The sales assistant asked where the machine was to be located. He then proceeded to explain why I shouldn't purchase the one I had in mind but that I should buy a cheaper model that was more suited to being in the cold environment it would be located in I.e. the basement. I left the store having spent less than 40% of my original budget. The machine has been delivered, to the basement and they even moved the old broken machine upstairs for me. Excellent service, thank you. Your reputation was correct.

I think a department store should have some sense of specialness - luxury even - is that not what the store is selling in many areas? Beauty - perfume - designer handbags - etc. The "new" ladies loo's on restaurant floor are as I would imagine prison visiting room loos would look. No style - just minimalism - grey brown non colours. Just unpleasant. The Waitrose on Eccy Road has at least a clean shiny floor and new smarter loos. Well done them. I'm off to Handforth John Lewis near Wilmslow to see if they are reining that shop too - I hope not. Its only another 15 minutes from me in the Hoipe Valley and altogether better - so far. Please get the Sheffield Store back on track - there are not many good shops in Sheffield - I will try Atkinsons though as I hear that is nice.

Meadowhall is a large shopping centre, located just 3 miles away from Sheffield city centre, or 2…read moremiles away from Rotherham town centre. It is the largest shopping centre in the Yorkshire and the Humber region and the 12th largest in the UK overall by retail space, at time of writing (October 2021) - if the planned improvement works happen the centre could be expanded to become the fourth largest in the country. The mall is easily accessed by all modes of public transportation: There is a public transport interchange for trains (as far as Manchester and Cleethorpes), there are also Sheffield Supertram and bus services, serving the centre, not forgetting the 12,000 parking spaces up for grabs. There are multiple places to eat inside the centre's Oasis Dining Quarter including branches such as Friday's, KFC, McDonald's, Nando's, Pizza Express, Subway, Tapas Revolution and Wagamama. If you're looking for coffee, there are multiple branches of Starbucks, a Caffe Nero and some of the department stores here have their own Cafes. The majority of the centre feels modern, there are many large shops including Apple, Marks and Spencer, Primark and Next and even a barber and a VUE Cinema. The loss of Debenhams has hit the centre hard, which was one of the largest anchor stores of the mall. My biggest problem with this is you now have to walk all the way around the car park to get into the centre from the South Tinsley tram stop because the store is closed, that just seemed dangerous and not very well sign-posted for me. I feel they should have kept a walkway open to allow safe and confusion-free access into the centre. 4*

Although this place has all the usual chains and could be anywhere it is quite a relaxing place…read more The best part of it to me are the tiny specialist shops, in the little streets, off the food court. The Lanes. The food court itself is not bad for a shopping meal..lots of noodles or pizza and an all day breakfast place amongst them. The little shops have ethnic goods, an old fashioned toy shop and film memorabiliaThe Last Picture Show. There is also jewellery (Cleopatras is nice), a hobby shop, a watch hospital and a fairy shop. Arkwrights Emporium has all the old nostalgic stuff people love..great for gifts..including Gollies. Beatles stuff Marilyn Monroe, Laurel and Hardy. Audrey Hepburn, model cars and tractors, signs with a message, and branded stuff like BETTY BOOP. GUINNESS. JACK DANIELS. JOHN DEERE etc. These little shops are, for me, the best part of Meadowhall.

House of Fraser is one of the large, anchor stores of Meadowhall, the largest shopping centre in…read morethe Yorkshire and Humber Region, in Sheffield - It is a rather unorthodox location considering the brand, House of Fraser (HOF) which are usually located on big shopping streets in big department stores, based on other branches I have visited from London - Oxford Street and Victoria, to Manchester, Leeds and many more. It is quite a large store over two floors, including a small Cafe, the cafe, in particular, looked a little poor and run down - it had no soul or atmosphere, it felt like a waiting room for death and I couldn't bear to stay in there for just a couple of minutes. The selection didn't appear to be as good as other stores, the selection, in general, appeared more towards the women's market than men and considering HOF isn't a gender-specific brand, the balance between men and female clothing, fragrance etc seemed one-sided. The overall feel of the store is okay and it is a nice and unique brand to have in the mall, giving Meadowhall a sort of USP with many other towns and cities having the branches nearby rather than inside, of course it isn't as big, grand and marvellous as other department stores, whether that's a rival chain or HOF branch but it is pretty much "A-OK". 3*

Marks & Spencer in Sheffield is one of the larger shops in the city centre of the South Yorkshire…read morecity, it is located on Fargate over multiple floors and is one of two major locations the brand has within a small radius in Sheffield, the other of course being one of the flagship stores at Meadowhall. This store just lacks compared to its' nearby store of the same brand, it feels less modern and in some ways, the stock feels depleted, especially in the Food Hall, the whole range lacked with so many food items out of stock. The staff did seem friendly enough, and the Food Hall did have a nicer feel to it, compared to the rest of the store, with the only major flaw being the "out of stock" signs everywhere. A decent, large store in the department store chain nonetheless, and not terrible by any means, but certainly leaves many factors for improvement. It is, however, a nice brand to have in the city centre of Sheffield, which already lacks towards Meadowhall and I feel the city would be a lot worse off without this store. 3*

It also surprises me that after 16 reviews which were merged onto Yelp originally from Qype this place has been unreviewed in nearly a whole decade, with no reviews yet actually written on the Yelp platform. The staff here seemed really friendly, but I find this to be usually typical of Marks and Spencer, a staff member even offered to help me out of the store where I was going, I found the layout and signage fairly confusing especially considering the fact there are many ways to get in, and out of the store. The store felt like a typical Marks and Spencer, product ranges were okay and this was one of the larger and better stores in the shopping mall, and for me, this would have warranted a solid three-star rating, but I'm pleased to say the service going the extra mile, makes this one of the better Marks and Spencer stores despite having a confusing layout, with the signs offering more harm than good, sending me into the changing rooms on search for the exit. 4*

It only has 27 stores according to its' website including TK Maxx, Waterstones, Schuh and Costa, but I'd even say 27 is a stretch now. Over the years, Orchard Square has declined so much that even when you're in Orchard Square, it would be quite easy to not even know you're in a shopping centre or street for that matter at all, no staff were around the square to offer assistance either. A place one would pass through, often reluctantly while in Orchard Square to visit a small selection of stores, not even worth being known as a shopping centre anymore for any logical reasoning. 1*
