Advantages: Good quality clothes for reasonable prices. Disadvantages: The window displays!
...I had never been in Mackays as I have always been put off by the window displays. Often cheap frumpy lady’s clothes are displayed or tacky children’s fashion wear. I had decided that this shop was not for me. Well, that changed this week. I have been staying with my sister-in-law down in Cornwall. When we went to Bodmin shopping, she dragged me (under protest) into Mackays, bra shopping for her eldest daughter.
Mackays stock a wide selection ... ...and girls alike. Mackays is on a par with Woolworth, yet it seems to be a shop that sells better quality. It is not Marks and Spencer or John Lewis. It is great if for something new and different to the average boutiques, catering for all the family. The clothes seem to fit and the cuts are not for an unrealistic body shape. It is worth noting that many of the garments are in easy care fabrics, to save time on washing.
Some of Mackays clothes come ...

...I really like the shops Mackays or M&co as it's now known as I can buy lots of things and not spend as much as I would in other shops!
M&co used to be known as Mackays but it's gone under a new image lately and is now known as M&Co. They are not in every high street, they are often in the smaller towns/suburbs and so are not the most well known stores.
My local store has a teenage section, adults section including men, women, maternity, petite, ... ...a wide range of items with accessories, shoes, bags etc.
What is great about this store is that it doesn't seem all that large, not compared to the likes of BHS and M&S but I can always be sure to find something that I can wear or my baby can wear and there is such great variety. The baby section alone is fantastic, they have lovely little outfits as well as basics like vests and sleep suits all for reasonable prices. The fashion changes frequently ...

Advantages: good selections Disadvantages: not much choice for young adults
Mackays, or M&Co as it has re-branded itself has more than 300 stores across the UK and a really decent website. This is a clothes shop which offers good quality fashionable items for a reasonable price. The store includes sections for:
Ladies fashion
Mens fashion
Teenage clothes (AKA Kylie)
Baby clothes
Underwear/nightwear
Accessories
The adult wear is mainly geared towards the middle aged market and the men's section is quite small compared ... ...fashionable at the time and there are always a wide variety. M&Co try to cater for a variety of customer with their petite range and their plus size section for women with a fuller figure.
The teenage section has a lot of selection too with there being a section for teenage accesories as well separate to that for the adults.
The baby wear department is good quality and good prices with t-shirts just costing from £2.95 which is a complete bargain ...

Advantages: Does that something a but different. Disadvantages: Expensive for what you get.
I think Mackays is a lovely shop for buying babies clothes from although i have to say it is very expensive compared to the quality of other leading brands.
It is great if you require something new and different to the average woolworths,debenhams types, but then you do have to pay a lot more money for something that you could buy two of somewhere else.
It is about as costey as Marks and Spencers but is no where within the quality bracket!!
The ... ...come up so small compared to the sizes, okay so i know that not every child is the same and it is just a rough guide but buying 12-18 months when my little girl was 5 months at the time took the biscuit.
Overall i would recommend this shop if you want a coat or something different as it will be well made and presented but if you are after something economical then i would forget it.
This shop also does womens clothes and lingerie these to seem ...

Advantages: Bargains to be had. Disadvantages: Not a store in every town.
Mackays is a small department store usually based in town high streets. They are currently holding a massive summer sale in all their clothing departments. There are some really good bargains to be had. Read my experience to find out what I bought and how much it cost.
Mackays are also running a competition in their ‘Kylie’ department throughout August, with the winner being announced in September 2003. There are three phases to the competition ... ...found the children’s clothes at Mackays to be very good value. The clothes never go out of shape or fall apart and the colours don’t fade. The sizes also come up generous.
My daughter entered the Kyle competition whilst we were in the store, she had great fun trying on several outfits before selecting the one that she wanted to be photographed in. We also had a good laugh whilst she ‘posed’ for the photographer. I didn’t take advantage of the 10% ...

Advantages: Great prices for good clothes, great staff Disadvantages: colour choices can be limited by season
...me when I go into Mackays is how friendly the staff always are no matter which store I visit.
Mackays give people who don't have bottomless wallets (and lets face it, who of us do?) a chance to have their children looking smart and wearing clothes that can take a beating. They have a good selection of children's clothes although sometimes the colours are dictated by the seasonal trends too much - asis the same with most places.
They have launched ... ...shop at Mackays. It never fails to amaze me how much I can buy without breaking the bank. You can guarantee you will get more than your moneys' worth.
Well done Mackays for continuing to offer a quality service without making fools of your customers by charging the sun! ...

Advantages: value for money stores,250 stores nationwide Disadvantages: stores are not in large towns and hard to locate
I found Mackays 11yrs ago and have shopped there regularly ever since.
They have many stores that are like small department stores and most are clean bright and attractive to shop in.
The childrens clothes are great because they are unique to Mackays and you donot see them on every other child on the high street,we are always being asked where we buy the childrens clothes.
The clothes on the ladies department are a mix of high fashion and classic,I ... ...outfit but have ended up in my local store and found just what i was looking for.
The quality and value in my opinion cannot be beaten.
They always have special offers ,Ilove thier two for £12 tshirts they wash and wash and never lose thier shape.
Their underwear is so reasonable M&S eat your heart out the quality is just as good but at least £3 or £4 cheaper.
On the rare occasion that i've had a problem they have done ever thing possible to ...
