H Samuel Review
More Aberdeen shopping centres.
Littlewoods was located where Primark is now at this Aberdeen shopping centre. It closed in early 2006 around the time when the Trinity Centre was renamed to The Mall Aberdeen and Primark opened
on the 9 December 2006. At the time it was the largest Primark shop in Scotland.
Before the Trinity Centre Aberdeen was built the front shops on Union Street were Littlewoods, McMillan's and Timpson
Shoes (where the front to the Mall Aberdeen is now located). The Pizza Hut restaurant next door was the Lyric Restaurant in the 1970s.

Easter Egg Appeal
Each Easter The Mall Aberdeen holds an Easter Egg appeal. Shoppers to the Aberdeen shopping centre are asked to donate an Easter egg of any size which are then donated to children's organisations
and charities throughout Aberdeen City. These include Barnardos and the Torry and Mastrick family centres. In the first year of The Mall Easter egg appeal in the year
2000 there were 200 chocolate eggs donated. In 2006 this rose dramatically
to 2202 as more generous Aberdonians learnt of the Easter egg appeal. The 2007 Easter egg appeal was started by Torry Academy pupils.
Over 2500 were collected and from the 23 Mall centres around the UK Aberdeen collected the most proving the generosity of Aberdonians.
In 2007 the Mall Trinity Shopping centre in Aberdeen underwent a £1 million refurbishment. This was the first time since opening in 1984 that the roof to the
Aberdeen Shopping Centre had been worked on. The aluminium vaulted ceiling was replaced with a new roof that would allow more light into the Trinity Centre making it
much brighter and lighter for customers and staff.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
On the 17 December 1992 the famous and much loved car Chitty Chitty Bang Bang came to visit the children at Aberdeen Trinity Centre shopping mall. Chitty
Chitty Bang Bang was driven by Santa Claus to the Aberdeen shopping centre and the event was arranged by Debenhams with the help of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's owner
Pierre Hicton. If you have a photo of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang during its Aberdeen visit that I may use on this AboutAberdeen page then please contact me.
