    Great place to shop, plenty shops to choose from. From body to clothing to gifts & jewellery.

    Very few shops left now in the Arcade and only use it as a means of getting to the bus station. Used to be full of different shops which have all moved on to other towns.

    The placs is lovely and clean but lack of shops in wigan town center means I only go now if I have to

    Doesn't exist anymore in the sense all the shops have disappeared those last few hanging on by a hair, I take my hats off to you. It's a shame the council are letting it get like this

    A collection of independent shops with a little bit of everything. It's a shame the council are demolishing The Galleries as this will hugely affect footfall in the arcade and I fear for some of these small businesses.

    A great little arcade, will improve when the Galleries is revamped.

    Funky Figures is an excellent store for the young and old. With excellent statues and Diorama.

    Rather dated old fashioned arcade. A couple of nice jewellery shops. Cafe, perfumes, pound bakery etc.

    It's such a sweet and lovely mall. I enjoy shopping here a lot. They have lots of Shops inside including, JD, Sports Direct, Pondland, Bubble T, and so on. The ones I've mentioned above are some of the most common places from where I usually shop. They have a 2/3 food area where you can sit and enjoy your food with family and friends. They also have lots of parking space and clean as well as tidy Loos.

    The shops that are there are great. Unfortunately there is quite a few empty units. Well lit, clean and tidy

    It's alright. Al.ost nothing has changed since I were a child and it's just a good shortcut to Wigan center.

  • 5/5 Janette W. 1 year ago on Google
    It's sad how Wigan is losing that town centre feel. Shops closing and being replaced flats. I blame the online shopping, and cost of living crisis. Used to be a fabulous place. Hopefully, this new media 25 will bring it back to ots glory days

  • 3/5 Manna G. 2 years ago on Google
    Lots of shops closing. Need to attract more businesses in Wigan. becoming ghost town. I Love Wigan do some thing before it gets worse

  • 4/5 David W. 1 year ago on Google
    As drab as every other shopping arcade in the world, but not too crowded

  • 2/5 Jay Makin (. 2 years ago on Google
    Still can't ever understand why wmbc ever built this place destroying the old market hall ps who got the roof and floor blocks

  • 2/5 Anne B. 2 years ago on Google
    Haven't been to Wigan properly for many years. Such alot has changed. Alot of shops empty very depressing really. It used to be such buzzing place. I hope the planned regeneration makes a big difference and brings alot of people back to the once vibrant town.

  • 4/5 Bill W. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the last places worth shopping in Wigan. Visit while its still there.

  • 3/5 Dawn R. 2 years ago on Google
    Good for some purchases you can't easily find in High Street shops, but many items are without price tickets and the customer service on the shop floor is often lacking (some staff friendly and helpful, but others can't be bothered).

  • 3/5 Sue S. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited just after Christmas and New Year. Very quiet as most of the shops unfortunately were closed or closed down. Lovely little avenue of shops to browse, plenty of potential. General concensus from talking to shop staff was that footfall had fallen.
