The Mall, Maidstone
Kent’s county town has plenty to offer
to satisfy all your shopping needs. No
matter what the weather you can really
get to grips with that seemingly never
ending list of people to buy for. The
Mall is where you can get it all done
in one trip, and enjoy some me time
once you’re done. You can stock up
on tinsel at the 99p Store, and for gifts
the choice is huge: BHS, Bonmarche,
Hawkin’s Bazaar, New Look,
Samantha’s, and Vodaphone are all
here for you, as well as plenty more.
Foodwise, you don’t even have to
leave The Mall to refuel; McDonalds
and Pizza Hut are located here, and
if you want a spicy hot drink, there are
many cafés that will give you as much
choice as you need.
