Shake Dog - Redditch

From the outside, one would never guess that there are numerous shops, cinemas, and restaurants housed within this building. It is a stunning location in Redditch, with all the major retail stores like Primark, TK Maxx, Wilko, Superdrug, and more.

OMG! Absolutely GINORMOUS! Certainly recommend putting aside a whole day if going for the first time. Most of the shops I use (and there were many), are rather larger than you would think they could be, so I'm going to go for at least half a day on my next visit

Good shopping center right in the city center. parking is a bit expensive and payment machines are easy to use and close to shops. there are some disabled rooms on the same level as the shops, but always very busy. also on other etagens there is space and the lifts are reliable and clean.

This shopping center is always evolving! At one point, it seemed to only have phone shops, then card shops, and now coffee shops. We used to have a wide variety of stores and smaller shops, but many have either closed down or left. It's still convenient to have a local shopping center, but we should focus on bringing in better brands and supporting small businesses. The management of the center should consider offering lower rents to local businesses and services within the center, rather than outside in retail parks.

The restaurant had a unique shape that I found confusing to navigate. Luckily, the security guard helped us find our way since there was no directory and we were unfamiliar with the area. We were pleased to discover a cinema and a McDonald's nearby. The restaurant was clean and free from any disruptive customers, making for a pleasant experience. I appreciated their use of an app for parking and contactless payment options to reduce paper waste. The payment machines were efficient, but clearer signage indicating the parking reference number would have been helpful. Overall, it was a different experience in a lovely setting.
