Having been given facelift after facelift, and with more planned for the near future, Eastland is…read moreslowly enveloping the whole of Ringwood into one huge shopping complex. In terms of entertainment and dining, the upper level has a Hoyts Cinema, Pancake Parlour, and trendy restaurant named Balsamic on offer. If you're after clothes, there are tonnes of small stores through out and staples like Kmart, Myer and Big W are all inside. JB Hi-Fi is on the ground floor, and a Safeway for those who need to grab some groceries while out shopping. A huge food court offers a good range of cuisine, and although it's smaller than the neighbouring Knox City, there's not as many repeats, so to say.

This place is a bit of a funny little shopping centre. It's like Knox's little brother, and it's…read moredesperate to grow up to be just like dad (Chadstone). I really hope they give up trying to be a massive super-mall like those other two, because they aren't as enjoyable as they were when they were the size that Eastland is now. For god's sake, stop developing the place. Everything you could reasonably need can be found here. I really like this place quite a bit, and it's a pity that I don't live that little bit closer.

Studfield Shopping Centre is more a strip of shops on the side of the road than a Shopping Centre…read morebut that's what they like to call themselves and I'm not one to argue. The strip boasts a wide variety of stores and there is something nice about being able to be in the fresh air between stores. It certainly beats traditional shopping centres. The staff here are very pleasant and warm too- also a nice contrast from most staff in big shopping centres. The shops are fairly small but each staff member is super helpful and willing to go the extra mile. There is an IGA store, a butchers, florist, chocolate shop, cafe, hair salon, discount store, fruit shop, take-away and a Brumbys to name a few. There is also a bank. One thing I do like about this place is that there are public toilets provided, although they are pretty feral so it really isn't that much of a plus. Parking here can be risky as it is a high accident strip. There is a big park at the IGA end and I'd recommend parking there rather than in front of the shops.

Best little shopping strip around, most helpful shop staff in this area…read more Always smiling and pleasant, especially the girls in Brumby's. Well done to their management team for training their staff to smile and enjoy their work at the same time. Well done Brumbys Team!!

Wantirna Mall is pretty crummy. It's very old and the buildings all look quite dated. Most have…read morebeen spruced up on the inside and had big shiny signs put up overhead but it doesn't hide the signs of disrepair and age. When I last visited there were renovations happening to the walkways around the shops. It looked like they might be widening them but I never see many people there so it seemed a bit odd. There are plenty of shops to make this place entertaining for an hour or so and there is a decent selection of cafes and restaurants to choose from. I like the op shop here as the staff are just fantastic and the stock is pretty decent. There is ample parking and you will always manage to find a spot.

The best mall I've ever had the privilidge to go to. I rave about it on Facebook and some of my friends come from 20 minutes away to shop here as it's faster than going to Westfield and better quality produce. I've never been this lucky every, this place has everything from supermarket, to butcher, to grocer, to music shop, 3 atms, a gym thai, chinese, italian and indian resturant, a party shop, two chemists.... cafes, tax accountants... and it's old style... the way all shops should be!! Takes just minutes to get everything, and you can always get a park. If you're not happy shopping here, you're not happy shopping anywhere.

Stud Bay shops are a group that you probably wouldn't visit unless you lived close by... that is if…read moreyou don't already have a gym membership at Curves. As well as Curves Gym the strip also has: - A beauty shop - A printing shop - A bottle'o - A milk bar - A butcher - A drafting company - An Auspower store Like I said, there's not a lot but if you live close the Milk Bar is pretty convenient. The shops all keep to their own hours but most don't tend to open on Sundays. The strip of carparks out the front can get busy at times but you should be able to find a spot most of the time.

They used to have the checkouts at the entrance/exit but moved it all to the middle off the store. Now you have to go there and then have your receipt checked at the entrance/exit, not very logical and annoying really. Probably think you will buy more if your forced to walk past it.
