The main attraction of Cheshire Oaks for local shoppers is that it is supposed to offer cheaper prices for designer labels, specifically clothing, than you would find in most city centre locations for example. This is probably true, but given the fact that most designer labelled clothing is made in sweatshops by poorly paid east Asian workers and their children, this comes as no surprise and only highlights what a rip off such clothing is in the first place. Leaving this aside, Cheshire Oaks is the Pits of the Earth.
The cheap clothes are usually either seconds, out of season items or the leftovers from sales at many town centre stores such as Next and the Gap. So its worth double checking the quality of the goods that you buy. There are also the sports outlets selling the ubiquitous Nlke, Addidas and Reebok sports branded goods.
You cant really get to this place without a car. Its located in the middle of nowhere and is accessed via junction 10 of the M53 and is one mile from the M53/M56 Junction.
Cheshire Oaks has 120 shops and has a very large free car park full of grey Vauxhall Astras, Nissan Micras and off the road four wheel drives. They are open seven days a week and every day is the same and it goes on and on and on
There are plenty of unhealthy places to eat. If youre set on rearing obese children or if you just want to expand your own waist line, then this is the place to go. There are two McDonalds, a Garfukels, La Brioche Doree, FT5K, Villa Pizza, Singapore Sam, Spud U Like, Madisons and BB's.
I found shopping at Cheshire Oaks to be one of the most depressing shopping experiences of my life. The place is the pits and the ultimate in bland. Architecturally the shops are tedious and boring. Its like walking at the end of the world and all the shoppers seem like the living dead - including myself.
If you like shopping you might like this place. Maybe I dont like shopping.
