The Original Factory Shop

The Original Factory Shop is a bit of a jack of all trades. I’m not 100% about what the concept is of this shop — could be that all their products are straight from the factory? All I know is if you’re looking for a random bargain you should have a peek in here.
Last week I went in to see if I could get a white board (for planning purposes) and I left the shop with a smoothie machine, a bath mat, a new toothbrush and 4 mugs. That strange selection of items sums up The Original Factory Shop. You can get things you want but don’t need — maybe that should be their strapline? They do have the shop neatly set out in to categories though. There’s hardware, household, clothing and kids sections but what you can get in each section will very much depend on when you visit.
This particular branch is always busy as it appeals to the Holywood demographic. The staff has always been great in here, there’s often a queue at the checkout but they try and get through everyone as quickly as possible whilst reaming courteous. This is a chain although it feels like an independent shop.
