Now previously I wouldn't have been too critical of Rugby's shopping areas, however due to the recent recession the high street tends to be a bit empty but considering Rugby's size it still isn't too bad.

One of the main positives about Rugby is that the 3 main supermarkets are all within 5 minutes drive of the city centre with the new Asda being located in the centre itself and having a car park located under it which is brilliant for access to the store and the town centre.

Rugby also has a main shopping centre called the clock towers which is where most of the chain stores like boots, game, rymans, superdrug and wilkinsons are located and this is good for shopping as it has its own car park and you can access all the shops fairly easily.
There is also junction one located outside the town centre which contains shops more DIY and home store related as well as an array of restaurants and take-aways.

However Rugby lacks any music store now after the closure of a couple in recent years and lacks a few chain stores which are needed to offer more choice around the town. It also has a huge amount of phone shops more than are ever needed in a town of its size.

Overall I would say that Rugby isn't too bad for shopping however it can easily be exhausted in a maximum of 2 hours to buy anything really.
