Community Focus with Edmonton Green Shopping Centre

WE ARE EDMONTON GREEN SHOPPING CENTRE;

COMMUNITY IS OUR FOCUS

Brighter days are coming and summer is on its way. Rules are lifting and retail and food outlets are now offi cially back to business. Edmonton Green Shopping Centre is buzzing and we, as a team, are so excited for what we have in store for you in the coming months…and the future.

You can’t buy happiness but you can buy local

We’ve always been one to support our community – it really is at the heart of everything we do - and the pandemic has truly helped us cement that belief even further. With campaigns in the media about loving local, we have made more of a conscious effort to ensure that we are working with local businesses and accessing more services within our borough. We have recently appointed a local marketing agency, Blaze Communication from Bush Hill Park, to work on all marketing and events within the Shopping Centre. Having partners closely connected to our vision, passion for the community and becoming fully emersed with our future plans for the Centre is very exciting.

The Centre is also getting two mini makeovers; one on the concourse and the other in the North Square. We have teamed up with Enfi eldbased Tiger Monkey to create a community themed artwork to brighten the surroundings on the concourse whilst the North Square will be receiving a wave of the magic

wand from locals, Doodle Designs, to create an imaginative play area for our younger guests. Working with other organisations and individuals aligned with our vision and who have a real vested interest in helping and supporting their local community too is like a breath of fresh air. The energy and excitement are infectious and the entire team is on the same mission.

We have been able to further support our community by creating two new job opportunities for 16 to 24 year olds in the borough through the Government’s Kickstart scheme. These roles will be within our marketing team and we cannot wait to get this moving.

Buzzing retailers, new look and community spirit

The Centre really has felt like a completely different environment since retail and food outlets were offi cially given their green lights. And it’s been such a pleasure to see more of our community out, supporting local. Yes, safety measures are still in place but that doesn’t stop people enjoying their experience.

We hope that all our guests appreciate the little touches we are putting in place within the Centre, including our motivational signage and Little Free Library. Our 100 year old market, which all our locals have come to love, is also getting a refresh and we can’t wait until it is all complete.

Supporting local charities and community groups is also an integral part of our vision at Edmonton Green. We’ve created Edmonton Cares which enables a different group or charity weekly a prime fundraising spot in the North Mall at absolutely no cost.

To top it all off, we are so proud to announce that, this year Edmonton Green Shopping Centre will have its fi rst ever Santa’s grotto allowing our local children to visit the big man himself and send their letters to the North Pole. It is going to be a magical event for all the family to enjoy.

What the future has in store

But it doesn’t just stop there. We have been in consultations with the local community about our future plans for Edmonton Green to make it safer, trendy and an accessible place for everyone in the community. You spoke. We listened.

We are proud to be a community focused shopping centre and always will be.
