I know what you mean but can't for the life of me remember the name
Yes it was Barrett’s!
My parents used to go to the Off Licence every Friday night (obvious why
) and we were allowed to pick a chocolate as a treat. So your memory is similar to my own.Got my first bra in C&AC&A, I’m showing my age here
Woolworths. Ours used the have a soft play you could dump your kids in while you shopped.
They still have Tammy and Etam in Europe, so funny seeing it open! I was obsessed. Got my first thong in there (black with horny devil written on it). How grim is that - I must have been 13!
I worked thier in my teens
arrr the fun of putting all the balls back in the ball pool.on a night...Our Tammy was next to a McDonalds so I feel like I’m winning the 90s shop bingo here
Barrett's?
La Senza - I bought my first ‘grown up’ bra there with Christmas money I must of been about 14 it was a push up, purple with the cartoon ‘Little Miss Naughty’ embroidered on, in the first size I picked up as had no clue on sizes and too shy to ask, all bought without my Mums knowledge and kept it hidden Incase she found it 
Gadget Shop- Inflatable backpack... of course
Warner Bros Shops- I remember it had a car/ride in middle of the store
Jane Norman- used to go in with friends, nominate someone to ask the girls on the till if we could have a bag... oh the shame

Woolworths and blockbuster are the main ones, i’m sure there’s more but can’t think lol.

Mary-Kate and Ashley's clothing line being sold in ASDA - I wanted everything.
Woolworths. I used to love going to our local to spend my pocket money on toys and books with my nan and grandad. They had the best sales on Boxing Day.
Also C&A and Tammy Girl when I was a teenager
), they have some good stuff tbh, it's so cute that the majority of people in there are very elderly buying cardigans and the like haha
Lewis's in Liverpool was a great place. It's so sad it closed down. I also remember Owen Owen and George Henry Lee's (I believe the latter is now part of John Lewis?) Rapid Hardware has recently closed which is terrible, Liverpool has lost a lot of historical well known companies now that I think of it.

There's still a TJ Hughes here! I go sometimes for chips and gravy in their little cafe when I'm out shopping (I hate McDonalds and similar and love gravy so, erm

Oh, Friday night at Blockbuster was an event!
I'm sure there were times where my sister and I spent more time perusing the shelves and debating our movie and snack choice than we did actually watching the movie once we got home. 
We had a TJ Hughes here. I bought an army print wheely suitcase from there in about 2005 and I’ve still got it.
Body shop in the 80s and early 90s was the absolute beans. I so wish they still sold the same products in those little minimalistic bottles with the green labels. We spent hours in there sniffing everything. If I could go there now I’d buy little bottles of Dewberry, Raspberry ripple bubble bath, white must shower gel and a kiwi lip balm. Ooh or black cherry. Their stock now is rubbish in comparison.
Tammy Girl in the late 80s and early 90s was also amazing, also Snob. Athena for posters and Purple Ronnie mugs. Woolies for pick and mix.

The local post office, my nana would fetch me Saturday mornings when my mum went work (my dad would joke she didn’t trust him to look after me) think my dad liked the peace & quiet

I worked there for a while. My boyfriend at the time had a couple of stalls in the early 80s, selling Vivienne Westwood and stuff. There was a cafe (as you’ve mentioned), loads of jeans shops, stalls where you could buy perfumed oils (I really liked patchouli oil and haven’t smelt one exactly the same since), a record shop, and a Space Invaders machine. This was all downstairs and it was like a little maze. The place pops up in my dreams sometimes.
