Shopping Guide: Wickes Leeds Moor Allerton
Wickes at Moor Allerton Centre: A Shopper's Guide
Why You Should Visit
- Spacious Layout & Wide Selection: You'll find a large, well-stocked store. This branch is notably bigger than the Roundhay location, indicating a broad selection of DIY products.
- Fresh Location: This Wickes replaced a previous Homebase, so the store is likely recently renovated and offers a "fresh" shopping experience.
- Friendly Staff: The location offers a positive experience with staff. The reviews note the staff are great.
- Convenient Location: Situated at the Moor Allerton Centre, it appears to be conveniently located for local shoppers.
Why You Might Consider Alternatives
- Limited Garden Centre: Be aware that a significant change from the previous Homebase is the absence of a comprehensive garden centre. While a few outdoor items are available, the store lacks a full selection of garden plants and products.
- Potential Showroom Issues: Shoppers can expect potential issues within the kitchen showroom department. Reports suggest inadequate staffing, leading to missed appointments and extended wait times for design assistance. There may only be one staff member assigned to designing kitchens.
- Specific Department Issues: There have been some bad experiences in the kitchen appointment and design departments. Consider if you are only looking to purchase from this department.
- Comparison Shopping is Recommended: If you are a repeat customer, it might be worth comparing with alternatives like B&Q.
