifts, sweets, chocs, biscuits and probably more I simply can't recall right now! Mostly seems to be very good prices and I generally leave with something even if I have just gone for a look on the way somewhere else. It has a beautiful range of Christmas products this year at very reasonable prices, which I hope will return every year. Mostly easy to access, though I did have to fight my way round with a trolley a couple of times due to stock being on the floor (boxed to go out). Staff seem friendly and helpful but I think sometimes they could do with more tills open as do have to queue occasionally when empty tills. Quite a lot of parking, only had a problem parking on the opening weekend, been fine apart from that.

Malletts is not usually very busy so it is quite easy to get around. There are a lot staff around the store which each know about the specific area they work in.

It is one of the largest markets that I have been to in Cornwall however there are plenty of larger ones up country, although this one does get very busy particularly in the afternoons when it sometimes feels that half of Cornwall are there, if just for the food outlets in front of the main building. There are hundreds of parking places so you are pretty much guaranteed a space. Although you can usually find what you are looking for, it is best to be careful as the prices are often quite high and better bargains can be found elsewhere.

There's always a bargain to find in the market and also right next door they have Ben's Playworld which is a soft play place for children of most ages. Whenever I take my kids to the market they behave impeccably as they know if they do we will go to Ben's before we leave! At this time of year Cornish Market World is the ideal place to get all those christmas stocking fillers and with such a wide mix of goods you could get all your Christmas presents under the same roof in one day! Well worth a visit!!

She came across as rude and arrogant. Cannot fault any other members of staff that I have had the pleasure of meeting in there. The shop itself is quite small. There isn't much room to move around if it is busy, especially at christmas when they have extra shelving out with cards, gifts and decorations. However with it being a smaller shop you do get a much better service. There's always a good selection of clothes, bags and shoes as well as DVDs, books and CDs. Sometimes they can be a little bit thin on mens and kids but its obviously just because that stuff hasn't been donated. This is definitely one of the friendliest charity shops in the locality, I just wish they would reeducate that one staff member on how to treat a paying customer.
