Whether you want to shop designer, small businesses, experience exquisite cuisine, or pamper yourself with one of their beauty salons, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Centre manager, Kelly Morison says tourism is important for businesses, but people from around Aotearoa or locals in Christchurch, can come to The Crossing to enjoy a day out. “Experiencing shopping at The Crossing is pleasant. You could spend a day here shopping, pampering yourself, or eating. “Take the time to enjoy the experience and explore the lanes to find little details we have created,” she says. Shopping in the fresh air and luscious environment is what creates the vibrancy and uniqueness of The Crossing. “We offer the experience of shopping in an outdoor mall, which lets you enjoy fresh air and space without overcrowding, while browsing for the perfect outfit or gift.” Kelly says there are not many cities who have had to grow ground-up in 10 years post the Christchurch earthquakes. “The modern environment of The Crossing showcases the growth we have done. We want to show this off to our tourists and locals. “We also want people from Wellington and Auckland to see and enjoy the future of Christchurch.” The multi-use shopping centre specialises in fashion, including supporting NZ designer brands such as Nicole Rebstock, Ruby and Workshop with their only South Island stores. As well as supporting local fashion stores, gift stores, cafes, and locally owned beauticians, The Crossing compliments these stores with more familiar brands, too. Stores such as Country Road, Witchery and H&M are amongst the list for you to enjoy while visiting. The Crossing gives back to the Christchurch community, including partnering with the Christchurch Women’s Netball Team Mainland Tactix and also participating as the named sponsor for the fashion competition at Addington Raceway’s NZ Trotting Cup 2022. Make sure you spend some time this weekend or plan a trip over the holiday season to visit The Crossing on Cashel Street Christchurch. Have a new shopping experience while supporting the local community and business to grow. To find out more about The Crossing make sure to visit thecrossing.co.nz. CT
