craigowl 0 Posted September 18, 2008 We are lucky enough to have an Arco store in the town. Their HQ is in Hull and many of you will know of them, I expect. http://www.arco.co.uk/ I went in looking for a new fleece and trainers. I came out with a Berghaus fleece and Uvex trainers - when I paid the bill (>£100) she said "I'll give you a discount of 20% and a 20% off voucher that runs through October." I said "That's very kind of you, thanks!" I have been going for over 20 years. Even tho' the staff change they are always very decent and there is always end of range stuff with huge discounts. Often outdoor clothing and tools, etc. I love going in there and browsing - I worked in an office job for 40 years with a little outside work latterly and I just enjoy looking at all that practical "stuff" Bob the Builder uses. The bulky catalogues are always in our house. You see stuff in there you never knew existed. Highly recommended and pass on top marks from me if any of you know anyone connected with them!
