Most people would probably agree that Bristol is a pretty good shopping destination.
Although there's more choice in larger cities such as Liverpool, Manchester and of course London, we should count ourselves lucky that we have so many fantastic independent shops on our doorstep, as well as more established retailers.
Cabot Circus, which turned 10 last year, was a very welcome addition to the city and boasts a quality offering - although shoppers will no doubt be hoping that the growing number of vacant units in Quakers Friars will be filled sooner rather than later.
Both Broadmead and The Galleries are a little run-down in the eyes of many, but are still home to some decent brands.
Bristol is very well catered for in terms of restaurants with a wealth of choice all over the city, which is why the burgeoning food scene is now hailed on a regular basis.
But despite this, there's still a handful of shops and restaurants Bristol doesn't have - but really needs.
We asked YOU what you would like to see open in the city and you came back with some cracking suggestions.
Below is the pick of the bunch.
Decathlon
Decathlon was a very popular answer.
While Bristol has a number of sport shops including Sports Direct in Broadmead and DW Sports in Cabot, it would seem that lots of people would love to see the French branch open here.
Decathalon started life in Lille in 1976 and has since expanded massively, with over 1,500 stores to its name in 49 countries.
The retailer often opens in big warehouse spaces and stocks a wide range of sporting goods with pretty much every sport catered for, but fans of the chain in Bristol have to travel a fair old way to get their fill as there are no branches around here.
The nearest Decathlon store to Bristol is in Oxford while Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Southampton are all lucky enough to have one too.
Uniqlo
Another common answer was Uniqlo, the Japanese brand which specialises in casual clothing.
It operates mainly in its native country but has 11 stores in England, with the latest opening in Manchester in April this year.
Selling high quality and trendy clothes at reasonable prices, it's no wonder many of you want to see it open a store in Bristol.
It would surely be a great fit for Cabot Circus, *hint hint*...
Muji
Muji is another Japanese retailer which people in Bristol appear to be crying out for.
While Uniqlo only sells clothes, Muji sells a range of goods including household items and electronics, as well as clothing.
Its products are known for their minimalist design while Muji as a brand is respected for placing an emphasis on the environment, avoiding needless packaging where possible.
It has eleven stores in the UK with eight in London and the remaining three in Birmingham, Guildford and Manchester, meaning it's a bit of a trek for Bristolians to get to.
However according to its website it is weighing up new stores all the time, so let's keep our fingers crossed that Bristol has been earmarked as a future location.
Adidas / Nike
Lots of people would like to see Nike and/or Adidas open a store in Bristol.
Of course, Bristol's sport shops do sell goods manufactured by the two brands, but their outlet stores sell a much wider range with far more on offer - and usually at lower prices, too.
The two behemoths have various shops across the country, with Nike outlet stores found at Gloucester Quays and Swindon Designer Outlet, but unfortunately not in Bristol.
Adidas has an outlet store at the McArthur Glen Designer Outlet Village in Bridgend, but that's quite a way to travel from Bristol, even for the most ardent fans of the brand.
Lego
It's no secret people love Lego, and it would seem that there's a lot of people keeping their fingers crossed that the brand will choose to open a store in Bristol.
It would certainly come in handy for Christmas and birthday present shopping.
Currently, Lego has 14 stores in the UK, with sites including Cardiff, Brighton, Manchester, Sheffield and several in London.
If it did choose to open a store in Bristol, a lot of pocket money would be spent in it...
Primark (at Cribbs Causeway)
Although we have a Primark in Broadmead, some people think there should also be one at The Mall in Cribbs Causeway.
It's certainly a possibility, as last year we reported that top bosses at the shopping centre were attempting to persuade the discount fashion store to move in to the venue.
Surely fans of the bargain retailer would like to see two branches in the city, with the city centre shop not having to be sacrificed.
The brand is pretty popular, after all.
Leon
Leon is a UK-wide chain which serves mostly healthy fast food, and for this reason it has been described by some critics as the 'future of fast food'.
Much like many of the inclusions on this list, most of its branches are found in London and the nearest one to us is in Oxford. Shame.
The likes of Brighton, Southampton and Manchester are also lucky enough to have one.
The menu includes a range of wraps, with the likes of halloumi, chicken and fish fingers to choose from, while salad and curry boxes, burgers, sweet treats and much more can also be ordered.
More local fruit and veg shops
It was also suggested that Bristol should have more independent greengrocers, as some people prefer shopping at these than supermarkets.
That's not to say there aren't any in Bristol, though. The likes of East Street Fruit Market, Gardners Patch Family on Gloucester Road and Reg the Veg in Clifton Village are all popular, to name just a few.
Someone on Twitter said they would like it if the greengrocers we have remained open later, allowing more people to visit them after they finish work.
He said: "We could do with more independent shops that open later. Really want to support them, but so many butchers, fishmongers are 9-5 that unless you work nearby you can't get there before they shut.
"An hour would make a big difference."
More zero waste shops
This was another common answer, highlighting once more that Bristol is a city which cares passionately about the environment.
However, let's not forget that some brilliant zero-waste shops have decided to choose Bristol as their home in recent years, including Zero Green on North Street in Bedminster and Smaller Footprints in Clifton.
Both of these have proved hugely popular and of course are hugely beneficial to the environment with no plastic packaging in sight, so let's hope others are encouraged to open similar stores.
Any takers?
An all-night café
The idea that there should be more late-night coffee shops here is a popular one, and one person suggested that we need one open 24 hours.
She said: "Been crying out for this (a 24-hour coffee shop) for AGES, since the first year of my degree. In a city filled with universities, surely it would do a roaring trade!"
Cardiff is home to a Starbuck's which remains open throughout the night and London also has a handful of them, predictably.
Adding weight to the case, one person argued that pubs 'lead to a culture of drinking in the city centre and excludes families', suggesting that there should be more late-night cafés to give people the option of avoiding local boozers.
