text: as my gym is in ocean terminal i spend a fair bit of time going in and out of the shops on my way there this is especially true with debenhams as their escalator takes me right to the doors of pure gym so i cannot allow myself to get distracted from walking in in terms of what this shop actually is though hmm it is a big department store that does a pretty decent job of having a variety of items from clothing and shoes to jewelry beauty products and kitchenware it is not an amazing store but it is a useful store that has a good variety of things i might need nni find that the womens clothing bit while fairly large actually has very few things that i am enticed to buy also it is always rather difficult to find someone to help you at the makeup counters as almost every time i am there the saleswomen seem to be talking amongst themselves with little interest in actually helping a customer nnthat said though i find their homeware items very reasonably priced and i have been there once or twice to buy an emergency cake tin when i have decided to bake also debenhams has great sales so i cannot fault them for that although i do not always find something i want to buy nnso overall a rather mixed review it is convenient to have a department store nearby me but i am not convinced that this store is as good as it could be
