Advantages: Influx of new bargain stores

Disadvantages: Some best shops closed - without notice

Overall Coventry shopping is good - I have always managed to find what I have been looking for.

However there seems to be an awful lot of stores closing e.g. MK One has always been here I used to shop here as a teenager, I went in last week and they were being taken over by a new supplier and putting out all new fresh ranges then I went to go today and they were gone, no warning etc.

I asked around to be told they went into administration, I understand with the current CC that it must be hard for smaller businesses to keep afloat especially when there are competitors close by like Primark etc.

We have seen an influx however of new shops in the last 3 weeks

Diamonds and Pearls
2 x Shoe shops
Virgin Mobile
And a Home range store.

We have the local market that has got smaller in the last few years however celebrated its 50th anniversary last month!

The market is fantastic for Material and fresh Meats then you have the Shopping centre where there is a fantastic food court on the 2nd floor with

KFC
McDonalds
Subway
Home cooked foods
BB's
And a new Deli

There are many good pound/99p shops for those who love a bargain and then in the lower precinct there is a Home Bargains store which is fantastic - all your high street brands at reduced prices. I.e. hair products, smellies and even toys (Great for Christmas)

Definitely recommend shopping here.

Summary: I have always managed to find what i need. However some great shop shave closed due to the competiti
