Three Unique Shopper Experiences

1. For the Busy Mum with Kids

A typical day at Cresta for a busy mum starts with a trip to the new Home Affairs to apply for her child’s passport. The convenience of having this facility within Cresta means no more long, tedious trips elsewhere. After getting the paperwork done, it’s time to reward the little ones with some fun. A visit to Cresta Town’s Pretend Play City keeps them entertained, and no trip would be complete without a stop at Milky Lane for a delightful ice cream treat.

Shopping needs are next on the list, with a stop at Checkers for fresh groceries and essentials. For clothing, UNIQ by Checkers offers stylish options for both mum and kids. Before heading home, they visit Babies R Us for baby products and toys. A quick visit to the Family Room provides a convenient opportunity for those on-the-go diaper changes. A perfect end to the day includes a relaxing lunch at Mugg & Bean, where mum can enjoy a well-deserved coffee while the kids have a hearty meal.

2. For the Diligent Student

A student’s day at Cresta begins with a quick, efficient visit to the Department of Home Affairs to renew their Smart Card ID. With this essential errand out of the way, it’s time to unwind. A visit to Exclusive Books provides a quiet corner to browse through the latest novels or study materials.

Next, it’s time for some retail therapy at Hoops Lounge by Shesha and H&M, where the student can update their wardrobe with trendy, affordable fashion. For a bite to eat, Starbucks is the perfect spot to grab a coffee and sandwich, ideal for a quick break or study session. The CrestAquarium offers a peaceful escape, allowing the student to relax and recharge amidst the serene aquatic displays before heading back to the books.

3. For the Busy Professional

For the busy professional, Cresta Shopping Centre offers unparalleled convenience. A trip to the Department of Home Affairs early in the day means important documents are sorted efficiently. With that out of the way, it’s time to indulge in some shopping at Freedom Of Movement and Kingsley Heath for sophisticated workwear and Socrati Shoes for comfortable, stylish footwear.

Lunch at Turn ‘n Tender offers a gourmet experience to savour before diving back into work or for a quick business meeting. Before heading home, the professional stops by Woolworths for premium groceries, ensuring that both work and home life are managed seamlessly.
