Matalan

Matalan stores are all the same. This one is situated at the edge of a retail park near the centre of Bury. They have a car park in front of the store but charge you £5 for the privilege (refunded if you buy something). Some advice — park in the section of car park in front of TK-​Maxx as you get two hours free and it is only across the road. (Beware though as this car park seems to have different operators so check the signs first!)

Matalan is primarily known for clothing yet they also stock home wares etc too. They used to be extremely reasonable in price but now competitors such as the supermarkets have upped their quality and reduced their prices I don’t think they stand out as much as they used to.
I’ve been into several branches of Matalan over the years and unfortunately Bury isn’t one of my preferred branches. The layout is in ‘clusters’ often hard to navigate with a buggy/pram.wheelchair even with their own trolleys resulting in clothing getting trapped and falling underfoot and much exasperation!
Like many Matalan stores they have this irritating habit of going upwards with their displays to try and maximise their space which only means that you actually can’t reach some of the stock, and often have to traipse around trying to locate a member of staff to reach things for you, hardly ideal. Another negative is that despite having multiple tills they’re rarely all in use which is frustrating when there are massive queues.
