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 customer service counter and help desk.
Situated on two levels, the market square is where you can find traditional market stalls. On the lower floor, there are food stalls, a butcher’s, baker’s, a fishmonger’s, news agent’s and delicatessen. On the upper floor, you can find stalls selling hardware and haberdashery.
Bohemia is at the rear of the mall. Here, you’ll find quirky, independent shops selling everything from new music CDs 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.
