Funny store. Prices are low. You can find a lot of types of gifts such as balloons, handcrafts, brain games. You can absolutely find some stuff for different occasions. Staffs are very polite as well.

My daughter drags me into the works every Saturday morning after her dance class she loves it and so do I, it's great value for money, the points scheme is brilliant and I always get money off stuff with my card and the staff are lovely. The fella with long hair is so helpful and always chats and has a laugh. Excellent customer service and a brilliant shop.

Collected an order from this store today. The member of staff who served me was extremely polite and well mannered (I also think he was fairly new as he'd been receiving some training earlier as I browsed the shop). Great prices and products.

Great prices on non-fiction books; especially food, drink or exercise and self-improvement titles. I have bought at least 5 cool recipe books from here, all at 75% discount or more!

DO NOT EXCHANGE BROKEN GOODS. We bought a small toy (squeezy ball) on Sunday 2nd July 23, we left the shop and it broke. Took it straight back as we were still near the shop in town. The shop person refused to take it back. Bit shoddy and unprofessional.

😐 Bolton's boots is still the same with no brands as you can find in manchester's arndale center . I hope they try to bring all that here as well. But since today nothing changed even after different suggestions or reviews . Hope they make the city center's one just like manchester's .

👍 Great staff, very friendly. Food is above average. Used the gym and swimming facilities every day and loved them. Being able to look out of the spa is great even if it’s a bit industrial looking, that didn’t bother me. The room was clean and comfy. The only negative I have is the desk is too short....
