Can anyone tell me If the new Kings Avenue Mall is open or when it is due to open. It was still being built the last time we were here with a opening date of October.

Not quite finished but very close.

They say that it'll open at the beginning of November, so pretty soon. We'll see.

Carrefour, Jumbo and some other stores are already stocked and ready to go

According to their facebook site they will open the doors on November 7th for the first wave of shops to open and then the second wave from November 14th onwards.

Still looks like a building site to me at the moment, however they are trying to get the entrance to the car park from the road sorted.

I must say how impressive it is that the naked steel frame has been transformed so quickly.

Thats great as we are arriving on the 13th of November. Better bring extra cash just in case.

Does it mean there will be two Carrefour in Paphos now?

I was speaking to a lady who's husband is shopping fitting in the Mall who says there is no way it will be on schedule.

this is the normal public perception but it's surprising what can be done in the last few days, given the huge financial penalties which could be imposed by the individual stores upon the developer (loss of business), and given the strength and will of the Project Manager (if there is one). Let's see!

Yes it does

 

[stillystarkles]

Yes it does

steveb45 see you are a fellow brummie. Do you live in Cyprus or plan to?

 

[stevedb45]

Hi Stilly,

Yes I am from Birmingham but now living over here in Cyprus. We moved over here in April and we're loving the new life and weather

Good luck with your trip when you come over next month -- hopefully the weather should still be good -- well certainly warmer that the UK

Regards

Steve

I don't want to sound too negative, but I fear for local, small shops in the harbour area and old town.

So do I, I also hope that it won't be another "high street clone" with all the same stuff in all the same shops

A very good friend of mine runs a busy restaurant in Bar street, and although he has a "wait and see" approach, I can tell he is worried. Personally, I think that the people who want a nice relaxed evening out in the Mall probably belong there - I cannot think of a more soul-less place to spend time....

also the dual carriageway on Tomb of the Kings Rd, that can't be helping the small bars and shops.

isn't there supposed to be a new cinema as well?

I'm member of a group on Facebook and the Pizza Hut owner lady took some pictures inside, I'm not sure you can see them but I add the link anyway:

I read the Mall is now due to open on this Thursday, the 21st.
I suppose only time will tell.

A friend of ours has got a job in one of the cafes, and she says they are opening on 23 November. Who knows!
