Debenhams

My mum loves coming here for a coffee mid-​shop! I can now say i’ve been to the stores in Newcastle, the Metro-​Centre and now Manchester for a caramel latte and it is spot on. Cheap, easy and when on a debenhams card means its adding up the points (well… for my mum atleast!).

Debenhams in the Manchester Arndale is pretty cool, well. once you have braced the entrance (which certainly isn’t) it is.
Debenhams is set over a good number of floors, I’m sure it is something like 6 or at least 3, but don’t hold me to it as I tend to stick to the ground floor, simply for ease and that I rarely go in Debenhams anyway.
They manage to cram a lot into one space, and still make it feel spacious in some areas, as it is a huge store and quite a nice one, with a big café which is quite nice and has windows in, it is quite a modern café and it has quite a cool juice bar next to it, which as far as I’m aware is a separate company.
This store can tend to be quite busy but when you are in the store, as it is so big, it is hard to notice, but if you cram everyone who was in this store, to my local Middleton library then it will be so crowded, they would be no room for the books! It is near enough on a corner of Market Street, on the same «mini» road as Betfred, Tea42 and Pizza Hut and very close to a Starbucks Coffee and the «Market Street» Metrolink Station.
I’m not an expert when it comes to stores like Debenhams, but it seems like a nice store and worthy of 3 stars, however I can’t give more because:
— I have yet to had a full look around the store at range and pricing
— It can be a nightmare to go up and down lots of floors for certain things; even though they have made it easy enough with lifts and escalators, but this isn’t the store you can just nip in and get a few things.
— The size all in one place is slightly unnecessary
I will be back soon to give a more detailed review so watch this space, feel 3 too! (I couldn’t resist the obvious wordplay there!)

popped into debenhams store to get easter eggs for nephews and nieces
going for half price from £12– £6 not bad considering the size.
they have a range of some of the shops in the high street under one roof
its very good if you go in the 75 per cent off sale.
They also have a café inside in which you can get cakes from £1.99
I had my usual latte and it came in a big mug for £2.45 also tried a scone
filled with cream at £2.50. latte was standard but scone seamed at little
bit stale, cream was nice but could of done with a bit more jam.
overall it was ok but my motto is i been there and wore the t shirt
so time to try somewhere new next time.

Debenhams Department store is on the corner of the Northern quarters in the city centre of Manchester. Within this department store it has lots of the little outlets within it. There It has a café on the ground floor and has a café/​restaurant on the third floor. Recently added is a Mothercare on the second floor. The basement has lots of men’s clothes such as Topman and other names, so if you’re looking for a good, yet mediocre department store give Debenham’s a try.

This large branch of Debenhams is right in the heart of Manchester’s shopping area, close to Piccadilly Gardens, there’s even a tram stop right outside the door. They sell a good selection of fashionable clothing, housewares and cosmetics. They often have sales on with half price offers on certain items.

Just popped to debenhams café 3^rd floor for a couple of Mochas and to be completely honest I’m disappointed. We were made very welsome upon arrival but the coffee here is terrible.
Also quite amusing the waitress walked past the three tables to our left, asked how there food was skipped us and asked the two couples to our right… The only difference was that we were about 50 years younger… Little bit of agism going on here :)
Didn’t try the food so can’t comment, but stay away if a good coffee is in order!

Debenhams, yet again, was my saviour on an otherwise fruitless trip into the city centre.
When I think about my life, obviously I’d rather not shop at the likes of Debenhams or Tesco (the only two shops I spent money in today) but, when it comes down to it, there are certain things you have to admit. Number one — it takes a lot of energy to do your food shopping at various stores. Number two — when you work in a mainstream office environment, you have to dress in a particular way. Number three — I don’t have the money to live the morally pure life most of us dream about.
Sigh.
On to more positive things — today in Debenhams, there was 20% off across the store, yay! Plus, 30% off in certain areas, including Warehouse, one of those shops I dream about being able to afford. I spend my office time sat there in Primarni, wandering if anyone will notice. At least in Warehouse I can feel a touch more professional. Red Herring, Henry Holland, and Dorothy Perkins all threw potential purchases my way and I was like a child in a candy store. My energy was zapped and my purse ever so slightly dented, I have two more key pieces for my work wardrobe that are of good quality but didn’t have me reaching for the overdraft.
Bravo Debenhams. You’re my high street hero.

Breakfast was cold and not good value for money, would have been better going to McDonalds.

Meh, department stores, when you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all surely?
Womens beautification on the ground floor, over priced 3^rd world made clobber on the next few floors, and weapons of mass destruction and plush house fittings on the next.
I’ve heard rumours that there is a secret floor that sells things that you went in there for in the first place, but alas these rumours tend to be false, so you end up leaving with nothing more than tears and bad memories of time better spent shouting at the sky…
You know it to be true!

Average Debenhams. Convenient car park with walkway to top level. Generally the store has ok men’s fashion, but it’s not great. Don’t like the selective sales either mixed rails make it impossible to know what is on sale. Staff can be helpful, but I prefer other stores.

Large department store, with many different concessions.
It’s always packed during the clearance events, but you can pick up some great bargains.
The restaurant has freshly prepared food and great coffee.

There are convenience stores, and then there are department stores. This Debenhams branch epitomises a convenient department store, in my opinion. You think you came here to shop for clothes or maybe shoes, but be prepared to walk away with a spa or hairdresser’s appointment and/​or a Nails Inc. manicure. In fact, if you are after a quick, cheap but quality manicure, Nails Inc. at Debenhams in Market St is your destination. In my experience they always have had ad hoc appointments, although they were nearly always busy.
Urban Oasis spa is also quite good, although not as convenient. I booked in for a massage, and although I cannot complain about the quality, I would certainly prefer to have been treated at the spa, rather than to be led across the entire shop floor to one of the massage rooms. This was in 2008, though, so maybe this has changed.
I must admit that I usually stick to the ground floor. I’m easily swayed by the variety of fragrances and cosmetic brands, while shoes and lingerie often impress me not. Their café, however, is really good, although it may be somewhat daunting to sit by the window on a Saturday afternoon and watch what seems like the entire Greater Manchester county marching past you. But maybe you like to be seen, and in this case being seen in a café in Debenhams is just as good as sitting in a cafeteria at Kendals.

I think I must be getting old, because I’ve fallen for Debenhams big time! This is a particularly good branch; set out over four levels, it sells everything from perfume, lingerie and ladies fashions to frying pans, bed linen and chocolates!
One thing I like best about Debenhams is that they have their own lines, such as Red Herring and Debut, mixed in with concessions. Designers at Debenhams their own label range, which features diffusion lines from top designers — is particularly good. I adore Betty Jackson’s Black line, but it’s a little expensive for what it is. However, Henry Holland’s new H! range, pitched at a younger audience, is much more affordable. It’s playful and fun too, featuring lots of lycra, bold prints and pretty summer dresses. In terms of concessions, this store has branches of Dorothy Perkins, Coast, Wallis, La Senza, Kookai, Warehouse, Oasis, Jane Norman, Faith. So you can spend quite a while browsing!
Ladieswear, perfume, toiletries and accessories rule the roost on the ground and first floor. Menswear (which includes Topman and Duffer concessions) is down in the basement and the second floor is kitchenware and homeware. The top floor, though, is a bit of everything. A dedicated sale department, it has a huge range of bargains from all over the store. There’s quite a lot of crap to sift through, but you can often find a real bargain here!
This Debenhams store also has a personal shopper service, wedding list making facility, spa, coffee shop, café, nail bar… pretty much everything, really!

I don’t mind Debenhams to be honest. It’s a good department store. Whenever I come here it’s always the men’s wear department that I visit. You’ll be heading down some escalators when you come in to find it.
There’s loads of famous fashion names on offer, like Levi, Rip Curl and many others. It’s always worth a visit as well as you sometimes find things cheaper here than in the labels’ own shops.
One thing I would say is that it’s really difficult to find the escalator to get back up out of the basement floor! I ended up wondering around for five minutes trying to find the bloody thing!

Let’s get one thing straight — I do like Debenhams. In fact with the bargains I’ve yoinked from there, I’d go as far as to call myself a fan. Try a cabin baggage suitcase worth £100 with a guarantee, reduced to £20. This, people, is the kind of bargain I’m talking about. A superb homeware section compliments a particularly good range of concessions like Warehouse, Topshop, Betty Jackson and more. The nail bar can be a little hit and miss but the beauty floor is overall rather good.
So what’s the problem? Oh, Manchester, it needs a MAKEOVER. It hasn’t been changed since the 70s by the looks of things. It’s got a great, down to earth little café and plenty for the kids, but it really needs updating. Let’s change this. After visiting the one in Liverpool we need to up the stakes in the competition department and make ours shiny and new. Because it’s darn good. A lick of paint and a bit of elbow grease and it’ll be right as rain.

Debenhams and primark sit opposite one another like a pair of giant demi gods. Debenhams the king of all department stores hosts just about anything you can think of, it also has a café. Seriously tho if you can think of anything they don’t stock apart from supermarket foods I’ll shake your hand.

I have horrible memories of Debenhams in Chester, when my mother would drag me around for hours as she would scan the clothes over and over and over again in order to not miss the latest bargains. I feared I would pass out in the cloying, dead air and be spirited away by the omnipresent staff to a darkened cloister, where I would be sealed inside a wax casing to become the latest clothes mannequin to join the store.
Of course, this never actually happened, and now I realise that Debenhams is, in fact, a very useful department store which caters for a wide variety of needs. It’s still not the sort of place I’d wander into for the hell of it, but I keep it in mind when I’m looking for something smart and specific.
There’s a large variety of brands on offer, possibly too many sometimes as the actual stock for each brand can be very slim, but it at least gives you a taster of what’s on offer. The prices can be high, but then the quality is always good. That’s one thing my mother taught me.

I know Debenhams is a department store that sells everything from electronics, accessories, furniture, homeware and beauty products but I like it for three reasons alone:
The brilliant range of Frost French underwear
The new knitwear by Betty Jackson and Matthew Williamson
& the café on the ground floor.
The latter is nothing special but it’s a good place to collapse and nurse a hot chocolate when my mum has dragged me round the shop for hours!

I love Debenhams. It’s everything under one roof.
Clothes, shoes, cosmetics, homeware, accessories, toys, gifts and a café. What more could you need?!
I kind of feel lazy when I come here because shopping should not be this easy, there should be more queuing, more stress, more havoc, more effort, but there’s not.
Plenty of staff, plenty of choice with different brands having concessions as well as Debenhams having their own designer sections, good sales every now and again when the entire store will have 25% off!!!
People will argue that it’s pricey but it’s good quality and you’re also saving time running about! And it’s definitely the cheapest department store in Manchester anyway!

Sehr angenehm ist der Besuch im Debenhams in Hull. Man kann dort schöné Kleidung für angemessene Preise kaufen. Die Kosmetikabteilung ist leider nicht so groß, wie man es von anderen Debenhams her kennt. Das liegt aber daran, das der Deb in Hull von Haus aus kleiner ist. Trotzdem sehr nett zu besuchen. Die Verkäufer sind immerr sehr nett und hilfsbereit.

This is one of Hulls most established department stores. It is one of tha largest in Hull (possibly the last one following Allders closing down). The variety of small department is what makes it a great place to visit. The ground floor is mainly perfumes, ladies wear, mean’s wear and a couple sof shoe departmensts (including Faith). The second floor is dedicated to langery and home wears. The upper Floors have a childrens section and electricals (I believe)
The variety of departments and quality of murchandise is what keeps the customers visiting. They also have regular sales for those of us that like to get a bargain.
