Advantages: Decent range of useful shops

Disadvantages: No designer stores (well, not proper ones anyway)

Where to start with Crystal Peaks?

Peaks is really a poor man's Meadowhall. Aiming at slightly different markets you won't find your designer shops and department stores in this shopping centre - you're really better off going to Meadowhall for that!

Crystal Peaks is more of a useful shopping centre. It has a supermarket (Sainsbury's, although the queues in there can be horrendous), plenty of banks and the recently(ish) refurbished marketplace where you can buy cheap meat, use the post office or get a spare key cut.

It doesn't have the glamour of Meadowhall, but it is more useful as I don't think Meadowhall offers any of the above. Other useful shops include Wilko's, Card Factory and Poundland - again, not really Meadowhall material, but useful if you need some paint some deodorant or some cards!

You couldn't spend a day at Crystal Peaks and I doubt that anyone drives more than about 5 miles to go there, but for the people who live locally (like me), it really can be quite useful... there's that word again!

Summary: Not a patch on Meadowhall, but useful none the less
