Marks & Spencer

This is one of Marks and Spencer’s more modern shops and has recently had a bit of refurbish. It’s a large one with a huge women’s wear section and food hall on the ground floor and up stairs there’s the café, children’s wear, underwear and mens.
Some of the staff I find are lovely women but others I have been disgusted at the way they look down their nose at you, especially some managers! Not very encouraging for the company!
The queues move quickly here and I like the fact this shop has some toilets for everyone, not just customers of the café!

This is a really big Marks and Sparks store — huge food selection (much better than the one at Teesside Park) which has just all recently been revamped to follow the newer M&S design of black floors and walls with all those posters of food facts. One thing though — the food area is always cold I find, possibly because of the fridges. There are loads of great deals on food — dine in for £10 is a brilliant offer and they often have 2 ready meals for £4, you’re bound to find something. My personal favourite is 5 cookies for the price of 4 from the bakery.
The womens section and gift section is located on the bottom floor — pretty much every womens M&S clothes range is here — Peruna, basics etc. Clotehs can be expensive but are good value for money. Keep an eye out for sales as there are huge reductions.
Upstairs is childrens, mens, home, a café, lingerie and a toilet. Again it has all been revamped. The café is café revive, the Marks and Spencers café and sells drinks and small snacks such as cakes, sandwiches, jacket potatoes and soup — there aren’t any heavy meals sold here anymore. It’s also quite expensive but nice if you want to treat yourself. Beware of huge queues at lunchtimes.
Mens sells a lot of suits, never really look round this seciton much though! The childrens wear is huge value for money if you’re looking for some long lasting clothes that aren’t too pricy and the lingerie section is one of the favourite lingerie places in England I find. There is also a currency exchange upstairs located near the childrens section.
On the whole, it’s a big Marks and Spencers and worth a look around.

This is a larger than averag branch of Marks and Spencers. It has a good foodhall and you can park and collect if you wish to. There are also the usual fashion and home departments. One of the most useful parts of this store is the upstairs currency exchange, you can often get a good rate here. At the moment there is a gift section for Christmas and there will be great reductions straight after if you can brave the madness.

marks and spencer has recently had a make over and that has improved the store no end, the food hall has lots of variety and is always well stocked, on the 1^st floor there is a foreign exchange currency, and is well situated, customer service is excellent but you would not expect anything less from m+s

This M&S store is fantastic! It’s very big, spread over 2 floors. The ground floor offers a large food and drink section along with lots of different ranges of women’s clothing. The Per Una section is fabulous. There’s also everyday gift cards and wrap and flowers available. Upstairs there is a large lingerie and hoisery department along with mens and children’s clothing. There’s also homewares (bedding, kitchen accessories, some living room furniture and accessories etc) and a fantastic gift store in the months leading up to Christmas. The shop is accessible from both Linthorpe Road and the Hill Street Shopping Centre and is only a few minutes walk from Middlesbrough Bus Station.

Very large department store having had a recent refurbishment. Spread over two floors linked via a central escalator. You can access this shop either by the doors which lead outside to Linthorpe road which is the main shopping area in Middlesbrough or via The Hill street shopping centre.
The food hall stocks a wide range of food, from Sandwiches to more substantial food for bigger meals. There is a park and collect service which is fab when you buy a large amount of food.
There are plenty of fashions available for all ages both male and female as well as a good home department which sells furniture. You can finish you shopping experience with a visit to the Café which as well as drinks serves small snacks. A bureau de change is sited upstairs
A very nice shop, well lit and presented and as you would exoect with Marks and spencers good customer service.
