Harpur Shopping Centre — Local services in Great Britain

Thimpson Store in Harpur: The owner is not a fair and clear person in his way of acting. Commerce is more than doing the job and charging for it. Commerce is about making clear the price of a service, respecting and retaining customers. Details of my disappointment: I prepared, through an app, a document-size photo for printing there (£0.55), all correct. When I took the material to print, the man said it wouldn't work (believe me, it would! I've done this before). He took this photo, checked the measurements (it was correct), and printed it through one of his programs. At no time did he mention that the price would be different.

I don't linger any longer than I had to and shuffled back to my car (when I eventually worked out where the car park was!) making a mental note not to...

There's plenty to keep you occupied here at the Harpur Centre, including Starbucks, Greggs, T K Maxx, Primark, New Look, Specsavers and a Pandora outlet, in addition to some independently operated cafés, oriental food outlets, a 99p store and some pop up services for eyebrow threading and nail treatments. There used to be an epic spiral ramp leading to the lower levels of W H Smith and the gym group there, but they replaced it with bog standard staircase and a disabled access elevator. Functional, but no character! 🤷‍♂️ the toilets at ground level are pretty grim here too, but hopefully the work on the basement toilets is due to be completed soon and will be much better. Still, as a mainstay of High Street retail outlets here in Bedford, the old place is still...
