Department Stores in Loughborough, Leicestershire

“As synonymous with Loughborough as Taylors (bells), Tyler's is a family run department store that has just begun its second century of business in the town. My favourite aspect of the store is the upstairs cafe ... almost as though it were hidden away, as a special rendezvous, for the the initiated of the borough! Access is by two staircases, beyond the mannequins and trinket turrets of the ground floor, and from there, at the far end of the first floor furniture department.I tend to wend my way there on rainy afternoons, for a jacket potato and, of course, a pot ot tea. A most civilised experience, and I am always hopeful of spotting Mr Humphries or Mrs Slocombe somewhere in the background ... and maybe, even Captain Peacock.You've all done very well?”

“Great place to shop, big thanks to Neil! My wife left her phone in the store, luckily it was found by a member of staff (Neil) and we were able to get it back just after closing time, very helpful.”

“I like to pop in Peacocks in Loughborough when I'm there as they've shut everywhere else. Good selection of men's, women's and children's clothes. Reasonably priced, friendly staff.”

“Came from out of town and found the store easy to find.The staff were really helpful with my click and collect.
Loughborough has a great selection of goods for the home and garden and items you didn't know you needed.”

“There are two of these shops in the East Midlands, this one in Shepshed near Loughborough and the other in Ilkeston (Derbyshire). Both are fairly close to the M1 and have good parking. The Shepshed one is well sized and offers a good range of ladies and mens clothing. You want find cutting edge fashion in here and most of the lines are aimed at middle age upwards. However if you are after a suit/outfit for a wedding or other occasion it's well worth a visit as you can pick up some real bargains. On my last visit I saw a pretty tasty, well cut dark pin stripe suit for £30! If you are a bloke who's usually seen in jeans and t-shirt and need a budget suit for that one off occasion you can't go wrong! For the more adventurous there are an entertaining amount of almost psychedelic patterned and coloured casual jackets - great for your inner dandy'! Its also very handy for outdoor clothing, fleeces, waterproofs etc. Womenswear is not quite as exciting but my partner managed to pick up a very nice evening dress last year for £20 possibly a Klass There is also a small furniture department with some nice pieces, though the prices are not as good as the clothing. Upstairs boasts an adequate range of house and kitchen wear prices range from budget to reasonable. There is also a nicely sized cafe that serves hot meals and drinks. However like a lot of backwoods places in small towns they stop serving meals at 2pm hot sandwhiches and chips are avalible up until 4pm though. The car park is on the other side of the street to the mill so be careful when crossing!”

“Large, modern branch of the popular clothing retail outlet. Has a rear entrance with lift-accessibility, but recently this has been closed (presumably due to difficulty securing it), meaning disabled access isn't possible as far as I'm aware. The upstairs counter is often not staffed, so you can be left waiting for a while before being able to pay.”

“Good to have somewhere in the Sainsbury's store to sit down, have a cup of coffee and a hot bacon bap.The previous cafe in Sainsbury's was pretty dire in my opinion.”
