This is just a WH Smiths, just like any other WH Smiths across the whole country, but somehow this…read moreshop feels more welcoming, and I've no idea why! Cut price books welcome you as you enter and there's always a bargain to be had, particularly on the natural history and cookery books. It is also has the usual range of stationery and vast range of cards, for every possible occasion you can think of. This particular 'smiths has a good range of cut price DVDs and occasionally CDs, where you can always pick up a bargain. The chart DVDs and CDs though are seriously overpriced, compared to internet retailers. The magazine section is comprehensive for such a small shop, so if theres a magazine you're looking for, you'll probably get it here. A great local shop and a must visit, when we're in Ashby.

WHSmith at intu Derby is a pretty large store, mainly specialising in the "books" part of the…read morebusiness with a larger books selection than your average WHSmith and with the lack of a decent book-store within the mall with brands such as Waterstones absent, it does make sense to have this location dedicated to such a manner. While they don't have the personalised book recommendations and tags describing the book, handwritten using the opinions of staff and newspaper reviews, the store did still have a pretty good overall feel and selection. Another understaffed store within the mall however and I do think the stationery and newsagents part of the business did suffer a little bit due to the decision for this store to have a focus on books. It is still, however, a pretty good branch of WHSmith within intu Derby, being one of the few places to have a selection of books within the city centre, even if the prices are slightly higher than online giants such as Amazon. 3*

WH Smiths in the new Westfields Centre is home to all things stationary. It is great for gifts or…read moretreats for yourself. The store now seems much more bigger than it did in the old Eagle Centre and it is definatly more bright. I've visited the new store several times looking for gifts. A lot of the promotional books are laid out well and not hidden like most stores. The stationary is pricey if you compare it to somewhere like The Works, but with good quality brand names, you pay for quality. Staff are always very helpful and polite and queues are never bad.

Now a franchise of Londis…read more This store is your average Londis convenience store. It has good lines of everything although the prices are a little more inflated than most of the other stores in this area. They have a big deli section with a huge choice of sanwiches and rolls, pies, microwave goods. Lots of yoghurt and desserts too. The fruit and veg section is a bit of a let down and very expensive. I would try and my fres stuff from other outlets. They stock everything else you would expect although the store is small and everything is packed in so the aisles are very narrow, not much chance of getting a pram around the shop so you have to leave the baby at the front of the store while you shop. They only have 2 freezers but they are packed full of anything you might need. Not a big selection of bread and cakes though and I can never find any rolls for burgers or hotdogs. They do have some great offers on each month. The same offers probably as any Londis. They actually do have a lot of reduced goods too which have passed their sell by dates. These are the kind of offers I like. As all convenience stores you can also buy your lottery tickets (They have the fast pay lottery machines too) as well as your electric/gas/mobile topup and they have an ATM although remember they charge you £1.75 for drawing cash out. As for the staff, The family that run it are a bit ignorant but the lady that works in there is lovely and always friendly and chatty.

It has a massive selection of magazines on every possible topic, from sport to current affairs, travel to DIY. There are also local and national newspapers, as well as local street plans and ordnance survey maps. You can also order newspapers and magazines delivered from here. The rest of the shop has a good range of reasonable priced groceries, essentials like toothbrushes, toilet paper, soap etc. In the past, this shop had an impressive range of books, stationery, cards and paper. This has reduced somewhat, to a smaller range of cards and stationery, but on the whole there is a good variety. The shop feels like it needs a little more stock for its floor space though.

The stationary range is adequate, but over priced and most items are available cheaper within the same part of town. The DVD and Games are located upstairs, which is an impossiblilty if you have a pram or wheelchair, although I am sure the staff would endeavor to help. The availabilty of games and consoles is limited. The snacks they stock are again over priced, but are reduced when near the end of shelf life to a very reasonable price.
