THE countdown is well and truly on as Cranbourne Park management get set to unveil the centre’s multimillion dollar redevelopment.
In less than 40 days, the Cranbourne community will have the chance to explore the new and improved Cranbourne Park which has been totally transformed.
On Thursday 26 March, the $113 million dollar redevelopment will be revealed to the public which includes a stylish and family friendly shopping, dining and entertainment destination.
Centre manager Danielle Gunner said they would be thrilled to host the public in the new centre which boasted an exciting new shopping precinct, including major stores such as Cotton On Mega, Lorna Jane and Novo Shoes.
Marketing manager Allison Bailey said the store would also host a post-opening, three-week campaign to provide endless activities for families over the holidays.
She said it was important to thank the loyal community who had stuck by the centre throughout its development.The excitement will culminate with a performance by Nathaniel on Saturday 11 April.
The centre will also offer Coles, Kmart, Target, Woolworths and more than 120 specialty stores all under one roof.
In addition, there will be a new lifestyle and dining precinct with alfresco cafes, licensed restaurants and specialist coffee bar.
To ensure nothing is left behind, there have also been significant upgrades to many of the existing stores.
“There will be something for everyone,” Ms Gunner said.
She also mentioned 300 additional employment opportunities which will become available as a result of the expansions.
Cupids were out and about last weekend to promote the opening of the new store, and invite people along to be part of the excitement.
