Tesco Homeplus

This is one of the only Tesco Home stores I know in this area. What a great shop — Tesco should do more of these — we could do with one in the Reading area!
The shop has all those home things in the catalogue and many more too. The furnuiture and home and kitchen shop is great — their prices are so reasonable and the products of a good quality — much better than Matalan!
The shop is also based in the retail park alongside TK Maxx and there is lots of parking!

This big Tesco Homeplus is a bargain hunter’s dream. It stocks all the Tesco clothing ranges, homewares, some cosmetics and toiletries, toys, electricals, DVDs, CDs, books, all kinds of seasonal goods and much more.
As it’s out of the way at the back of the Two Rivers shopping centre it hardly ever seems busy — the best time to come is after 5pm (it’s open till at least 7pm most nights) and you can pretty much have the place to yourself.
Tesco’s books are particularly good value and they often do a 2 for £7 for their top paperbacks. The clothing ranges are also good value and the sizes (particularly for men’s ranges) go quite high.
The Staines Homeplus is generally kept tidy and I’ve found staff to be helpful. My only two (minor) quibbles would be that sometimes goods are reduced and the first you know about it is when you’re paying for them — if you’d known earlier you might have bought more than one item. And secondly, that when it does get busy there often aren’t enough tills open so that you end up waiting longer to pay than you’d like.
