The 30 Best Retail in Manchester

“Tipples is an absolute gem nestled in our town—a haven for whisky enthusiasts and casual sippers alike. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome by Greg. His passion for whisky shines through in every conversation, making the experience not just about purchasing a bottle but about discovering the stories and craftsmanship behind each selection. The shop itself is charming. We left Tipples with a fantastic bottle and smiles on our faces. This isn't just a shop; it's a delightful experience that we're definitely planning to revisit. If you're in town, Tipples is a must-visit destination for all whisky lovers.”

“Ordered two funeral arrangements, both were absolutely beautiful. The quality of flowers and their arrangement were exceptional. Very easy to use website and delivered the day before for a 10.00 service. Other family members used Faiths too and all were stunning. It was a pleasure and comfort to see so much attention and care go into making the arrangements. Thank you”

“Shaun delivered a desk today, he was polite and professional and went above and beyond to help us. Desk was put up quickly and all rubbish was removed. 5 star service, more than happy to recommend”

“I would have no hesitation in recommending Kemp Kitchen Design, from the design process to the fitting of the kitchen, the team couldn’t of been more professional. Any questions were answered very quickly and nothing seemed to much trouble. The kitchen works really well and has a real feel of a professional kitchen, which is just what we wanted. Rob and his team work really hard to deliver the kitchen of your dreams. Thank you for ours.”

“Today i recieved Kay’s team in my household and they have made an incredible effort in making the house feel brand new. Highly recommend .”

“I had a lovely experience at H. Samuel’s in Manchester. I was visiting with a friend and I’d been looking out for a new watch and I found one here that was a little different from what I was used to but Steven (with a V) was very friendly and helpful. I decided to purchase the watch and Steven kindly adjusted it twice by removing links to fit my wrist perfectly. I’m very happy with my new watch and the service I received !”

“Great place, good opening times, parking OK, staff are friendly, good prices and quality.”

“Shan was super helpful today and went above and beyond to make sure we understood everything. He took the time to explain all of our options (especially with care plan and product maintenance) and answered every question with patience and clarity. Friendly attitude made the whole experience easy and stress-free. We really appreciated the time he put into helping us place our order.”

“Great spot for a good priced coffee that is really nice! The staff all super friendly too. Also put on a lot of bike-based activities if that’s your cup of tea, and have plenty of cycling gear in store too”

“I have been hunting for a good Asian clothing site to place orders from as others have been untrustworthy, then I came across this site and this is now my go-to to order clothes from!! The service I received was amazing and I got my order way before the given time frame! The clothes are as shown on the website and the lady behind it all was of great help as I needed to match a Kurta to some trousers. I just have to give 5 stars! Will definitely be placing another order soon!”

“Very friendly and helpful staff, more than happy to guide you in store and get items down for you. We were served by Kynan, he was polite and very easy to talk to.”

“Been to collect our baby IRN (waffles) today and she is beautiful. 2 lovely people with lots of knowledge, very friendly and helpful. We are over the moon with the bird and the experience of today. 13/7/25. Thank you both so much and keep up the good work your doing its very much appreciated.”

“Brilliant experience: fully fixed an old lock that after 22 years of use had developed a fault. Knowledgeable, skilled and highly personable staff. A really honest place that is genuinely interested in its customers.”

“Amazing shop! The staff was beyond helpful and friendly. Also did the tour of the stadium that was an excellent experience. A must for any sport fan!”

“One of the best places to get your feet taken care of. I went here with my mom and was seen by Yasmin who took extra care to ensure all our requirements were met. And at the end we had a blue light discount as well Overall great choices, good experience”

“If you are renovating, this store has everything you will need”

“Made a visit here for the first time. Honestly, what a surprise. Not often these days do I come across such great customer service. Courteous, professional and extremely helpful. Also it was great to be in a store with people with such knowledge. Sadly a rare thing but couldn't recommend the place enough.”

“Massive selection for any United fan. I've ordered from the website and visited the store in person. Excellent experience either way. The staff is friendly but a little sparse when it's busy. I recommend going the day before a match or the day after. Gameday is packed!”

“Small and compact and perfect for the quick pick up on the school run! Plenty of stock and everything you need without feeling overwhelmed.”

“Great service, Was a little disappointed at first as what we were served did not look like the image on menu (in relation to size) however was immediately offered more- which resulted in us taking some back home. Dined with younger daughter who has the sushi bug and was a pleasant overall experience. Cheers guys”

“I love a Nando’s, and I love this restaurant. The food was cooked to perfection, and the service was outstanding - the manager couldn’t do enough for us. I highly recommend visiting. I will definitely come back!”

“I absolutely love this shop and have been a very loyal customer for years. There is a fantastic selection of casual and dressy clothes and they stock some very different brands all brought together in a gorgeous boutique. Together with friendliest shop assistants. I feel very lucky to have such a lovely shop in the village. And I have had a lot of compliments if I'm wearing any Tuula outfits as they are just a little bit different and Nicky and her team know their stock so well they are able to help you put things together you might never have thought of.”

“Uniqlo is one of the best every day stores going at the moment. I love the fact you can buy synthetic items all the way up to Merino and cashmere. Great everyday practical clothes at good prices and the service is always consistent.”

“A positive experience in this store with a variety of shoes to choose from, also shout out to Hassan who provided an excellent service.”

“Can’t recommend these guys enough, especially Paul who turned around some parts quick time, and made sure my car repairs weren’t delayed so I could get home today! 10/10, thank you so much Paul you LEGEND”

“All the staff members are very polite and attentive. Prices are very good and have a good diversified range of products.”

“Try before you buy. Physical store. We already had an idea of which two mattresses we wanted to try out due to the help we recieved from Stewart on the Live Chat the night before. Stewart had already produced two quotes which we took into the shop and were met by Jake. He showed us where the two mattresses we wanted to look at were within the store but also suggested a mattress we'd never have otherwise have considered (Tempur Pro Plus Smartcool Mattress) which is not the coil spring mattress type we've always had. We actually preferred the Tempur once we had tried lying down on it in the shop so bought that. Jake was very respectful of the fact that it was Stewart who had been our first point of contact and the reason we came into store and so the managers of both sales assistants were made aware that it had been a joint effort in order to service us. Overall so far a very good experience. Product is being delivered 10/11/25 with a 40 day sleep trial so if we just do not get on with the new mattress we can exchange it. We paid a bit extra to have our old mattress removed/recycled and the delivery charge for the new mattress includes delivery to a room of our choice so they'll take it upstairs.”

“Adam was extremely helpful in assisting my partner and I as we tried out a number of beds after a go on the Sleepmatch. Though we didn't make a purchase in-store as we were still assessing our options, we happily confirmed our choice online shortly afterwards. Give that man a raise; he really knows his stuff and made us feel so welcome.”

“All the staff (especially Katieann) are so helpful, friendly and so approachable. Nothing is too much trouble for them. I recommend to all my friends to go to Manchester Virgin. I only know the staff through going to Manchester Virgin but they come across as your friends. Just what you want when you are shopping around for a holiday. X”

“Bought a fragrance for my mum from maison crivelli, many thanks to Iqrah who was extremely helpful and friendly. She was very knowledgeable, professional and was patient as she took her time to really help me make a decision on which one to get. An excellent saleswoman :)”
