Physical State & Cleanliness
Pros:
"It's a clean, fairly modern mall that is fairly busy."
"The Oak Mall is in a good state of physical repair but that's the only positive."
"The centre is bright, spacious, and has a modern and clean look."
"Spotlessly clean but eerily dead."
"Always clean, with helpful, friendly staff and security."
"Cleanliness etc is excellent just not as busy as it could be to attract more businesses!"
"Clean, bright and warm but very little variety of shops although the stalls are good."
Cons:
"However there was a huge leak coming into the centre and it looked like the roof had collapsed there."
"Signs of regular drug abuse and alcohol abuse can be seen in the toilet."
"There are so many empty units now. There are hardly any shops left in the mall and there are pipes that are LEAKING FROM THE ROOF!!"
"Freezing cold. Buckets catching drips. Run down filthy."
"No toilets and the ceiling has been leaking at the same place for about 4 years."
"Terrible mall. The ceiling is falling apart, it is very unsafe."
"Dire and depressing, little in the way of real retail, plenty of empty units, charity shops and pop-up shops."
Shopping Experience
Pros:
"Quite a large mall with seating in the middle and coffee shops where she can leave the husband should he get overcome with shopping stress."
"Good location."
"Magic trip was well worth the visit."
"Nice shopping centre with some decent stores, including Primark and Wilko."
"Pleasant and clean centre with cafes and some common high street shops."
"Thank goodness for the stores that remain: Wilkinsons, Primark, Boots, JD sports, Game, Argos and more..."
"Great choice of retail, banking and cafe premises, there are a few empty units which I suspect was in the aftermath of the pandemic but, still a lot to offer."
Cons:
"I feel sad about the oak mall. It is failing for a number of reasons, but the main one is a lack of shops."
"Alot of empty store space with not a vast range of clothes shops to choose from, unless you're a size 14 or below."
"It's sad to see all the tourists from the liners walk through the town and either go for a train or bus to Glasgow."
"Not a big variety of shops on offer, mainly use Argos, Primark, Costa and greggs."
"The range of stores is ridiculous and there is no free parking, except for a Tesco one but technically, you shouldn't park there to visit Oak Mall."
"Not worth going shopping here. Most shops closed. The remainder are mostly betting shops and charity shops. Worst shopping centre in the west of Scotland."
"Empty units, waste of time experience, no branded or decent shops left, zero investment, place has nothing to offer the consumer or the town of Greenock."
Atmosphere & Ambience
Pros:
"WELL ... OAK MALL SHOPPING CENTRE IS A SPECIAL PLACE, I USED TO LIVE IN GREENOCK, NOW I LIVE IN AMERICA, I MISS THE TOWN ...I MISS EVERYTHING ABOUT GREENOCK... YOU ARE LUCKY TO LIVE THERE...REALLY LUCKY."
"The mall was bright and festive but a little disappointed that M&S had left."
"Ran a promotion here and it's one of the most friendly places I've visited."
"Clean & bright, has a very nice ambience and some great stores such as Primark, Wilkinson's and New Look."
"Ample parking across from the mall, with a good range of different shops for the area."
"Friendly employees are greeting the shoppers and visitors."
"Between Primark, boots, phones stores, Gregg's bakery and more you'll find exactly what you need."
Cons:
"Nothing to sit on in Mall."
"It's such a depressing place now and I would much rather go to Glasgow."
"Nice and clean, but really not inviting.....there is no buzz.."
"This is like the marie celeste. Never seen so many closed down businesses in one place."
"Too many empty shops now. Charity people taking up too much space and touting for donations."
"The Mall is looking very tired and not an attractive place to shop."
"Most of the shops there are card shops, phone shops, & bookies, all the good shops have shut down."
