For the last few years Tesco has been getting better and better as an on-line store but in store has been another story, clothing sections have been getting smaller and smaller and plus size ranges have mostly disappeared.
I am very luck to live very close to some very large Tesco stores and used to live 10 minutes from their head office store which to be honest has a shockingly small clothing section for the size of the store.
On Monday my fabulous friend Andrew visited me and we went for a drive to Bar Hill Tesco, which is a huge store just off the A14 in Cambridgeshire. When I say the store is huge think French Supermarche, I hate doing my food shop there as instead of 30-40 minutes I am in there for 3 hours and come out spending way more than I meant. It has always had a large mezzanine floor which used to be split between electrical's and clothing but it has been a couple of years since I last visited.
The whole store has had an uplift and the change is fantastic! the mezzanine floor now has a Cafe which is lovely and the the entire rest of the floor is taken up by clothing, I was in heaven! it is huge, it felt modern, and could have easily been a high street fashion retailer, with excellent posters and mannequins well displayed stands no over crowding and fantastic bright lighting.
This style of store could easily work in a shopping centre as a stand alone clothing shop not just in the supermarkets. The selection was immense.
I snapped a few photos which are a bit rubbish as I only had my phone with you but you can get the idea.
Beautiful Displays of Party Wear
A Nice large section for Lingerie and Nightwear.
They even have a Sports Wear section which is beautifully set out and has a really good selection of trainers.
Just me trying to run out of Andrews photo.
I loved this skirt and Crop top
Great online order system if you cant find our size in store.
Plenty of brands
I liked the advertising points
Excellent Childrenswear section
To give you an idea of the size, women's wear is all behind me and that is the length down towards menswear.
I think my only dissapointment is that yet again no plus sizes that I could see, I may be wrong as we were not being very methodical so could have missed it but I doubt it.
Please Tesco sort this out and the store will be perfect!!
