Trago Mills, often known simply as Trago, is a chain of four department stores in Cornwall Devon, England and Wales. Two of the stores are on the outskirts of towns: Liskeard in Cornwall and Newton Abbot in Devon, one in the town of Falmouth,in Cornwall, and its fourth is due to be in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. (Trago has recently completed a ground stabilisation project at its 120 acre site on the outskirts of Merthyr Tydfil).
Large department stores were formerly sparse in the rural west country and Trago Mills endeavoured to fill this gap. The stores' approach to business is to provide a wide variety of stock at low prices.

Famous quotes containing the word mills:
“Commercial jazz, soap opera, pulp fiction, comic strips, the movies set the images, mannerisms, standards, and aims of the urban masses. In one way or another, everyone is equal before these cultural machines; like technology itself, the mass media are nearly universal in their incidence and appeal. They are a kind of common denominator, a kind of scheme for pre-scheduled, mass emotions.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–62)
