Advantages: Cheap, Good Quality, Vast Range, Good Brands Disadvantages: None
I'd be suprised if you hadn't heard of JJB, they have become very big competitors of other stores in the past few years and nearly cut out all the competition.
JJB was originally formed in 1971 but I don't it really become huge until about 1998, by this time they had over 410 stores across the nation.
They sell:
Sports Clothes

Football, Rugby kits
Bikes
& Golf Equipment...at incredibly low prices.
The brands include:
Nike
Adidas
Reebok
Puma
Hi-Tec
Kappa
LCS
Patrick
Umbro...
... and many more.

After we selected the pair of trainers that we were looking for, we asked the friendly sales assistant for them in my size. The service was exceellent as we were waiting for literally ten seconds. After i ...
Advantages: local Disadvantages: not really customer focused
~ The outside ~
At first impressions my local store looks clean, tidy and of reasonable size. The fact that it is based on a retail park rather than a corner shop means they are larger anyway.
~ Inside ~
Upon walking inside you can see that the layout has yet to be designed by someone who knows how to setup a floor display. My local store sells sports wear and accessories, bikes and accessories as well as other equipment. It looks as though they have tried to fit as much as they can in there rather than work with the space. Although they have good offers on in there sometimes I very rarely buy from there.
There has never been a time where I have had to wait too long to be served but seems they do not have enough staff in to respond to customers queries.
~ The Staff ~
The staff are friendly enough but could do ...
