Review of Wilkinsons (Shop)

Wilkinsons are a mixed blessing, in short. They are a high street shop, selling all kinds of everything, some of it good, some of it rubbish. Their stock is somewhat unpredictable, so while they will appeal to the hardened bargin hunter, anyone who needs something specific, fast, may not do so well. A brief overview of things I've seen them stock: babycare products, toiletries, kitchenware, sweets, clothes, bed linnen, stationary, garden furniture, ...
...be fair to say that Wilkinsons are cheap. They do sell known brands, so you can pick up a real bargin, for example their Johnsons baby wipes are significantly cheaper than anyone elses, as are their folders and pads of writing paper. If you have a bit of time to hunt through for brands you know and love, you can come away with a few bargins. Now, their own brand material is even cheaper, which may persuade you to sample it. I'll confess, I did. I ...

...and a few, such as Wilkinsons that I don't mind going in now and again. I've only ever used one Wilkinsons store in my life, so I'm afraid that I'll only be able to tell you with my experiences in that particular one, which is situated in Basildon Town centre. The store, itself, is large, spacious and reasonably well laid out. The majority of the aisles are large enough so that manoeuvring a buggy or wheelchair is a breeze. The only exception is ...
...two flavours, big-brand names and Wilkinsons own brand name (Wilko's). Perhaps you'd like a little more detail about what they sell, well I'll try but won't go into too much detail as they literally sell thousands of different goods. The main section I buy from sells household goods, you know the kind of thing, black bags, oven cleaners, polish etc. I find the prices are significantly lower than the major supermarkets, and their own versions of ...

Review of Wilkinsons (Shop)

The Wilkinson’s store in Ipswich has probably been open just over two years now, and every Ipswichian in the town either knows of it or shops there. When it was first announced that this discount shop was going to open you could hear a loud groan…yet ANOTHER cheap shop that sells a whole load of tat. Ipswich is a fairly big town and suddenly it seems that every other shop you walk past is a discount store of one sort or another, but ...
...this one was different, and although it can’t really be called classy, it is certainly done in good taste. It is rare to go in and not find what you require, and it is rarer still to find something that is not hugely cheaper than other supermarkets and shops. It has a huge range of everyday household objects like cleaning products and personal grooming stuff as well as seasonal items added throughout the year, all at cracking prices. It’s ...

...keep the customer happy at Wilkinsons stores. This, however, is through no fault of the customer. Wilkinsons is a very disorganised store, it seems that it is not only the customers who cannot find products they have come into buy but as an employee i find it difficlt to find certain "smaller" products for them. Products are constantly moved around by staff and customers alike and promotions are constantly shifted for a "lager sale". It seems however ...
...thus creating money loss for Wilkinsons and an Angry Customer. I would like now to focus on the Till's. These are where I am primarily located whist at work. On a busy saturday i serve around 1000 customers in a five hour shift. This load is huge as you can imagine and what goes with that is cash. Obviously i take alot, and for safety and security reasons i cannot state how much. However, on a saturday it has been noted that Wilkinsons can take up ...
