    Nice enough shopping centre, very clean and a good selection of shops inside. One end is more commercial retail shops whereas the other is more a “Market” type feel. Toilets and centre very clean. Bus stops just around the corner and plenty of shops and stalls on the high street adjacent to the shopping centre.

    Doesn't really look too promising until you get inside and see what a great selection of shops there are. Good transport links, so convenient for anyone in the West Midlands to visit. Visited on a weekday so found it not overly crowded.

    I have been coming to the Mander Center since i was a little boy. It is a fantastic place, so many shops and mini events held throughout the year. The center prides itself on security and cleanliness. It is a great place for the family and i hope that my children love it was much as i do and have fond memories of the time spent here. Love Another World, Game, Food Court, Iceland, Toy Shops and many many others . Thank you to everyone who looks after this place.

    Great shopping complex to visit. Everything you need are available in the shopping centre. There were lots of selected shops where you can get good quality stuff at affordable price. It is kids friendly with lots of playing activities within. I love the game station at the square; it looks great and attractive. My kids love it as well. Nice centre.

    im so disappointed with what the mander Centre has become. Tesco should of stayed where it was. I miss the old mander Centre Its now become a shadow of its former self why ruin a once beautiful plesent shopping centre the heart of the centre has been ripped out. The pictures below are when I loved the mander Centre it should of stayed like this as it was at its best like this. Lots of shops a beautiful decor and my favourite fountain. If only it still looked like this now 😔😢

    The Mander Centre is a place which looks like it hasn't had an upgrade since 1994. The people are friendly, shops are limited. However, if you do like to splash the cash then there are a couple of shops where you can spend lots of money on designer goods. Personally, if I'm to go shopping then I would rather hop on a train or metro to Birmingham. Saying that, I have still found quite a lot of what I have needed in the Mander Centre.

    Place is a shadow of its former self. More shops closing than opening, limited companies and new ventures coming to Wolverhampton. Needs a complete overhaul and better leaders to steer into the future

    This is not the bustling and vibrant Mander Centre of old, but then again what shopping mall is? There are too many empty units and short term lets. There really isn't a great deal in Wolverhampton anymore. The council and retailers need to look at how they increase footfall back into the city with some sort of long term strategy. Otherwise, they run the risk of becoming non viable and that in turn will push more people to shop online.

    Not many people out and about a dull morning soon the sun shone and more people arrived slabs need replacing wobbly when walking Litter left a round outside on pavements and tables not cleared away didn't give good impression to sit down Although beef patties were very tasty Coffee I couldn't drink it tasted like the bottom of the pot bitter One of the staff put all the bottles at the front on the shelves did not move the old bottles forwards! Staff very polite.

    More stores are open. They're is a graffiti wall where shops are closed wish is really nice. The centre is clean and open with nice places to sit and relax. Whilst not as busy as it was it's a nice welcome since being opened up after the pandemic. There are even a row of arcade machines.

    I'm biased since I live around here but , the upgrades they have done makes the place over 9000!! times better. There's always upgrades happening and they make it prettier each time.

    Such a shame to see this place deserted with no atmosphere. Nearly all shops are closing down. And we are left with stores like poundland and savers. Topshop, next, beatties etc all gone. It's empty, the atmosphere is horrible and it's just not a great place to hangout anymore.

    Used to be a daily visit , as worked near by. Could not recognise the place! A shadow of it's former self. Can understand why people use merryhill centre, free parking and feels safer.

  • 4/5 Geoff W. 3 months ago on Google • 149 reviews New
    Last time I visited this grubby old relic was about ten years ago. Half of it was closed for renovations. Well, today it looked fantastic. Clean, tidy, and I only noticed one empty shop which had been Wilko's. Sad loss. Vibrant and full of shoppers. Obviously once more the place to shop in Wolverhampton. The gent's loos were clean too. In fact, a cleaner walked out as I walked in. One drawback, I walked past so many shops without going in, but as per usual, Google Maps wants me to review them all.

  • 5/5 Chris A. 3 months ago on Google • 136 reviews New
    The Christmas decorations were simple and lovely. The centre seems to attract families and everyone at home for together shopping since all can alway have something there. And when you are tired, you could stop shopping and have snacks or lunch. It has different access in from various part of the centre as well as access to the carpark below. Weekend attracts the most crowd as an outing or a park to take a stroll with your kids

  • 5/5 Nick F. 3 months ago on Google • 101 reviews New
    They have three pinball tables which are new and in good condition. The shopping centre itself is very modern and clean. There is quite a good selection of shops and many more outside the Mander Centre, making Wolverhampton a good city for shopping.

  • 4/5 Paul W. 4 months ago on Google • 14 reviews
    The centre is a shadow of its former self, but this is true for the majority of retail outlets. It's just a shame there isn't much choice when it comes to shops. The centre is clean with all the facilities you would expect and they have made an effort this Christmas, but in all fairness they always do. The Christmas grotto is worth a visit if you have little ones.

  • 4/5 Mahalia 5 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    Wheelchair access downstairs via side of the building also wheelchair access upstairs from three locations of the Mander Centre. Toilets available for everyone. Lovely location when hot ventilated when cold environment heated and comfortable. Wolverhampton excellent for quick shop or take your time before and after Christmas shopping.

  • 4/5 Fiona G. 1 month ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    Centre is developing but could do with more shops with formal women, men and children clothing. Went seeking to find something nice for my 16 years old son to wear out but hardly anything nice in shops.everything is all online. If you want a last minute dress, then your late " hard to find". Needs more development.

    Such a shame to see this place deserted with no atmosphere. Nearly all shops are closing down. And we are left with stores like poundland and savers. Topshop, next, beatties etc all gone. It's empty, the atmosphere is horrible and it's just not a great place to hangout anymore. We have like 6 greggs stores and 6 costa. Which is just not needed.

  • 4/5 Alex E. 11 months ago on Google
    Good shopping centre but needs to improve on having more seating area after a day of shopping 😁😁

  • 4/5 Neil B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice town centre only shortfall is lack of seating to take a quick break. Only 1 large oval seat available and was occupied by 6 Asian retired men who sat chatting for half a day 😫

  • 4/5 Mark R. 8 months ago on Google
    This car park has now moved over to ticketless number plate recognition. We found that even on what is supposed to be a "busy" day (Saturday) there was plenty of car parking spaces. It is reasonable for shopping, but there are a few empty retail units. It is not as vibrant as it once was. However, if you are familiar with it and know what you are looking for, it is fine.

  • 3/5 adam b. 1 year ago on Google
    Used to love going Wolverhampton but the whole place just not the same place seems run down don't help with road works everywhere. Wolverhampton as whole seems to have taken a hit for shopping but still has a few good shops flannels house of Fraser foot asylum

  • 5/5 Lange E. 8 months ago on Google
    Not as big as you may like it to be but just right for a metropolitan borough like Wolverhampton. It's a cool shopping centre, a place to meet people of all walks of life.

  • 5/5 Tany K. 1 year ago on Google
    Looks beautiful. Clean and crisp... It was a nice experience with the family. A lovely time for the children a bit on the quiet side could do with all the road works... But in all nice to be there

  • 2/5 Colin L. 1 year ago on Google
    OK if you don't want to buy clothes, shoes or anything worth more than £10.00. Loads of coffee shops but no up market stores. Its a shame our council has sold us down the river with our shopping centre. Still if you own a bike you can have your very own cycle lanes all over the city, because I've never seen anyone use them yet. We'll done our so called councillors.

  • 3/5 Faith G. 5 months ago on Google
    Decent enough shops in here with a range of budget & more expensive stores but it is incredibly tired & tatty. Water leaks when it rains, car park has a terrible layout & always a lot of rowdy teenagers on skateboard etc. The occasional indoor event with independent traders is always a nice touch. It just needs a bit of a revamp.

  • 4/5 Kaitlyn B. 1 year ago on Google
    Fair variety in shops and food available, fairly clean and nice space to go for browsing or shopping. Two toilet blocks are available. Well maintained and a good standard. My only real issue with the place is the lack of seating and bins. If you want to sit down youve gotta pat for costa or go to a cafe. Police are also present for piece of mind. Family friendly area.

  • 4/5 Adam S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice shopping centre with a good selection of shops inside. Has a mixture of commercial retail shops as well as places to eat. Toilets and centre very clean. Bus stops as well as bus station are just around the corner. Also there are plenty of shops and stalls on the high street adjacent to the shopping centre.

  • 5/5 Jenna R. 5 months ago on Google
    Visited this shopping centre for the first time yesterday and was so glad I did. This area by far has the best shopping outside of Birmingham. It was such a treat to see the lovely Christmas decorations as well. Will be doing all my special shopping in Wolverhampton from now on.

  • 3/5 James W. 1 year ago on Google
    It's an improved space compared to what it used to be, still lacking as far a other shopping centres go. The council must've realised no on wants to spend money in only £1 shops. Hopefully they'll be able to get more people in to shop locally. Maybe a cut in the rent and rates would see a greater improvement.

  • 3/5 Luke A. 1 year ago on Google
    I mean the effort to try and make it look good is there in some parts... but there is a dilapidated feel to parts of town now which makes it feel less varied in terms of choice and or appeal to visitors. But it's nice they're trying!

  • 5/5 Steve R. 6 months ago on Google
    Nothing but praise really for the Mander Centre. A big, spacious, well-lit mall which is kept immaculately clean, toilets are spotless and the Centre staff and security personnel are friendly and helpful. Couldn't ask for more.

  • 2/5 Mark L. 2 years ago on Google
    Apart from the pinball machines in the basement and a well stocked HMV, very few highlights

  • 3/5 Keith N. 2 years ago on Google
    Very clean shopping center, unfortunately like many of other shopping arcades the big store's have closed.Thanks for the small shops.

  • 4/5 Alan T. 2 years ago on Google
    It's still a little quiet there after the pandemic which is to be expected, but you can more or less get what you're shopping for few good stores recently opened a matalan and b&m etc,lots of little places to have a coffee and something to eat if you want, yes it ok

  • 5/5 Alan E. 2 years ago on Google
    Great shopping centre, but like others, finding it difficult to retain shoppers.

  • 5/5 Mark Z. 2 years ago on Google
    I quite like the mander centre. It has decent shops

  • 4/5 Carol G. 2 years ago on Google
    Still not overly busy. Very pleasant to walk around. Shops are all very welcoming. Nice and clean and tidy looking.

  • 4/5 A K. 2 years ago on Google
    I really enjoy visiting the Mander centre something I have been doing since 1980,s . It's clean and tidy and good range of shops , most importantly customer service in all the shops is top notch , a safe and freindly environment for a shopping trip , something which is important to me and my family .

  • 3/5 leonard “Big Lion” H. 2 years ago on Google
    It's OK. Walk in COVID19 vaccine centre opposite Raymond's plus some well known shops 😀

  • 5/5 Dannii B. 2 years ago on Google
    Lots of room to walk around, good selection of shops, some of the old favourites have sadly closed because of covid but still worth a look around.

  • 4/5 Roy B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place only problem parking,would be better if like MerryHill no fee can park all-day.

  • 5/5 Clive P. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place and it would be better if they stopped changing everything all the time

  • 3/5 Linda G. 1 year ago on Google
    Typical shopping centre, some good shops and some empty units! Parking good though rather pricy and has excellent, clean toilets! Sometimes has entertainment on the concourse!

  • 4/5 John C. 2 years ago on Google
    Despite the apparent demise of town centre shopping there is still a bit going on in Wolverhampton and there have been some welcome additions. For how long remains to be seen. It looks like we have voted with our feet and right click.

  • 4/5 Dee J. 2 years ago on Google
    A bit confusing when you enter and walk through the corridor-like hallway with glass doors that look like shops. One of these offer COVID vaccine jabs, so good for those that wants it. At the end of the hallway there's escalator stairways that leads downstairs where all the shops are including Wilko where I was headed.

  • 1/5 Linda M. 2 years ago on Google
    Council has put all the best shops in Wednesfield, Parkfields and AllSaints. Need to move HobbyCraft and the cinema from Bentley Bridge into Wton. Need to move Pets at Home, Pizzahut, Next and PC World from St John’s , Parkfields into Wton. Need to move Dunhelm Mill and Smyths Toys from AllSaints into Wton. Nowhere in Wton to even to even buy an iPad or a pet carrier. Not even many cafes anymore. Just betting shops, credit shops and dodgy pubs. Don’t mind the shops being at Bentley Bridge if the same shops were in Wton too. I won’t patronise Bentley Bridge. I try and support Wton but it’s so depressing now. Nothing left in the City Centre. Let’s hope Boots, Ryman’s and M&S don’t go.

  • 4/5 lisa h. 2 years ago on Google
    Always a pleasure to come to Wolverhampton mander center on a Sunday.. mostly all the shop's are open..easy to park too.

  • 5/5 A K. 2 years ago on Google
    Great shopping centre loads off shops. 2 floors off it and it has 2 centres in one. Worth a visit.

  • 4/5 Harish V. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good atmosphere over there different kind of stalls and different kind of eating shops there and people are shopping for Xmas and new year children young and old people's everybody enjoying there self over there overall very nice time out there 😀 👍

  • 4/5 Rodger 1 year ago on Google
    Paid £1 to park on Sunday which is a good deal. A few good shops inside although there is still a noticeable amount of vacant units. On a Sunday a few of the shops were closed which is unusual but it must be a thing here.

  • 1/5 Steve 1 year ago on Google
    Absolute disgusting i have lived here nearly 50 years and it has gone from a lovely town to a ghost city full of empty stores. It now consists of pound stores, beggars and homeless littering the doorways. If you do have to visit keep your valuables out of sight. Only excitement you will see is the security chasing the local shoplifters......

  • 5/5 Sylvia W. 1 year ago on Google
    Hadn't been to this centre since I worked for a company which ran the News kiosk there. Its a bright enough place to visit and houses many stores. I did pop into Primark for some clothing for my grandsons 11th birthday. Not a keen shopper any more as I need very little stuff but it was a pleasant experience.

  • 3/5 Melva G. 2 years ago on Google
    It's OK. The clothing shops lea e a lot to be desired. Too many cheap shops. BIRMINGHAM is much better

  • 4/5 Jade 1 year ago on Google
    It is slowly improving - better availability of shops here now instead of walking past loads of closed down shops! Parking in the multi storey is great too as it is incorporated within the mander centre.

  • 5/5 George T. 1 year ago on Google
    I used to work in here and in the years since I moved on they have really polished the place up nicely. Good range of shops, very clean too. I particularly liked to see the arcade machines with the retro games available to play. I can see myself nipping in for a few rounds of Street fighter 2 when I've finished my uni lectures for the day!

👍 It's not much of a retail park, you wouldn't go here to be browsing shops, certainly you would travel here for a specific reason. You have B&Q, Matalan, Halfords and Mecca Bingo. It's clean and well looked after (except for Matalan car park).
