THE NEW SHOPPING CENTRE
Gatesbridge’s Merriwether Mall is the new shopping in the town. With an area of 320,000
square metres, the Merriweather Mall is the biggest mall in the south west. It’s located close
to the motorway, has its own bus station and 2000 car parking spaces, so it is convenient for
everyone.
The mall has five areas, all under cover. The largest, Main Street, is a shopping
area on three floors. Here, you can find all the major chain stores and
department stores. You can buy fashion items and all the famous brand names.
There is also a large chemist.
Situated on two levels, the market square is where you can find traditional
market stalls. On the lower floor, there are food stalls, including a butcher’s,
baker’s, a fishmonger’s, greengrocer’s and delicatessen. On the upper floor, you
can find stalls selling hardware and haberdashery.
Bohemia is at the rear of the mall. Here, there are independent shops selling
everything from second hand music and books to clothes and handicrafts.
The Palisade is more upmarket where there are fashion boutiques, jewelers,
antiques and furniture. There are also two banks and a post office located along The Palisade.
The Showground is the entertainment centre of the mall. On the ground floor, there is a food
court where you’ll find cuisine from around the world, including Chinese, Japanese, Thai and
Italian food. There is a large arena where events will take place through the year. There is also
an eight-screen cinema, a night club and a bowling alley.
And if that is not enough, we can offer you a voucher which gives you £10 off any purchase
over £40 that you make in the Merriwether Mall between 10th and 16th September. You can’t
afford to miss it!
