Is Ribble's Preston store worth visiting?
I've been looking for a road bike, and as I'll be passing the area tomorrow, I was wondering if they're worth a visit?
I've had a bit search online, but there doesn't seem to be much info about their stores.

Churnalism nowadays - mostly clickbait stuff and regurgitation in the local rags/comics and beyond.

Thanks guys.
That's what I kind of though, given the lack of info about it. Merlin it is.
The short answer is no unless you specifically want to look at one of their bikes. They don't have anything else out apart from that.
As StraelGuy says if you want a mooch about & a browse Merlin just down the road at Buckshaw is better or Evans or the outskirts of the city centre.
It's OK, but only really worth a visit if you know what you want because there isn't much of a showroom there, more a few bikes and a counter. Merlin on the other hand are well worth a visit because they have a lot of stock out on display and a whole big room displaying bikes.
