Masseys has been in the Swadlincote area for as long as I can remember, with a shop in the town…read morecentre, selling just about anything you can think of and a larger store selling big pieces of machinery like mowers, strimmers just out of town. They have now both been amalgamated into a larger superstore just north of Swadlincote Ski Centre. An impressive looking building with a large glass fronted façade, and a sizeable gated car park, this place is a DIY enthusiast and small business person's dream location! I wouldn't class myself as falling into either of those categories, but you can pretty much get anything for the home and garden from here, and the staff actually know what they're talking about, offering salient advice on request. On entry, there are the largest ride-on mowers I have ever seen, costing nearly as much as my car! The lower floor is packed with a fantastic range of paint, wallpaper, bathroom and kitchen fittings, as well as workwear, and a sizeable cookware area in the corner, that would outdo many stand-alone kitchenware shops. To the back of the ground floor is an area for fencing and other outdoor products for your garden. Up the sweeping stairs to the second floor is largely dedicated to the garden too, with a fantastic range of mowers, strimmers, garden tools, barbecues etc. This is also the location of the Massey's café, which has a good range of hot and cold food, made to order, as well as home-made cakes and scones, the cheese scones being particularly fine. A good range of hot and cold drinks too, but be warned, the coffee is exceptionally strong! I like my coffee, but this is like rocket fuel! All in all a great store, but it is a bit of walk from the town centre, if you don't drive.

I have tried to buy some offcuts of wood in the past and they refused to let me pay. Parking is available at the front of the store, but is generally busy. Great shop.

It's a real Alladin's cave selling absolutely everything you could ever need, and quite a lot that you could probably live without as well! Staff are friendly and some of the time it appears that they look just as lost as the customers in there! On the whole, it is a really useful little place to have in the town. A Wilkinsons opened recently which I think have taken a lot of business away from Brian's which is a shame as they're a bit of a Brigg institution, but hopefully they'll survive and continue to give the good service they have done for years.

Gee Jays is a local bargain hot spot. It has 2 floors of various items, from tea towels, to…read morestationery, to power tools. It is worth looking in Gee Jays before buying anything from B&Q or similar places. They have stock clearance items and regular stock as well. The stock varies widely and is regularly updated to accommodate seasonal stock. If you are doing a spot of DIY I imagine you can get everything from here, as they have paint, brushes and cleaning equipment. The main downsides to this shop are: 1) Parking, there are a few spaces on the road outside, but the shop is a 5 min walk out of town; 2) Accessibilty with wheelchair, pram or similar. I find it hard to navigate a pram around, so have to make arrangements to go there on my own.

There were some hardcore Sunday shoppers here and rightly so this place is beautiful. Full on country side vibe with every possible flower and shrub imaginable! I got my trolley and causally stilled around the centre settling on buying some sunflowers and other really hard to pronounce types of flowers for my mom and dads front garden. I have no idea who named some of these varieties of flowers....but they went innnnn...I won't lie a lot of them I couldn't pronounce but I gave it a good go..with varying results.... The flowers here are super cheap too the sunflowers were like 1.50 each and most pots are below £3...bargains galore!! The only thing to note is the tills are busy...people are flocking for a wide for those bargain blooms so set out an afternoon for this trip it's definitely going to take you a a few to see everything and pay....but that's the vibe surely...loved it.
