This shopping centre have recently upgraded a previous parking space making room for more retail…read morestores to get in and for that it is a nice welcome. This place serves the needs and demand of the surrounding Eastern Melbourne Suburbs region and it seems to be crowded enough to see that it is doing financially good as well. They have as far as I can think of a range of cafes, restaurants, Coles, a fresh fruit and veggie market, Village cinemas, Specsaver, Westpac Bank, Commonwealth Bank, Krispy Kreme and lots of other retail shops.
