Shopping Experience

Pros:

  • "Good variety of retailers."
  • "Lots of choice from many well known retail names..not too busy, the staff at many of the outlets were extremely helpful."
  • "Good selection of shops over 2 floors as well as easy access to the outdoor shops on the square."
  • "For a small town like Crawley, I think the management of this mall has done a good job in making it to look and feel like a major shopping place as much as possible."
  • "This is certainly the best of the shopping centres found in LondonGatwick."
  • "Visited County Mall Shopping Center for the first time this month and was delighted with the range of shops and restaurants available."

Cons:

  • "To be honest, this is not a fun place to shop and definitely one to avoid."
  • "Not happy, I went there as I was told that I could go to JD's to buy some trainers, but instead I was watched like I was a shoplifter."
  • "The mall itself is very sparse and bland. They need some colour and music, add some life to their stores."
  • "To be honest, it's a little depressing to go in there at the moment, with all the empty units."
  • "Not as good as it was. So many empty shops now."
  • "Like so many shopping malls, this one is struggling to draw customers in."

  • "Very high parking fees due to the time it takes you to get anywhere of any significance."

  • "Not pram or wheel chair friendly. Quite often only one lift working for the whole of the mall."
