The new East Cross shopping mall has recently proved to be very popular. Before it opened last month, people had to travel a long way to avoid paying the high prices that local shops charge. East Cross has brought good quality items within the price range of the average shopper and this is true not only for clothing but for other products too. The prices here are amazing!

For several months, the developers weren’t sure whether the East Cross shopping mall was going to be built or not. The costs were very high. But I am so glad they decided to go ahead. I just love having all the shops I need in one place, without needing to walk for ages to find what I’m looking for. It’s a short bus ride into the town centre and then all my favourite shops are there under one roof. It’s a great place to meet up with my friends too.

A lot of people were originally unhappy about having a big shopping mall in the town centre but once they saw the plans, I think they realised what an exciting project it was. The idea of having different designer stores right here in East Cross, with cafes and restaurants, and surrounded by lovely gardens that you could walk through was very ambitious, and I’m not sure that even the planners themselves were completely confident. As for myself, I really didn’t think it would be as good as it is! But everything the plans promised has been dome and I really enjoy going shopping there. It’s a great experience.

In some towns, when they build a big shopping mall, they do it out of town because of parking problems and maybe competition from high street shops. East Cross has been built right in the town centre and I know some people thought this might be bad for the local shops. Actually, I think it’s done the local shops a big favour. Before East Cross, the town centre wasn’t busy at all. Now everyone comes into the mall and then they go and look at other shops close by. It’s really good for everyone.
