I went there for a movie with my oldest friends and came out laughing with drinks in hand. Big shops and places you can make bookings are put in massively convenient places. I will admit that the toilets need some work, they smell like sewerage, but what public bathroom doesnt.

For those of you who raised their eyebrows at that statement, join my club. We all find great bargains at this shop. There's no aircon, they prefer you to pay in cash, and it's not well lit, well sorted or well signed. But who cares? Cheap polar fleece!

This place is amazing and the best place to go for a great bargain on outdoor wear.

It's basically laid out like a warehouse with heaps of polar fleece, gloves, tops and all weather jackets. I bought the greatest lightweight raincoat here too. Most jackets are 40 - 60% off ... Sometimes more. Well worth a look.

Shopping centres by and large are a necessary evil that over the years we attend because 'one does…read moredon't you know!'. Cenro Oakleigh fits that bill nicely but I have also come to appreciate the smaller local businesses that have called Centro home for the many years I have worked along-side it. Coles Woolies and the ubiquitous hot bread offerings are there... because, but it is the clothes shops, eateries and bargains galore centres that dominate in a suburb that has placed a premium on BLING combined with cost minimisation. Centro is also a cosmopolitan nirvana where scores of characters stir their coffees while issuing vocal cues that require hands gestures to punctuate every line. It is a Black and White portrait photographers daydream as the individuals inhabiting the centre show their ethnic and social history on their faces. This is also a mature gathering that know their coffee and food, and expect it to be just so. The establishments that inhabit this centre and indeed the surrounds offer some of the best brews and cakes in the state because of it. To do less is to invite instant closure as droves of customers abandon ship for sunnier climes of which there are numerous iterations.

Centro is smack dab in the heart of Oakleigh which is predominantly a Greek district. The food…read moreshopping offering reflects this well. Apart from quite a few great food shops including a bakery, deli, fruit and veg, a few takeaways you also have two supermarkets in the complex. Woolworths and Coles. Personally I prefer Coles. There's more on offer and more varieties of everything. I'm bad at comparing prices so can't tell you which is better in that respect but Coles does seem more popular generally. There a good parking garage under the centre although sometimes, like on weekends it seems quite dimly lite (saving money??) which makes it feel a little unsafe. But maybe that's just me. Also a very easy walk from Oakleigh railway station. It does get busy here on a Saturday morning. If you have time it's also worth stepping out of The centre into Portman street. You'll find heaps of butchers and fishmongers and plenty of other things to keep you occupied.

This giant…read morewarehouse is a superstore, they have a large variety of jokes/gags, toys, costumes, videos, lotions and other naughty stuff. The store actually wasn't all that creepy, of course we giggled and ogled at curtained objects-and yes there were a few odd looking old guys hanging about the video section, but we didn't get any dirty looks from people. The storekeeper was really professional and friendly too. She made it seem completely normal and gave us good advice on which products to purchase and why. I had a fun time here, it was a lot less stressful and embarrassing than I expected. I'd probably be okay with going on my own now that I know how casual and judge free the place is.
