A local institution and byword for bargain shopping in the area. Much used by local people for everything from ambient food to housewares and especially loved by children for the toy selection. The method of check out is also much imitated by local children. One assistant calls out the price while the other rings it up. "1.99, 99 twice, 2.99, 1.99, and again, did you want a bag?" Father Christmas visits in person.
