Peacocks (Shop)

A few years ago, a new store opened in town- Peacocks. Aside from the essentials like underwear, pjammas etc which were quite good- the shop left alot to be desired and was decidedly boring! The men's section was practically non-existent and the kidswear was not the greatest quality either. So from this you'd expect bargains and prices like Primark- but I was surprised to read the labels and discover that this store wasn't rivalling Primark- in fact they weren't rivalling anyone as their stock was slightly over-priced and not very good anyway! Fast forward several years later and something ... more

Having finished work today and in need of retail therapy I began to wonder as I passed men and women, young and old, what exactly does it mean to be fashionable? It was a cold and blustery day today, and yet scantily clad women moaning that they were cold and men who were dressed by their partners or mothers breezed by me with looks that suggested the end of the world was upon us. While some of those people clearly were keeping one eye on the 'fashion world', there were others thankfully like myself who dress how they want to, and in what makes them feel comfortable.

I would just like to write a review on the shop known only as Peacocks, based on my own experiences of using the one in Plymouth (and for those of you who wish to know or who are just being nosey, then it is actually in fact based in the Armada Shopping Centre which is a small shopping centre based on the outskirts of the main city shopping centre and is anchored by an avergely sized Sainsbury's shop).

In the childrens section, the clothes are split up in to not ... more

(I find that the clothes are better quality than Bonmarche) I should have shares in this store, it is the only shop we have in our village - Heckmondwike, that sells clothes suitable for the whole family. The store is quite large, we used to have bouncers on the door when it first opened about 3 years ago, but they must ... more

Since moving to Crewe, I haven’t been able to get to a Peacock’s store regularly. There isn’t one here. Well, not that I know of anyway. Oh hold on…. no, there definitely isn’t one! I’ve just checked the store locator on the website and there’s no Peacocks in Crewe. Bother! There’s one in Crayford though. I bought some undies in there last week, so I know it’s definitely there. Not that that’s very helpful to me, Crayford’s a loooong way from Crewe. I used to visit Peacocks a lot when I lived in Manchester. The Stretford branch ... more
