A much awaited shopping mall has
been inaugurated yesterday and is open now. This is just the second mall after
Caculo mall in Goa. It was always questioned why Goa doesn’t have shopping mall
despite having so many tourists round the year and also good income levels of
the Goans. Most people who know Goa well would agree that there was a critical
need of modern styled shopping space such as Malls in Goa. With only one mall
(Caculo) present in Goa that too of small size, Mall De Goa, with its recent
entry, would certainly bridge this gap to some extent.
Very conveniently located on the
main road of Porvorim (on the road connecting Panjim and Mapusa), this is a
mid-sized mall with ground plus two floors. An escalator from the centre of the
ground floor atrim and 3 elevators from towards the back looks sufficient for
vertical transport. The ambience, space and design is attractive and
convenient, however not comparable to large malls in metro cities. Number of
brands and shops inside are reasonably good for the size of shoppers in Goa. At
the time of writing this post, the mall was just inaugurated and most of the
shops inside it was yet to open. The parking was planned in the basement but
was yet to be started.
Big Bazaar, fbb, Marks and
Spencers, Max, Shoopers Stop, Levis, UCB, Tommy Hilfiger, Nike, Wills
Lifestyle, Pepe Jeans, Allen Solly, Calvin Klein, Lee, Wrangler, RayBan, Fab
India, Van Heusen etc. are few retail outlets inside the mall. Inox for movies,
game and funzone, food court, fine dining restaurant (yellow chilli, Ritz
Classic etc.), book store and a music store is also present. Overall, Goans and
tourists over here are surely going to get new shopping options and convenience
which was missing from Goa till now. Big Bazaar timings mentioned as 10:00 am
to 10:00 pm.
