The Mall Preston, formerly "The Mall St George", or "St George's Centre", is a shopping centre in the city of Preston in Lancashire, England.

Ownership

The present shopping centre is owned by the The Mall Company, and is often traded as just 'The Mall'. Before takeover by The Mall, the centre was owned by an independent company.

Centre information

The shopping centre opened on 22 March 1966 as "St George's" Shopping Centre. It was originally an open-air centre and was roofed over during refurbishment in 1981. It was further refurbished in 1999. [Holland, P. (1996) "Nostalgic Preston", True North Publishing, Halifax, ISBN 1-900-463-50-4] The centre has large halls and promenades, lined with shops and stalls. Glass roofs and walls are also evident in the centre. The shopping centre has a large glass-roofed atrium in the centre, where there is a Costa Coffee cafe.

Redevelopment

When The Mall Company took over the centre, they were greeted with an aging shopping centre. A massive development scheme was planned, and small stalls, main shops, cafes, restaurants, toilets, and escalators were overhauled. The introduction of television screens in the shopping centre has given information and news to the shoppers in the centre. The Mall Company has also put 'Ask Me' points in the centre, so that shoppers can ask members of staff directions and other information.

Transport links

The shopping centre is located between the two main streets of Fishergate and Friargate, and can be reached easily from several transport hubs, including Preston railway station and Preston bus station. The centre is linked with the Preston Park & Ride and Preston Bus services.

The shopping centre runs its own multi-storey car park above the centre, which can be accessed from Lune Street.
