  Not sure why they've named this place a hypermarket as there's really not that much here. The atmosphere reminds me of a deserted cowboy town with tumbleweeds blowing past. For such a big allotment its quite empty most times though it does liven up a little at night from people making pit stops on their way home from work I suppose. The car park has so much parking yet so few people and only a handful of cars park at the one convince store. there are 3 of them which stock basic essentials like soap, washing powder, bread etc. There is a petrol station next door. There's also a bakery which stocks basic goods like samoosa, pies etc. Nothing to wrote home about and the girls in that bakery have APPALLING customer service... they act so annoyed when asked how much an item is and like they really can't be bothered with a potential paying customer. There's also a small pharmacy, a vegetable shop and a few random shops that don't seem to get many customers. Some shops have permanently closed. This shopping precinct could be so much better than what it currently is, given the sizable population that live around the area and have to drive for bit before they get to a major shopping outlet. And as long as there is not much choice around people are forced to stop here. Bring in a trendy Cafe, a shop for kids, a gaming centre... shops that liven the place up!
