The prices are very reasonable and can often pick up a lot of bargains, plus they often ahve fantastic offers on. You can also order from their new catalogue if what you want is not in stock. The staff are really helpful and friendly, however there is not always enough tills open so queues can build up.

Now that Wilkinson has been in Marshall's Yard for a few years, I've gotten used to the bigger…read morestore and more items to buy. Its a great shop to pop into as it has practically anything you could need (within reason) such as stationery, toys, household improvement items, plants, sweets, cleaning products, pet foods, etc. I think that the move has been fantastic for both the town and the store, however, the larger size of the store did not fix the problem with queuing as the queues are often quite long and time consuming.

Upstairs feels quite small but has tons of fabrics and offcuts, lace and other haberdashery, knitting wools, fabrics and crafts materials. There are often big queues for the checkouts and the staff are a bit slow but it is a gem of a shop selling almost everything.

I would not pay $11 for nail polish strips because I'm a cheap old duck. However, I will pay 2 pounds for them. Is that how much they cost? I forget now.

Wilkinsons is a really good shop for basic household bits and pieces. If you just need a bag of…read morescrews or a hook or something, you'll find it here for a fraction of the price you'd pay in B&Q. They also sell some quite nice homewares, pictures, kitchen stuff, lighting, paint and wallpaper, plants and garden tools. Some toys, stationery although not many, and a large section containing cosmetics and household cleaning products make it a really useful store. This branch is average in size, but well stocked. It's located on the main street, so you've got to walk a little to the car park but there is a back door and the rear tills are always open so you can get out that way to avoid lugging your purchases too far!

TK Maxx says the cark park there is nothing to do with them but they actually benefit from it . My wife shops there regularly and was recently hit with a £60 fine to be paid within 14 days . On average she spends £1000-£2000 a year in this store . She wont be shopping there again . I've appealed the fine and emailed the store as well as their Head Office in London as well as the Council and the Lincoln Conservative MP ( no response ) and left comments on Nextdoor website mostly have been supportive . I intend to fight this fine and if need be parade around this store with a placard . A tip . Don't shop there

As someone who visits a LOT of TK Maxxes, I can say that this is one of the best that they have…read more It was only built a couple of years ago, to replace the very cramped old one next to Mothercare, and the improvement is vast. It is large and spacious, with a mezzanine section housing menswear and homewares upstairs. There's a lift available, and loads of free parking. My main gripe is having to use £1 coin for a trolley. In most stores they'll lend you one, but in Lincoln you're stuffed if you don't have cash on you! Very annoying if, like me, you were planning on filling it with bargains and end up having to carry everything over your arm. Such a minor issue but major inconvenience, so be warned: take a quid with you!

Located in the market place these is a great place to pick up great clothes at cheap prices. It…read morecaters across the board for women, men and children from newborn to teenagers, as well as having underwear and shoes and accessories for women. The clothes are good quality and the prices are very realistic. Meaning you can pick up some great bargains. However they only have 1 changing room which is a nightmare for trying clothes on especially at busy times, plus the store is quite crammed full making it difficult to get round with a pushchair especially the kids clothing where there is no room at all.

Situated in the old Kwik Save building in the town centre this is an excellent shop for bargains…read more They sell a wide selection of products from groceries to toiletries, seasonal items, bedding, household items, tables, beds, childrens nightwear, toys, etc. The prices are really cheap especially on grocery items where you can pick up brand names at half the supermarket price. The store is well laid out with lots of good quality products, however it does get very busy and there is never enough checkout staff to meet the demand meaning you are often left queueing and the staff are less then helpful, they never offer bags or help to pack and leave you stood there with your goods yet in a bag whilst they start serving the next customer.

Also have xmas they have a fantastic display with some great offers. the main problem is though it is totally over stocked so finding what you want is difficult as everything is piled on top of everything, but if you can it will be a lot cheaper then anywhere else. The staff are friendly and helpful. But do not go in with a pram as you will never get round, let alone back out again, as the aisles are that narrow and stock tends to be piled out and falling off the shelfs everywhere.

They sell menswear, perfume, bags…read moreand jewellery downstairs, as well as having a Game in the store too, then up the escelator (or lift) to womenswear, homewear, underwear and kids wear. They have a cafe too, up a fllight of stairs from womenswear, or up in the lift. The womenswear section has a dorothy perkins, wearhouse, principals and oasis as well as the Debenhams brands such as Rocha John Rocha, Red Herring and my favourite, Julien Macdonald. They regularly have sales of upto 70% off, and it's definately woth catching these early for quality items at bargain prices. The Debenhams Classic section of the store is great for cheap basics, although these items aren't the most beautiful ever, they will be the start of a staple wardrobe. I recently bought a grey pencil skirt for less than £10. It's perfect for work! There is a free personal shopper in the lincoln store, who you can book in advance. She's very good, knowing quickly what will suit you, and she's not at all pushy like some sales women are. She's not intimidating either, I went to her after i put on a lot of weight, i'd gone upto a size 18/20 and didn't know what suited me anymore and she was so kind and patient and showed me so many ways to dress up basic items so i could have a whole new wardrobe without spending much (she even offered to take me out and show me lincoln because i said i'd just moved!) It's a lovely big store, and although it's not really cheap, when the sales are on, some real bargains can be had. They're also very accommodating when it comes to returns of faulty goods etc.

It has a massive range of products; perfumes and cosmetics, watches, jewellery, clothes - mens, womens and childrens, lingerie, toys and games, household goods - cutlery, pots, pans, fabrics, in fact all the sorts of things you'd expect to find in a department store. In Grimsby we have a rather nice House of Fraser Store but I do prefer to come to Lincoln to go to Debenhams because it has everything House of Fraser have and more, it's also laid out better - it almost has a bazaar feel to it with lots of little nooks and crannies where bargains are often to be found, the staff are great too. I must not forget to mention the store restaurant - it blows most other department store restaurants away. The choice is pretty good and the prices aren't bad at all. The layout is pretty good and it is fairly sizeable too, so even when it's busy you can usually find a table and the staff are brilliant - which when you've got a child with you who suddenly decides they are hungry you need fast helpful service and that's exactly what you get.
