Review of Debenhams

rundown... 
This store is slightly rundown and looks very tired. It is a land mark in the town and really needs some rejuvenation. It sells lots of major brands and is always well stocked. The staff are not always that friendly especially in the cosmetics section. It does have a great shoes section and is the only place to stock faith in Canterbury.

Review of Bhs

facelift... 
BHS is a long standing landmark in Canterbury and has recently undergone a major facelift in line with the White Friars development. It still sells all the usual stuff clothes, shoes, bridal wear. They have really upped their home wear range and you can now get some great bargains that are really well designed. Overall - Nice new store.

Review of House Of Fraser

making changes...
This department store was previously part of the small Dingles chain but is now part of House of Fraser. This means it now has better labels under its roof such as whistles and French sole. This branch is bigger than the one in Exeter and has a better selection of items

Review of Marks & Spencer

good store... 
This Marks and Spencers has been here as long as I can remember and it has grown in size throughout the years. It no has a huge food hall, which always seems to be busy. It also has a cafe which is a bit more flashier that the usual Cafe Revive. I havent tried it but it looks good. There is a huge amount of womenswear here and they do all the collections apart from Autograph. There is also a good home ware section which also offers an ordering service for bigger items of furniture. The staff are really friendly and helpful as you would expect from M&S employees. The store always looks good and well presented

Review of House Of Fraser

improved...
Previously known as Dingles this department store now comes under the name of House of Fraser. This has meant there have been a few improvements to this somewhat outdated store. They now stock many more well known brands such as whistles and fench sole. The shop itself also looks better. The young trends area for girls is much better and has far more to offer now. I'm glad to see that this place is now doing better and I hope it continues to do so as it is part of Exeter history, its just a shame it had to become part of a bigger chain to do so

Review of Fenwick

rejuventated and looking good...
For those who have been to Canterbury before will know that the town centre has had a lot of work done on it recently, most notably the Whitefriars area. Central to this is Fenwicks. Previously known as Ricemans this once outdated department store has now gone under a massive overhaul. It is now modern, and airy. It has a great homeware and furniture department and the young fashion is greatly improved with some top names stocked. This department really does have it all. Fenwicks may have alienated some of its older customers but it has definetly brought in lots of new ones...

Review of Nasons
11 Nov 07, 14:01
outdated...
Nasons of Canterbury is a very outdated department store. Its interior and layout has never changed in the 21 years I have lived in canterbury. It is quite small and has kitchenware, homeware, furniture, china and some fashion. One of the better things about Nasons is probably its toy department. It has alot more to offer. It is a shame that this place has not changed with the times, though it must be doing something right to still be open.
