Default Re: Maplin stores

We have (for now) Maplins on the outskirts of the Gateshead Metrocentre, in Newcastle city centre, and at a retail park in Cramlington a few miles north east of Newcastle. We are also fortunate enough to have ESR at Cullercoats just north of Tynemouth.

There is also a city centre Maplin in Middlesbrough but I always favoured the Teesside one - easier to park right outside, go in, get what I wanted. And I did actually use it.

I do wonder how much of this situation is due to the general hopelessness of Maplin's website. Even the staff used to advise me that if I was looking for something on their site I should go to Google and look for it from there. If the website had ever been half as good as the paper catalogue used to be then maybe they might have been in a better position now.
