Read about the new shopping mall and answer the questions.
Gatesbridge’s new Merriwether Mall is opening this September. With an area of 320,000 square metres,
the Merriweather Mall will be the biggest mall in the south west. It’s located close to the motorway, has its
own bus station and 2000 car parking spaces, so it is convenient for everyone.
The mall has five areas, all under cover. The largest, Main Street, is a shopping area on three floors.
Here, you’ll find all the major chain stores and department stores. You can buy fashion items and all the
famous brand names. There is also a large chemist.
Situated on two levels, the market square is where you can find traditional market stalls. On the lower
floor, there are food stalls, including a butcher’s, baker’s, a fishmonger’s, greengrocer’s and delicatessen.
On the upper floor, you will find stalls selling hardware and haberdashery.
Bohemia is at the rear of the mall. Here, you’ll find quirky, independent shops selling everything from
second hand music and books to clothes and handicrafts.
The Palisade is more upmarket. Here you will find fashion boutiques, jewellers, antiques and
furniture. There are also two banks and a post office located along The Palisade.
The Showground is the entertainment centre of the mall. On the ground floor, there is a food court where
you’ll find cuisine from around the world, including Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Italian food. There is a
large arena where events will take place through the year. There is also an eight-screen cinema, a night
club and a bowling alley.
And if that is not enough, we are offering you a voucher which will give you £10 off any purchase over
£40 that you make in the Merriwether Mall between 10th and 16th September. You can’t afford to miss it!
