Shopping Options

Pros:

  • "The Kingsgate shopping mall offers a variety of shopping options with various high Street stores such as Debenham, Marks and Spencer, Sports Direct, Clarks, Primark, Post office etc."
  • "Excellent choice of shops, from £1 bargain stores, to big brand name shops, and also everything else in between!"
  • "Loads of different shops to choose from, got multi storey car park above and lifts to take you to your floor so no need to worry about parking."
  • "This shopping centre is in Dunfermline High Street. It tends to draw people away from main streets as they have M & S, Vision Express, Large Debenhams, clothes shops, 2 travel centres, good cafe on ground floor central piazza."
  • "Regular small mall with the usual shops and a Debenham's anchor store. Close to the pedestrian streets of Dunfermline and within easy walking distance of parking and the historic abbey."
  • "Nice shopping centre, however, unfortunately the upper mall is pretty empty, with units available to let. There are plenty of coffee houses and eateries."
  • "Good shopping center, like the new car parking system."

Cons:

  • "It is a very boring high street with next to no big brand shops, this makes it a pain for shopping as you have to go to Livingston outlet or Edinburgh for decent shops."
  • "Sadly shops in the centre have begun to decline, not the same shopping experience you got years ago."
  • "If there ever was a reason why shopping centres are failing then this is it, too crowded, too little choice and too few stores."
  • "Lots of empty retail units, aggressive sales/charity employees every few metres, disappointingly limited retail offerings."
  • "All the basic stores you'd expect but is recently being overrun with tacky card shops and phone shops."
  • "Centre is lacking a few big name shops but is ok."
  • "Some good shops but a lot of empty units especially sad to see Debenhams empty."

Cleanliness and Management

Pros:

  • "Lovely little shopping centre, always really clean and presentable."
  • "One of the few centres left. Clean, full of shops, well managed."
  • "Security dept are dressed well and well managed by head of dept very well-mannered and always there to help."
  • "Three toilets- again, well managed."
  • "The place is nice clean and staff r respectful and security dept are dressed well and well managed by head of dept very well-mannered and always there to help."
  • "Great shopping centre overall with good variety of stores to suit most shoppers."
  • "Large shopping centre with lots of shops. Free toilets."

Cons:

  • "Awful car park. Small, narrow bays."
  • "Escalator still not working (since Nov) Parking fee machine on 'honesty' mode and cash only."
  • "Chaos, no social distancing, the place is always packed."
  • "security guards are not caring 1 but about the 1 way system or mask wearings, be warned in this place it's appalling."
  • "The Kingsgate has a one way system due to covid but this doesn't mean much to some of the visitors."
  • "The cleanliness etc is good but the removal of shops leaving either empty spaces or another bargain shop next to another is letting it down."
  • "Dull dingy dark dirty car park."

Customer Experience

Pros:

  • "Excellent day with kids again most major retailers under one roof as well as decent sized Debenhams with multi storey car park attached for convenience."
  • "most of the staff in most of the shops are very welcoming an helpful."
  • "Great displays at different seasons and regular local craft fares."
  • "There is a great car handwash set up in the multistory car park."
  • "It's easy to get around, especially as I use a scooter."
  • "Fully disabled accessible on 2 floors (lifts/escalators)."
  • "Got what I was looking for. Quite a few shops open and a fun bouncy castle for the kids."

Cons:

  • "Utterly unremarkable shopping centre."
  • "One star due to security guards."
  • "The shops are good and so are the facilities."
  • "Expensive parking and lots of smokers crowding the entrances."
  • "Won't go back to the parking 3 pounds 50 for 40 minutes."
  • "Bleak empty worn-out space with overzealous security officers who don't know their duties or even how to conduct basic public interactions."
  • "Feel that the car park should have a sanitise station as only one in use so more people are at risk."
