Advantages: Great items, affordable prices

Disadvantages: Staff are a bit rude

With Woolworths closing there really needs to be somewhere to take its place. I have been a big fan of Wilkinson's for a few years now. My girlfriend loves I as she can buy all of her craft items really cheap and has recently started making cards to sell at car boot sales to earn a bit of extra money. The quality of the materials is very high and she says it beats going elsewhere.

I like it mainly because Can pick up cheap furniture, paint and DIY items. At Christmas time they have a very good selection of gifts on the tacky side mind you but it certainly caters for those on a tight budget. It seems to be more popular than ever this year with the credit situation everyone is in. In the future however I am sure that Wilkinsons will lose its appeal with people and internet shopping with overtake the likes of Wilkinsons - it could even end up in teh same place as Woolies. In the summer we purchased all of our garden furniture from there and even bought some excellent garden ornaments and plants. It really is a great place and we hope it stays open.

The store is large enough with big aisle and in my opinion a pleasure to shop in and it is always clean and tidy and well set out. The staff are not the politest of people but then again you can't expect everything. As a general store where you can buy a lot for a little Wilkinson's ticks every box.

Summary: A great place to shop, but could it go teh same way as Woolies in the future?
