Very large, modern shopping center filled with a good selection of stores to take your money. From Claire's to Anime Gallery to a large children's store that reminded me of FAO Schwartz. The mall has an attached parking structure and elevators at more than a few points, and currently a carnival in the courtyard. read more

What can you say about a shopping centre? Well braehead has a lot going for it. First off there's free parking ( even some Electric car charge points ), loads of it, some of it is open to the elements and some is undercover in a multi storey structure so where you want to park depends on your preference and the weather. There are loads of high street name shops in the centre, which covers two floors. The centre has changed a lot since opening years ago, with the food court area changing from an all for one area, with very few well known names, to an area with a few big names with their own designated areas. Many shops have come and gone in the years but there is a good mix and it's definitely worth a visit. read more

Attached to the Braehead Shopping Centre is the Braehead Retail Park. To be honest, most visitors to Braehead probably do the sensible thing and stay in the shopping centre, forgetting all about the Retail Park. I say the sensible thing, because the shopping centre is warm and dry and has all the best shops - whilst the retail park is generally cold, windy and wet and contains the shops that didn't fit into the centre. Of course, there are a few exceptions to this rule. Braehead Retail Park boasts a whole host of home decor stores, including a deliciously big Next Home store and a German kitchen specialist by the name of Kütchenhaus. It also has useful shops such as Curry's, Halfords and PC World - in fact the general shops you expect to find in a retail park like this one. read more

Braehead is a great shopping experience, but not so easy to go by bus, bus stops change so often, leaving one confussed where to go. Car or taxi is a must. I love Lust, body shop, BHS, M&s, and a few clothes shops also. There is a shop for everyone there and it has late night shopping in the lead up to xmas, midnight i believe. There is a food court both upstairs and downstairs, to which you will find loads of tasty bites to eat there, my favourite being pitza hut. It tends to be very busy, but most shopping centres are all the same this time of year. read more

I'm not Braehead Shopping Centre's biggest fan if I'm being honest. I feel like the only decent thing this place has going for them is the food court. You can find anything here in abundance, don't get me wrong you will find what you're looking for, but I just feel like everyone is always rushing and desperate to get somewhere and pushing and flinging themselves willy nilly into oncoming pedestrian traffic. The apple store in here is reasonably sized but it's nowhere near as good as it's city centre counterpart, and the staff are nowhere near as friendly or helpful. The food court is absolutely enormous though, with every fast food outlet you can think of, and a couple of lovely looking restaurants on the ground floor. Come here if you're in a hurry, you'll fit right in. But for a wee day out that involves casual strolling, I'd head to Silverburn. read more

Well Braehead i have to say i do enjoy a good trip to Braehead though it isnt the same when i enter and exit the building with HMV not being their :( , the layout is quite simple and easy to get about the shops a floor above and a floor below and several entrances from all sides of the centre. I prefer here to silverburn as it feels more like a shopping centre than a overated posh pit....it has more choice of clothing shops and places to eat and it also has xscape nearby. Going here on the weekend is a nightmare its always busy and people barging in everywhere i would rather go first thing in the morning. Overall it is quite modern and has a clean look has a good choice of shops and places to eat it also has plenty entertainment with ice skating or watching the ice hokey. read more

I live near the Braehead Shopping Centre and it's brilliant for kids and adults there is free parking loads of restaurants kids events there is an area which is held next to Pizza Hut read more

Braehead is probably my favourite place to shop when I can't be bothered to find parking in the city centre. It has everything you need in one place and all your high street shops - minus a Zara, which they really need to open! It is all indoor which is excellent for all the gloomy and wet weather we get in Glasgow. There is also a large food court with a good selection of restaurants like Handmade Burger Co, Pizza Hut, Filling Station, Prezzo and Nandos. There's also your usual fast food places as well. read more

Breahead is a huge shopping centre just outside of Paisley. There are a host of shops from a huge M&S to all your usual topshop, hmv and boots. A real host of choice and quality. One thing you can be garanteed about Breahead, it will be abolutely choc-a-bloc at Christmas! However it is open till midnight int he run up to the holidays which is a seriously good time to get some proper Christmas shopping done as it is never as busy late at night as you think it will be. Been going to Breahead for years and I do like it a lot. It has however lost some of its better shops. The Warner Brothers one at the front with batman coming out of the window was always a favourite of mine when I was younger but that has left only to be taken over by another clothes shop. And, unfortunately, Paisley town centre has suffered the negative consequences of such a large shopping centre opening on its door step and is now rather redundant. Breahead is good blitzing your Christmas shopping of someone nice to go in the car if you're going to treat yourself to spending some hard earned cash! They usually have some kind of entertainment in the centre of the mall for the kids so they won't get bored either! And an ice rink at the other end! Gosh, the more I think about it the more I want to go back! What a great wee place! read more

I do love a bit of Braehead as long as Primark is actively avoided late night or at the weekend!!!! There a good selection of shops and theres always a bargain to be had. The transport links are pretty good and it's only 5 minute walk to Xcape which includes bowling, a cinema, indoor snowboard and a range of things to do and restaurants to eat at. read more

Reasonable sized food court, good selections of shops to choose from. But downside to it is with it being one of the major shopping centres, others being Silverburn & East Kilbride the shopping centre is a place to avoid during weekends & even more so in the run up to Xmas. Though there are ample car parking spaces & good bus links, it just seems to me that at times your kinda just in some over glorifyied cattle market being hearded in & out as fast as possible. read more

It seems now that the more luxurious Silverburn has snatched Braehead's crown as the best option for an out of town shopping trip in Glasgow, but as far as these giant, soulless retail expanses go, Braehead still delivers all you need. If you think up a name of any High Street store. it's probably here. There are few surprises, but it's clean, shiny, warm and with the usual food halls and snack outlets to ease the boredom of wandering round the shops. It's not a tourist attraction, but it does exactly as it's supposed to, and very well, so picks up four hard-earned stars from me. read more

I shouldn't really like the Braehead shopping center; it's a big, brash, white, clinical, soulless kind of place. But I suppose that's what they aimed for when it was designed. The center does serve its purpose very well; just off the M8, parking is free and there are always spaces in either the open-air car park or their neighboring mini multistoried car parks at either end of the main building, in front of M&S and Sainsbury's. There is a good selection of all the regular high street shops: M&S, Topshop, Gap, Boots, Early Learning Centre, Clarks, Whittard's etc. There really are no surprises here but everything is always bright and clean and I've found it an easy shopping center to get round with a toddler, either walking or in a buggy, so it's fairly child friendly. There used to be a wee boat that ran here from the Jamaica Street bridge in the city center in about 40 minutes but I think it stopped last year, on good days you could sit outside and you could have a coffee while listening to a commentary about the Clyde as you went, the only way to travel. I'm not a particular fan of the food court; if I were after a coffee I would go into the M&S cafe and for a meal across the road to Ikea. read more

I'd give this a 3.5 if I could but when teetering between the two I couldn't help but land on four stars simply because of the many great nights out I've had here with friends. Highlights of Intu include bowling, the arcade upstairs with attached laser tag, the Odeon cinema which is never too packed out and sitting in BarVaria watching everyone ski (I can't ski and don't know if it's ever going to be on my to do list tbh but I enjoy watching!) The climb zone looks a tonne of fun but I've not tried it yet. Low points are the Adventure Golf (see previous review) and the soft play, which is a whopping £10+ of both parents are attending too. The restaurants are all standard chain restaurants and there's a giant 'Spoons chain pub at the front too. These eateries constantly change. Honestly, every time we go there's a new one. Just now there's an Indian tapas place, Five Guys, TGIs and Chiquito to name a few. Plenty of choice if you want to grab a bite. There are also stores for outdoorsy things! Skis, clothing, bikes, hiking gear etc. I definitely can't think of another shopping centre with this kind of facility available so it's definitely got the hold on a niche market. I've spent many nights here at the arcade with friends trying to win the most tickets to swap over for terrible prizes. If you have kids or you're still a big kid at heart there's definitely something to do here. read more

I don't go to Braehead often since they moved WWE to the Hydro and I'm no longer queuing outside A1 Comics to meet some wrestlers. Yep, I have done that many times! Parking is good abd there's decent bus links from the City Centre. But I actually don't mind Braehead. It has the best Primark I've found, a Lush, Waterstones, New Look, M&S, Superdrug amongst many, many others. And there are plenty of good places to eat to cater for everyone. When all that's done, there's a Krispy Kreme nearby! You could definitely have a pretty decent shopping day here and grab lunch, i should really visit more often. read more

Not the nicest shopping experience. I go there as it's convenient but prefer Silverburn (I'll only pick braehead if I want to visit primark) or the city centre. Decent size though always crowded. Lots of empty shops which is always sad to see. Big food court which should cater to all tastes. Also nearby are Ikea, sainsburys, Next Home and, of course, xscape. Go here if it's raining :). They sometimes do shows or have reality tv stars visit, it gets mega busy so maybe avoid at these times ;) read more

Braehead is ok. I admit its not ny 1st choice of shopping centre i generally prefer the fort as its closer. The benefits to Braehead for me is the parking and the fact Benefit have a brow bar here in Boots so hello advantage points!! The food court has got a lot better over the years and there is now a Krispy Kreme which is always a bonus. Overally its decent shopping centre but nothing that would drag me over here specially. read more

Compared to Silverburn and the Fort, Braehead (or Intu Braehead) is rather dated. It might have the advantage with a big Primark and one of the biggest Ikeas in the country. Upstairs, there is a large Next store with a Costa coffee on the top floor. At the other end of the centre, there is a branch of M&S but it isn't really as satisfying as the ones at Silverburn and the Fort. There is a foodcourt but it is just the standard McDonald's, Subway, KFC, Nando's. BORING! Also the shops aren't like the big flagship ones at Silverburn, they are smaller branches. There are signs for IKEA in the centre but it is in the retail park and quite a long walk from the main centre. There are several car parks with footpath systems for pedestrians and free parking. (Unusual for Intu centres.) If it is to compete with the likes of Silverburn, it needs a bit of a makeover. read more

intu Braehead - Chaos everywhere! - Shopping Centers Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

When Braehead first opened in 1999, I couldn't wait to check it out. There was a real buzz around it. Before shopping malls started popping up all over the place, it was hailed as one of a kind - combining retail therapy with leisure activities and a few miles away from the bustling city centre. I was certainly impressed at the time - all the high street stores under one roof, a cinema and an ice rink, wowee! However, I'm now a bit jaded when it comes to Braehead. In comparison to the newer malls outwith the city centre, such as Silverburn which is so easy to get to, it seems a bit...well, boring. It contains all the shops you already have elsewhere. Having said that, I make a point of going here every year for some Christmas shopping. Its opening hours around then are excellent for those working awkward hours - it is open until midnight in the week before Christmas - and has a lovely, warm atmosphere at this time of year. It is easy to get to (frequent buses from the city centre) and convenient (all the stores under one roof). I usually find what I'm looking for. However, if you are after something a little bit more unique then you might have to go elsewhere. There is though more to it than just shops which I'm sure gives it much of its huge appeal. A huge ice rink, arena and Xscape prevent it from becoming outdated. read more

Went to Braehead after it had just opened and it became the regular place for weekend shopping. Recently though it has been doing a couple things that have grown to become very itrritating. The central area will often have large kid-friendly activities which turns it into a mob scene (right now it is the monstrous christmas grotto). You can avoid this by going upstairs but often you find a multitude of others doing the same thing. So trying to get from M&S to Sainsburys becomes a nightmare. The carts in the pedestrian walkways make it seem a lot cheaper. So, it is better than a lot of places around Glasgow like EK and such - Yes. Is it falling behind the newer complexes like the Fort and Silverburn? Yes. read more

This is a really accessible retail park with lots to offer. Unlike some that are situated in areas you can only get to by car (or with difficulty), as Eleanor says these shops are only across the road from Braehead, and consequently the bus stop! And with the massive car park it's unlikely you'll struggle to squeeze into a space. As the girls have said, there's a few great DIY stores here, including B&Q and for classy home interiors, Next. It's the usual retail park experience but the Next here has some gorgeous wallpaper and furnishings! Bizarrely, I also found my favourite lamp in the whole world from this very Next and have continued to use the lampshade despite the fact the years have made it look battered....slightly worrying that I won't throw it away! Perhaps another venture to the Next in this retail outlet is in order, it never fails to make a happy customer out of me! read more

Like most retail parks, Braehead is an absolute nightmare to get to without a car unless you fancy getting various different buses until you eventually end up here. I like Braehead, it hosts some of my favourite shops such as Topshop, River Island and New Look all under one roof. I also like the fact that they have a Lipsy store where you can get a gorgeous selection of dresses for the Christmas party season or other special occasion. It's also great for presents as you can get goodies from Boots, Lush and there are various different jewellers too. I was very sad to see Whittard of Chelsea close down but I guess not enough people were after tea bags on their shopping spree. read more

Of the local malls,it's my favourite. More shops than the others, bigger variety and a decent food court. Then there's the arena that's used for various events, including the comic convention once a year. Parking is usually easy enough if you know where to go, even on a busy Saturday but pretty much avoid it in December. It's not worth the stress. read more

A big mall with lots of high street shops. Same old, same old. I remember when Braehead opened it was a big deal, and we made the journey across the city (twice the distance to the city centre from where I live) to see it. I remember being disappointed even then. The fact that it has an ice rink is still kind of cool, I suppose. Other than that, it's not worth the extra distance. If you live out that way, though, it's probably a good alternative to the city centre crowds and cold. There are some good superstores, like Next Living and one of the electrical stores (Comet? Currys? One of those!) in the next complex along the road, which is good if you're looking for that kind of shopping. Ikea is also close by, which is a bonus! Overall, not that different than your general city centre high street shopping. The food court has a fairly big selection, but nothing special. Great if you live in Renfrew, not so much if you're travelling farther than you would into town. read more

Another shopping centre... do we really need to waste more petrol to stray towards the edge of the city to come face to face with the same shops we left behind in the city itself? Without any particular appeal, such as a bigger size than other malls or some featured shops that are not present in other areas of the city or country, there's no real draw to come here. Another faceless, glass and metal blob of a structure designed to suck in more money, with just the same old same old. Don't bother. read more

Good sized shopping centre situated just off the M8 beside Renfrew. Split over 2 levels there is plenty of choice. Shops include Bhs, ELC, Dorothy Perkins, Burtons, Birthdays and Whittards. There is also some large stores of Primark, Sainsburys and Marks and Spencers. New Look is moving into the old Woolworths site so should be a good size too. For eating they hae a food court which is also split over 2 levels - Mcdonalds, Pizza Hut, Kfc and Aulds. There is plenty of parking situated round the centre including a multi storey. Can get pretty busy especially at the weekends. I prefer this shopping centre as opposed to Silverburn when shopping for presents (esp christmas) as there is a wider range of shops here. read more

Good for a browse Good choice of shops Food court too Handy for where i live close by read more

Ok shopping centre, the shopping centre is not as great as some others but made up with the fact it has good places such as xscape only a few minutes walk where you can find good food and cinema. Lots of shops for sportswear and sports shoes! not so great for female clothes shopping or gifts. Free parking and xmas grotto read more

When it opened, Braehead was heralded as the saviour to regenerate the riverfront area it replaced. However, like many shopping centres, it is an ammalgamation of nationwide chains, with stock little different from other centres. Advantages are a large food court, with decent variety. A large Sainsbury's means you can do your grocery shopping whilst you're there. There is a retail park literally next door which hosts a large Currys, PC World, Halfords and a furniture store. There is also an Ikea very close by. The newly opened Xscape centre has various activities, as well as restaraunts; there is a cinema too. All in all, Braehead is an excellent destination if you need somewhere warm to spend your day, with plenty of options to keep you busy! read more

Braehead is a good shopping centre - bright and spacous with shops located over 2 levels. There are over 100 stores across its shopping centre and retail park - shops like comet, and pc world are situated outside the main shopping mall. There is a food court on both levels with a variety of options - macdonalds, kfc, pizza hut etc Shopping centre does tend to get very busy at weekends, despite it being open to midnight in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Yuo can buy braehead gift vouchers which are accepted in all the shops within the centre so make an ideal gift for people you aren't sure what to get. Ample parking avaiable over a series of multi story car parks. read more

Braehead is where I'll be doing my Christmas shopping! You could honestly spend a full day here - eating every kind of food imaginable, buying every kind of item imaginable. A few large stores i.e. H and M, Marks and Spencers etc. as well as a few smaller shops. All undercover and easy to get to - ideal for rainy days. read more

I can remember when the Braehead shopping centre opened, they promised that it wouldn't suck the life out of Paisley town centre they were wrong. Braehead is vast, spread out across two levels and including a mediocre food court and a small circular ice rink where you can eat a burger and watch skaters going around and around and around. As far as the shops go I always equate Braehead with clothes shopping, and it's true enough virtually every shop in the place sells clothes as the main focus of their business, in fact I'd go farther and say they sell women's clothing more than anything else; this small point kind of renders my interest very low when it comes to shopping here. I can get what I want elsewhere and it's a bit of a hike for not a great deal of variety if you live any distance away. read more

I love going to this store, and still goes there every time. as it is quite easy to get in, as it is just right off the M*, even it is also very easy to get out of there as well. Vast area of car park, and you will find a space without any problems. but in the festive seasons, it tends to get filled up quite quickly. However in the mall area, there is two floors, and there is vast array of stores, which it is great to go as it is all in one roof. Even it boasts a selections of restaurants. Provides a excellent toilet areas. Kids friendly area, and very disabled friendly. Worth a shopping experience ever. Ever since it have opened it doors, and I have gone, and still goes there all the time. Never have any criticism about this mall. read more

Intu Braehead is my favourite shopping centre in Glasgow! (Not only because it's closest to me). Firstly getting there is easy, it's just off the M8 motorway if you're driving, and there are bus links from Glasgow, Paisley, Greenock etc as well. The centre is modern and tidy with a wide variety of shops and restaurants and is ideal for all ages, family, couples or just a day out with friends. They have all the big name stores such as Boots, Primark, M&S, New Look, Superdrug and 100s more. There are plenty of restaurants in the centre itself but if you need more, there's the Intu Soar centre just 3 mins walk away! read more

This huge shopping centre is situated just outside Glasgow, you can reach it easily from the M8 motorway, about 10 mins from the city centre, or easily reached by bus from the city, or train via Paisley Gilmore street. The centre has loads of parking on multi-level car parks and outdoor, so there always somewhere to park. There are loads of shops to choose from, a food court with the usual fast food outlets as well as healthier options, and several large departmant stores, as well as a large sainsburys supermarket. The shopping centre is quite well laid out, it is a bit of a hassle getting to and fro all the shops (as all shopping centres are in my opinion!!) but if you plan it a bit, I suppose it would get easier with practice! It is open until midnight in the run-up to Christmas, so is an excellent way to get your shopping done under one roof although not all the shops within the centre are open that late all the main ones are. Ive always had a dislike for shopping centres but even I have to admit they are handy for getting a few items in one place, and this eliminated the need for going into a busy city centre, although it can seem just like one massive city centre street when its busy at Christmas and the weekends! If you know what you want or even just want a wander round some shops its a good place to spend spend spend! read more

Well it has been open for a good few years now. I would say it is one of the best shopping centres that you could visit. It is modern and it is always clean, with a large variety of shops that you can visit, from ann summers to sainsbury's. They have it all clothes shops,stuff for the house, music and video stores, there is also a large retail park out the back of it which has next and other stores, Ikea is near by too. A variety of places for food when your hungry, which you most certainly will be with walking around this huge place. There is plenty of parking, but it can be busy at times and hard to find a space. Not only does the centre house shops, but there is also an ice rink which is always popular especially with the youngsters, as well as a cinema, and an arena. It is very known for concerts and the ever so popular WWE wrestling events which take place. The only shopping centre that would give Braehead a run for its money would be East Kilbride shopping centre. read more

Braehead Shopping Centre is handily situated just of the M8. It's easy to get to and thankfully easy to get back out of. There's plenty of parking, lots of toilets dotted around and even a baby feeding area for breastfeeding mums. Not sure if this means they'd rather you left the feeding under cover though. I must admit the baby feeding area stinks a bit with the changing area situated just next to it round a half height partitionmust put the kids off their food a bit! As far as shopping goes it's mainly clothes shops, with a few gift, mobile phone and electronics shops dotted around for balance. It's ok, you could manage all of your Christmas shopping here at a push and there is a good variety of places to eat. read more

Now that Braehead has been open it lacks the appeal and with Silverburn just a few miles away it has take some of the custom way. Personally I don't like it, I have always found that the parking is miles away from the store and also access from the M8 is long. In terms of distance it is less than 1 mile but can take 1/2 hr to get to and from Braehead back to the M8 - traffic planners take note! Good variety of shops which can be found in the city centre. read more

Tidy and well looked after centre, very seldom do i see rubbish etc. the shops are good but not a wide selection and the same shops you can get any big centre really. read more
