Marks & Spencer

I like the food section just wish it was easier to get in and out past the window shoppers looking at clothes on the narrow entrance and exits!

Today I tried to shop with Marks and Spencer for food. I went to pay to find 3 staff chatting, I aked who was serving and was looked at with contempt and told to go to the other end of the store where I was left in a long queue.  Then told to pay for a bag - the money was then assured would be going to Charity.  But which!  no - one knew - Very disappointed with the Bolton Store  -

NOT WELL DONE MARKS

Great place to grab a bite for lunch(if not a bit pricey for just a sandwich). The only downside is the food area is usually pretty busy with queues so you cant just “nip” in and out to be honest.

They never seem to have any clothes for the younger end of the market in this store, I would rather go online to choose something but great for your Mum!

A large M&S on the popular Middlebrook Retail Park close to the Reebok Stadium.

The first plus-point is that there’s plenty of free parking nearby; but the first gripe would be that at peak times it gets very busy and access to and egress from Middlebrook can be very slow.

The second plus-point is that it’s quite a big M&S branch; most of the things you would expect are there, and the range of stock on display isn’t too bad.

But the second gripe, and the reason why I can only give what is otherwise an excellent store 4 stars, is the customer service. We were kept waiting for quite a while when we were looking for someone to advise us about furniture to buy, and when you’ve got two kids with you (aged 5 and 4) that can get a little frustrating.

It might be better at quieter periods… overall, though, not a bad store.

Marks and Spencer is situated on the Middlebrook development in Horwich, Bolton.

There is a large free carpark and a bus service operates to Middlebrook.

The outside of Marks and Spencer is large, modern, bright and attractive. The window displays are good and up to date.

Inside the store is large, spacious, bright, clean and ailses are roomy.

This is a big store and has lots of products on display including fashion, womens wear, childrens wear, underwear, fragrances, make up, jewellery, nightwear, shoes, homeware.

The store is large enough to accomodate a sale without becoming too cramped and sales are worth a visit.

Also the store has a food section, lunchtime section and a cafe and seated area.

There are centrally located checkouts for clothes and homeware etc and checkouts for food. All are normally well staffed. Staff are very helpful and friendly. The atmosphere is nice.

This is one of my favourite Marks and Spencer stores, it is large and has free parking right outside ther doors….a big advantage for me. I would highly recommend this store.

The store is within easy access of the other stores which include … Boots, Next, Currys, Birthdays, O2, Clarks, Hmv, JD Sports and Tog … more more more.
