Advantages: Huge range of goods Disadvantages: Expensive
...an optician in-house! JENNERS is the oldest independent department store in the world, having occupied its original location on Princes Street, Edinburgh, since 1838. It is home to well over 100 different departments, which sell everything from international designer fashion to locally produced Scottish crafts. * A SHORT HISTORY * Charles Jenner and Charles Kennington were sacked after they skipped work to attend Musselburgh Races, so they decided ... ...contents were destroyed but the Jenners factory on neighbouring Rose Street was adapted into a temporary store. The new store was formally re-opened on 8th March 1895 and was well ahead of its time with electrical lighting, hydraulic lifts and air conditioning. Throughout the 20th century, Jenners continued to be the prime department store in Edinburgh with continual modernisation and enlargements helping it to maintain this position. In 2002, Jenners ...

Advantages: A wide range of goods. A nice location. Disadvantages: Lots of money. Too many snobby staff.
...as you are now then Jenners could be the shop for you. If I was twice as rich as I am now then I would pop into Jenners to buy gifts for those special occasions. If I was four times as rich (and if the internet population of the internet reads and rates this review, I will be) then I might start to regularly shop in Jenners.

Advantages: Great to look in, nice food Disadvantages: Some thing are very expensive
Jenners is great for just looking in! There's something for everyone - they sell food, clothes, toys, stationery, make up, furniture, household stuff ... but a lot of it is expensive. The toys and books are just your regular toys and books, which you'd find in any shop, so most of them are just normal prices, and the same with most of the food, make up and stationery. But the furniture, household stuff and clothes are probably too expensive for most ... ...snobby in other departments!
Jenners has a very nice tea room which serves lovely (but fattening!) food, but it's always filled with old ladies and some of them give you evil looks if you're under 40 or not drinking tea. But you can buy most of the stuff they sell there in the food hall anyway.
But Jenners is always great to look in, even if you don't buy anything. Also, an advantage is that if you have a Jenners card, you get 1/2 price tickets ...
