This place is absolutely shocking! Junkes and Ned's everywhere and security is a disgrace if there was an 0 star option I would have picked its not recommend and food options are so bad!! 0/10!!! read more

The Fort seems to be getting better in my opinion, but that could just be because they have added more food places! There is a decent mix of ships from Next to Schuh to Boots and many many more. There is mobile shops, coffee shops and plenty of places to eat such as TGI's, Pizza Express, Nandos, etc. The one age old gripe about the Fort is it is not under cover. So when it's cold, it's bloody freezing at times. Especially if there is a high wind. I am not a huge fan of shopping in general , but when I need to, I often go here. There is plenty of parking and at the very least you can get to go to Millie's and buy cookies...... Cookie availability is always a plus point. read more

The Fort is a bit of a strange shopping destination for one big reason ... it's outside. In Scotland. Where it rains for 250 days a year. Putting that aside, it's actually not a bad place to visit if you're keen to do a spot of shopping, although I'd recommend arriving earlier in the day so you don't get stuck in the car park queue! It's easy to find off Junction 10 of the M8 and there seemed to be a good amount of parking when we arrived around midday on a Sunday. But when we were leaving, there was huge queues to get in - I was so glad we weren't stuck in these as I probably would have turned around and left! I don't really like the layout of the shops as they wraps around the car park, so if you were visiting Asda Living at one end, and decided you wanted to pop into Topshop, you'd be in for a bit of a walk. There's a separate section for the restaurants and cinema (Vue), with a range of places like TGI Fridays, Chiquito, Presso and Harvester. There's a Frankie & Benny in the shop area as well, if you're that way inclined. The big draw card is probably Hobby Craft which we had a quick look in, and is a pretty impressive shop for anyone into a bit of crafting. I'll definitely be back for a proper rummage. My other favourite shop here is Zara - I love Zara anyway, but this one is probably the best Zara I've ever visited based on the size, layout and how tidy it was. Very impressive. The Cruise Outlet isn't worth visiting unless you're a man and have very good night vision. Would I rush back to the Fort for a shopping outing? No, it's not really very close to us and the carpark seems like it could be really off-putting with the queues. I also thought for a shopping park that size they could do with more than one toilet block (between Zara and The Body Shop) as it could mean a fair bit of a walk depending on where you were. But for a few hours to kill on a Sunday (and Eats from the Street pop up village), it was a decent experience. read more

I don't drive and as a non-driver, The Fort is kind of a pain to get to. Their website points out they have ample parking space (which they do) and that you can also take a bus or, weirdly, a train. Note that the nearest station is Easterhouse and it's a 40 minute walk away. Heads up for anyone not from Glasgow: Getting the train to Easterhouse and then walking the last 40 minutes to The Fort is a strong contender for Worst Idea Ever. Busses work better, and both the 38 (First Group) and the X19 (Stagecoach) run here from the city centre. It's outdoors, which is an odd choice given the Scottish weather, but it's also huge. This, combined with the late opening hours make it a good alternative to shopping in Glasgow City Centre, especially, again, if you're a driver. You're only really going to find massive, mainstream, highstreet chain stores here though, don't expect any small independent traders or unexpected gems. That's fine though, there's a time and a place for this kind of shopping and the Fort is the place, at least. read more

I suppose I should write a review of the Fort seeing as I'm never away from here. It holds a bit of a soft spot in my heart because I worked here for 12 years (10 of those in Boots) so I have a lot of fab memories of lunching outside and quick shopping trips on my breaks. In good weather the Fort is great. There's loads of room, despite the car parks possibly suggesting otherwise and all the stores are quite big in comparison to city centre counterparts. That means more room for browsing without feeling a bit cramped and uncomfortable. There are a good few options to stop for a coffee, so if Starbucks is queued out the door, Costa, Millie's, Thorntons and Patisserie Valerie are only a few metres away. There are a good variety of stores and I find it quite good for shopping for all members of the family. I will jump on the bandwagon though, the Fort is in desperate need of a Primark as H&M are the only other place offering this type of affordable basics. There's a small play park just by Boots which is ideal if you have to bribe a toddler with something fun at the end of your shopping run and there are also plenty of options to grab something to eat. The welcome addition of M&S food makes this an even more desirable destination. Obviously if the weather isn't great then it can be a bit of a nightmare up here and at peak times, especially Christmas, parking your car can be enough to put you off visiting at all! But the opening hours are extremely convenient - the longest shopping hours of any shopping mall in the UK - and with a multi story almost complete between Smyths Toy Store and the Cinema, it's looking like it's only going to get better at Glasgow Fort. read more

This was my first time here, suggested by the Amigo's shadow. He had been here many times, and quite frankly, it worked out well. As we were there on a Thursday evening, it was wonderfully quiet too. What I really appreciate about this place is the late night shopping hours. For people who haven't been leaving the lab until around about 9 pm each day (after starting at 8 am) and don't have life because of it, late opening hours are a blessing. The range of shops at our disposal was nice as well - unfortunately I didn't get to spend as much time in the shops that I wanted to go into. I didn't even know we had a KIKO shop, but it's exciting to have found it. The Zara shop is huge, and well organised and to my excitement, tidy! I can't stand the one on Buchanan street, just because it is always so messy! It has a great range of shops available, a huge boots and TK Maxx, as well as a Kiko Milano make up shop, which is fantastic because I didn't think we had one in Glasgow. I think you'd be able to find pretty much everything and anything you need here. Except books maybe, because I don't remember there being a book shop. There's a good range of restaurants to choose from too; the usual chain restaurants including Nando's, Pizza Hut, Frankie and Benny's and TGI Fridays, among others. The VUE also has a cinema here, so you could honestly spend all day here - with free parking, nonetheless! Always a bonus if you ask me. Otherwise I can't say that it isn't freezing cold and I don't think the architects through through building an outside, uncovered shopping complex in Glasgow. read more

I don't mind this place, parking is plentiful and there are a decent amount of stores I only ever visit for specific items, in and out, couldn't think of anything worse than shopping here when it's raining It's constantly been developed over the last few years, cinema and eateries 18 months ago now a marks and Spencer's in the last 8 months Seems a few shops are being renovated too Nice to see them developed However more stores require more parking and that's where this place will ultimately fail to attract when people can't park,build a multi-storey next read more

Glasgow Fort - Nice in the sun - Shopping Centers Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

Located off the M8, this open-air shopping centre is easily accessible from most places in the region. Externally it looks more like a retail park than a shopping centre and I can't decide what to make of the fact that it is outdoors - fresh air, great, but surely the point of a shopping centre is so that you are not exposed to the elements? My mum, armed with her new Sat Nav, & I found our way here in search of the big Hobby Craft which was the purpose of the trip. However, it was about the only 'unusual' shop here - the rest are pretty much all high street stores...except...no Marks and Spencers!! Shocker. The Hobby Craft is certainly huge but also disappointingly expensive. The Fort is open until 10pm during the week so handy for those nearby who need to pick up something to wear quickly or a last minute present but, in my opinion, not worth a long journey. read more

The first time I went to the Fort - sent off to do an errand for my then boss - I got horribly, horribly lost. It was one of those times when you're in the middle of an unknown area of the city with absolutely no idea where you are and your sat nav announces "you have reached your destination" and your heart sinks. Because you haven't. It took an hour and a half of frantic phonecalls to my boyfriend with google maps and my boss with a proper map before I got there. I tell you, when I finally turned the corner to the sight of the giant Glasgow Fort sign, I nearly cried tears of happiness. I don't think I've ever been quite so pleased to see a shopping centre. You will be pleased to know, though, that it was just be being a bit of an idiot really. If you stick to the M8, and don't try to go the back way, then you really can't miss it. The Fort has just about everything you could need for a shopping trip. Just about all the big names in high street fashion, as well as the biggest Boots I have ever seen in my life, lots of cafes and restaurants and home furnishing stores. One of the highlights is an Asda store that doesn't sell food - just clothes, DVDs, games, CDs, electrical and homeware. Surprisingly good! read more

I do like the Fort. On a nice day or a summer's evening, it's a great place to go Yeah it's all outdoors so when the weather is well 'the usual' , it's not ideal. But we can't blame the Fort for the weather! Over the years, the Fort has grown and now houses an impressive range of stores. It honestly rivals any of the shopping centres found in Glasgow. The Fort means serious shopping business! There's a great range of stores but my faces have to be: Hobbycraft, Asda Home, TK Maxx, Dorothy Perkins, New Look, The Body Shop, Boots, Superdrug, Kiko, Poundland to name but a few. There's also a HMV, Clinton Cards, Bodycare, Argos, Game, M & S, Next, Thortons, Patisserie Valerie (the cakes!) amongst many others. Oh and if you fancy booking a holiday whilst you're there, there is a few travel agents. And a gym if burning off calories shopping isn't your thing. There's a cinema and loads of places to eat: Harvester, TGI Fridays, Chiquitos Tony Macaroni, Nandos, Pizza Hut etc -a lot of the usual suspects you would expect to find. There's also a Greggs, Subway and Starbucks. Happy Days. I really do like Fort and I should go more often but living literally minutes on a train from the city centre, I don't go as much as I would like and when the weather is bad, it's not really ideal (but then neither is walking down Argyle Street!). I'm going to make more of an effort to go to the Fort because I really do like it! And they have a refreshment station for dogs. That's just too cute! read more

It took me a long time to visit The Fort, years and years since it opened and I only got on board with it a month ago! It was alright. I remember the excitement pending its arrival, and have since passed it by many a time from the motorway, its presence looming over in an enticing and slightly overbearing manner. Once inside, it wasn't as big as I thought it would be. And I know I'm late to the party, but was a bit shocked it was outside! Also, got to admit, disappointed it wasn't cosier, since it was the end of January and consequently Baltic. I'm close to town, so my nearest port of call in terms of big shopping arenas is Braehead. The fort is a bit out the road for me, especially as I currently don't drive, but can appreciate it's great for people in this area. It's basically a high street situated on the outskirts of the city, so if you're near Hamilton or out east-side, it's super useful. We enjoyed the Nando's and the shops themselves are huge. Lots of fast food places, chain restaurants and the usual suspects of high street retail stores. I hear their craft shop is ace but we didn't have time. I'd go back for that. Nothing unusual and I've got to admit, I prefer Silverburn and Braehead, but vey useful if you're out in this area and it's pretty self sufficient in terms of shopping. Sure it saves many the venture into town, and the car park is vast! read more

When the fort first opened I thought Ugh, this is so not going to work for me. The whole point of going to a shopping centre for me is that it is in doors! Glasgow 11 and a half months of the year its freezing. If you avoid Christmas or peak time on a Saturday the fort is actually alright. The range of shops are decent. Argos, Next, a massive Boots, Topshop and so much more. What I do often find myself thinking is that it need a Primark! Over the last couple of months the Fort has been expanding and recently just opened M&S hurrah for the food! Most shopping centres have food court with a selection of McDonald KFC and all the other Uber fast food joint you can think of. the good thing about the fort is that it doesn't have fast food kiosk it has actual restaurants. Recently wagamama and prezo are the latest editions! Things to watch out for - busy peak times the car park can get mental! And cold days as it's an outdoor shopping centre!! read more

I like the Fort as an idea BUT the one thing I always say and always hear other people saying is WHY an outside shopping park in Glasgow?! On even the warmer/drier days it still seems to be a total wind tunnel and the worst thing for me is waiting in those open, windy, freezing bus stops. Brrrr! I was there last week waiting on a bus in the evening and I needed my hat & gloves I tell thee. I do like that fact that they have many shops that open until 9pm at least on most days of the week and that there's also a cheeky Nandos there too. The shop selection is also getting better ~ Asda Living being a wee gem and also a few other shops you wouldn't get in town/other malls. STILL no Primark so they lost a star for that, sorry, but I love the mucho cheapness. Another con about the Fort is the lack of public transport there ~ not many buses from my area that go there AND I live in the bloomin' East End! Sort it out. Still, HOT DONUTS! Yas. read more

This shopping park was built around the same time I was finding it more and more acceptable to spend stupid amounts of money on books and CD's. There was a Borders at one end (remember them?) and a Virgin Megastore that morphed in to Zavvi that morphed in to an HMV. After HMV almost going bust, the shop is a shadow of the size it used to be, selling on 2 thirds of its premises to Superdrug (cheerio Boots). All in all the shopping park has a great potential to be one of the best shopping parks in Glasgow, if it wasn't for the horrendous car park arrangement that sees the car park split in to sections and colour coded, which makes it no easier to get round the spaghetti like roads to find a half decent parking space. The shops themselves are nothing exciting either, just the usual Boots, Argos, HMV, Next, TopShop/TopMan/Burton, a few lesser known shops, a few jewellers and what seems to be 10 phone shops (are you surprised?) Great if you're going clothes shopping and are in the area but I wouldn't go out my way to travel to Glasgow's version of "The Fort". read more

The extention to the fort has apparently been brought forward to July/August this year - http://www.heraldscotland.com/mobile/business/company-news/9m-glasgow-fort-extension-to-open-earlier-than-planned.21082512 I find myself here probably atleast 3 times a week, its so central to me its great, plus its got most things I look for, coffee shops, fast food outlets, cloths shopping. read more

I love glasgow fort as its ten mins up the road from me with a great range of shops and retaurants and usually plenty of parking. At the weekends it can get crazy busy as it was today at 3pm to the point stewards were needed to direct traffic. This is prob gonna be a regular occurance with the expansion that is planned. My only grumbles is that its all outdoors so a nightmare if raining or freezing as it usually is in Glasgow and that its on a curve so a bit of a pain if you only need to go to 2 shops and they are at opposite ends of the centre! I love the fact that its open till 10pm weekdays as this is when i tend to go as its usuall that wee bit quieter and easier to park. For me the fort wins over the city centre most times unless i need a lush stash ... bring a lush here please fort people!! read more

There's nothing like doing a bit of late night Christmas shopping at The Fort! Every year, Colin and I, and usually our friend Maria, leave our Christmas shopping to the week before Christmas when The Fort is open till midnight, and cram in all of our shopping with about 300 other people doing the same thing! I do think it's a tad silly having an outdoor shopping centre in a country with weather like Scotland's, but to be honest it's never rained once when I've been there, and I always look forward to a trip to The Fort, especially at Christmas when they have the donut stand up outside DW Sports, yum yum yum! read more

Loads of shops to choose from. All the usual high street and food places too (just in case you get hungry)! All flat and very accessible to everyone. Only downside it's an outdoor and could cath the scottish weather easily!! Plenty of parking and it has a new cinema too if you fancy going to see a picture. It's a handy stop if I'm on my way in or out of glasgow as I sometimes need a hit of caffiene! I must put a mentl a mental note of JUNCTION 10 in my head as I have been known to doble back as i have missed the junction! ha ha ha!! read more

Cost a coffee is great sitting outside in the summer time. Next to Mark's and Spencer's. Great place to have a gab.

We've been coming here since it opened many moons past. The place constantly evolves, when Borders closed it left a big gaping hole in the heart of the place for us but it's soo handy as it's just down the M8. The place is easy to find from Glasgow (M8 junction 10 [ you can't miss the aluminium wall and the big tower if looking for it) and from the other direction you just take the Steps exit and loop round by the Morrison's & Decathlon. Both exits have signs on the M8 if you are looking for them. There's loads of parking, but the parking fills up fast during busy weekends and at prime shopping periods such as XMAS. This isn't an issue for us as we tend to go early at the weekends and late in the evenings, taking advantage of the choice of places to have a coffee or hot chocolate, early lunch or Breakfast. There's a few people I know don't like it because it's in the open. Personally I like the Fort as it feels quieter, even when the car parks are full. I sometimes find that shopping centres can be crowded, with air conditioning that dries your mouth and I end up getting frustrated. I don't find that at the Fort as there is loads of fresh air and people tend to stick to the shops, leaving the walkways free. The new additions, beside ASDA Living, of a cinema and restaurants have added to the feel of the place but have made parking a bit harder in some places at the same time. Hopefully the place will keep evolving as shops change and further new developments appear in the future. read more

The fort is a poor destination for shoppers and staff alike. Most rely on the 38 bus which since the time tables change as less than frequent. The stores are open late but getting home is always a nightmare. The staff are not supplied with enough parking and are not aloud to park in the main parking lot regardless of it being empty. The fact that is is outdoors is a confusing situation for customers, it's overhang at the entrances do not stop the wind from blowing the wind in your face. In Scotland not a great idea. However on the odd day we get some Sun it's much more pleasant. read more

The Glasgow Fort is the East-end's very own little sattelite version of the city centre's Golden Z. Featuring all of your typical high street stores: Topshop, Miss Selfridge, Next, River Island, Starbucks, Burtons Warehouse, Boots, etc., as well as a few restaurants such as Frankie & Benny's and Nando's. Since it is outdoors it can get fairly windy, but for the most part you can stay under the awnings. Since I life in the East-end, I find The Fort really handy for a quick shopping trick, popping in for a coffee with friends, and avoiding the Christmas shopping crowd (well, to an extent!) It's open until 10pm on weeknights, and on the run-up to Christmas it's open until midnight. They have a myriad of parking spaces. I mean, beyond plenty! There are also regular bus links (which, incidentally, are pretty terrible if you live nearby but great if you live a little farther out), and it's literally right beside the exit of the M8 motorway. There's also a Morrison's across the way, and some stores you don't get in town such as Asda Living, Hobbycraft, and SCS sofas. Saves you a trip into the city centre on most occasions, and some of the shops are bigger or have better stock than their Buchanan or Argyll Street counterparts. Worth a visit. read more

The Fort has definitely gotten better. There is a large M&S at one end and a Vue cinema at the other. There are lots of big shops in-between like River Island, New Look, H&M, Zara, Boots, WH Smith, Hobbycraft, JD, TK Maxx, Asda Living etc. It used to be quite meh but the M&S and the cinema have contributed a lot to give it a sort of "wow" factor. (Even though it's a retail park) The layout is very good and a lot more practical than Fort Kinnaird in Edinburgh. This place is shaped like a crescent, so you can walk from one end to the other without worrying about being run over by traffic. In Fort Kinnaird however, there are lots of little roads to cross and when you are at the end with Boots and WH Smith, you remember something you need at M&S and have to trek all the way to the other end. There are a few things missing here however - Primark: I hope that they will bring one of their stores here if another shop closes. - Toilets: I saw signage for them but I couldn't find them. Had to use the M&S ones. - Places to eat: I know there is a Wagamama near M&S and a whole sheath of restaurants underneath the cinema but I will normally go to Silverburn if I want to eat. read more

This is an odd place, a weird blend of out-of-town style shopping and pretend high street. There is a good range of all the usual high street shops, Boots, Zara, Zavvi etc. The branch of Borders here is always very quiet unlike its city centre counterpart, which is nice. The whole place is open air, well not the shops themselves but the walkways between them. I think they have tried to achieve all the advantages of an out of town shopping centre (big and bigger shops, lots of parking, easy access) with all the advantages of a proper high street (open air, atmosphere) However this just seems to lead to all the disadvantages of both (no real atmosphere, aesthetic appeal or soul, some of the shops are just too far apart in the bad weather to not put your jacket on or brolly up unless you want to sprint). I think the biggest advantage of the Fort is the proximity to the M8, this means that if you drive it's easy to get to but every time I've been here the car park is just mental with people parked in completely random places. read more

Great large stores with lots of choice! good for buying things for your home! Pier, asda and next home are fab! Plenty of places to eat aswell, frankie and bennys, pizza hut ect and a great crepe stall! not so great if its raining as your are quite out in the open! plenty free parking! read more

Allegedly built on the site where gangs used to hold their 'meets' this is a development which has brought yet more service sector employment to an area of traditionally low employment. Gladly the gangs seem to have moved on and the site itself is well maintained with long sleek lines and curves. It's the usual range of shops most of which seem to have been super-sized making them feel somewhat unwieldy as you wander around the isles searching for whatever it is you're looking for. Outside it's fine, unless it rains, in which case your going to get wet unless you dash into one of the coffee shops or have remembered to bring a brolly. As at least one reviewer as already said, the place does feel a built soulless. read more

The fort has a good range of big shops with long opening hours including Argos, Hobbycraft, Argos, Boots and Next Home. There is also a choice of places to eat including Pizza Hut and Subway. All good so far now for the down side. The place seams to always be windy and cold even on a mild day. Difficult to get to if you don't drive although if you do there is a large car park. If going wrap up warm and take a windproof umbrella. read more

I hate this shopping park, it is not the same as Braehead, as it is open roof, and it is bit like a high Street feel, and it is too bloody cold, and not very nice. even in the rain, and it doesn't have enough toilets area, which it is poor. Even I dont like seeing the litters strewn all over the ground, as since then it is a outdoor shopping area. I think it would be better if it was converted to a indoor store, then I am sure many more people will come I have been twice, and decided never come back again ever read more

The Fort is a pretty decent shopping park in terms of the range of shops it offers. The actual shops are well laid out and stocked and I usually find what I'm looking for when I shop there. The big draw back of The Fort however is the fact that it's always freezing - even in the height of summer! The designers seem to have gotten it wrong by ensuring there's always a 'through draft' as you walk between the buildings. If you need to heat yourself up though - I'd recommend the Thorntons cafe, it sells great coffee and cake. Just one thing though, the service is awful so don't go in if you're in a hurry!! read more

Although the Fort has a great selection of shops, it's never top of my list of shopping centres to visit. I don't drive and find the bus services a bit hit and miss, so that doesn't help. But the layout is also a bit strange - it's fine if it's a sunny day but if it's raining it makes for a pretty miserable shopping experience, especially if you are walking from TK Maxx to Boots for example. They have long opening hours all year round, extended for the Christmas rush, but even at that it's not enough to tempt me to go there more than about once a year. read more

This shopping centre is always very busy and sometimes it can be a bit difficult to get parked. There is a huge variety of large (flagship, type) shops here and most notably the only Hobby Craft store in Scotland. Being outdoors is actually a benefit for the place, it doesn't feel as cramped as other shopping centres and it has more of a high street feel about it. There are plenty of places to grab a bite to eat and even a children's playpark, but sadly not enough toilets. Morrison's flagship store is situated nearby, making it an ideal place to go to combine getting the messages with other shopping. read more

This is a good sized shopping centre which is open air a nice change from the others around the city centre. The parking is free and there are various car parks all of which have parent and child spaces and disabled spaces. There is also a regular bus service so it really is accessable to all. The shops range is good including a large boots, outdoor shop in Blacks, sports shop in jd sports and jjb sports. There is an early learning centre and mamas and papas along with asda living. There are plenty of places to eat either take away or sit in including pizza hut, subway etc. The only thing is they do not have a marks and spencers. read more

I made the unfortunate decision to visit this place one Saturday afternoon. Never again. Three truly mammoth car parks all full to the brim with an endless queue of cars. It reminded me why I'm lucky to live in the city - I can walk to any of these stores in the city centre in less time than it takes me to find a parking place in one of these suburban shopping centres. There's nothing special about this place that justifies a visit and if you have to go, leave it until much later in the day... read more

Great shopping park! I always go to the fort because it's near my cousin's house so very usefu. Great variety of shops and restaurants. The shop i love most is boots which i think is massive! read more

Just of the M8 has a good selection of shops over 100 now and free parking. Has everything you would need including lots of coffee shops costa, starbucks and even greggs. Its always expanding with loads of places to eat prezzo,chiquitos pizza express tgi and cinema at one end and a new M&S 80,000 square foot store about to open. I live local but would say its easier to get round than town and doesn't feel crowded. read more

The Fort was hyped up to the hilt when it first came on the scene, but the over all reaction to the end product was a bit deflated. I like the Fort though, mainly because it is convienient if you need to pack a little bit of late night retail therapy in. It is especially great at Xmas, as it seems to be open most of the time, pretty much 24 hours! It can get a little crazy too! This outdoor shopping centre has all the high street giants including an outstandingly good New Look, a Topshop-Miss Selfridge hybrid store and a cracking Boots. You can also grab a bite from Frankie and Bennies or Nandos, or a take-away from McChans or Subway. It really has everything you would need from a shopping centre, but lacks the character of the City Centre. read more

I really like the Fort. The branches of shops such as Top Shop are huge and have a great stock selection. All outdoors so not so good on a miserable weather day. Does lack good eating places although they have opened a Nandos. Good creche facility although quite expensive. read more

The worst thing about the Fort is that is is open air - not great in the west of Scotland were it is raining a lot. There are good shops, some of which you can't get anywhere else, e.g. Hobbycraft. Also has TK Maxx, ASDA Livngs, Borders, Frankie & Benny's. I think it lacks a fast food place like Mconalds or Burger King. Although the car parks are huge - going on a Sunday afternoon near Christmas is a nightmare! read more

It's a good shopping centre, it's just a shame that it's outside, it was very windy when I was there last, it wasn't fun. Good shops though and nice friendly staff read more

OKwho's the idiot that designed an open air mall in the west of Scotland? Nicely shaped to act like a wind tunnel and open enough to let the rain in, they went the whole way and made the large motorway side of the mall like a giant mirrorno driving hazard there with a low winter sun! Apart from all the design faux pas, the shops are fine with some that you won't find in most malls (like the large craft store). It feels like there are relatively few stores for the size of the place and it just gets too annoying to walk outside between every store when it rains so often and most malls are indoor. Not somewhere I would frequent. read more
