    Shopping Tips


    Top Tips: Before shopping at Argos use their free click and reserve service where you can see if your item is available and reserve it for collection the same or next day. You can then pay in the Aberdeen shopping centre store when you collect your item(s). See www.argos.co.uk for details. Alternatively shop online from the comfort of your own home and take advantage of special internet offers, including free delivery when you spend over £150.


    The Mall Aberdeen has two entrances and exits on Union Street, next to the Primark shop and another beside the Ottaker's and HMV stores. Each entrance to the Aberdeen shopping centre is wheelchair accessible. The rear entrance brings you out to Guild Street and takes you down some steps towards the Aberdeen bus and train stations.


    The renaming event of the Trinity Centre Aberdeen in 2010 was marked by the release of 100 blue balloons to signify the new brand colours of The Trinity Centre Aberdeen. Staff were dressed in 1980s costumes to reflect the history of the Trinity Centre since it opened first in 1984. For example the security guards were dressed as characters from the film Ghostbusters and the operations manager was outfitted like a flamboyant Freddie Mercury. Customers were invited to come the shopping mall dressed as 1980s characters and prizes were awarded in this fancy dress competition. The winners were dressed as Barbie and Michael Jackson and won a prize of £25 shopping vouchers to spend at The Trinity Centre Aberdeen. There was also free vouchers and kids entertainment such as children face painting.

    The Mall Trinity Centre Aberdeen was built in 1984 and named after the former Trinity Hall on which Primark now stands. It was due to open on 27 September but the opening was delayed and the Mall Trinity Shopping Centre officially opened on 12 October 1984.

    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.
