Located in the center of Altrincham, Rackhams, like Kendals, is part of the House of Fraser group and has the features of an old-fashioned department store with a modern feel. There are 7 departments in all, with the usual items including men's and women's wear as well as an extensive ground floor cosmetics counter featuring designer fragrances and cosmetics. The glass, china, housewares and gift departments are worth checking out. The store also has a nice beauty salon.
