Jumbo
We were in Jumbo a few days ago and noticed there are now
several openings throughout the store for easier access to get
from one dept to another.
It saves a very long walk round the store when you are maybe
just going in for 1 item which may be near the checkout area.
The music is still "dire"

Christmas isn't Christmas until I've heard those Jumbo Jingles.

Re: Jumbo
2 stores I hate the most in the world - Jumbo and Sports Direct. I have to visit these store twice a year and can never find what I'm looking for without a 14 mile journey up, down, round and round the damn shops. The prices do dictate my visits tho I have to say
Re: Jumbo
No it isn't. Most of the times I've been in there the women far outnumber the men. I don't think anybody likes the music though. It's just weird.
I think Woolies is a good comparison, thought Jumbo doesn't have a Pic'n'Mix. I guess Wilco took over Woolies' mantle in the UK. Jumbo just looked at that model, looked at Ikea, and decided to do a bit of a merge.

Nowadays I try not to go into Jumbo, I wait outside with our dog. But I have in the store in the past, and they do have some good things in there at good prices. I don't like having to go all around the stores two floors to get to the checkout. And there used to be quite long queues to pay ..
Sports Direct was mentioned earlier and although I do buy footwear there, it is a pain having to go to the farthest point from the exit to pay..

Re: Jumbo
I’ve never understood why they have their till right at the back of the shop. It’s so hard to get through to it as well with the rails packed so close together. Not designed for a pleasant shopping experience.
Re: Jumbo
I would guess it so that you see as much of the shop as possible, and possibly pick up items that you wouldn't otherwise have bought.
