East Gates Mall opens in Trincity

Postby redmanjp » December 2nd, 2022, 3:35 pm

why put a mall so close to another mall- literally on the same road

https://newsday.co.tt/2022/11/28/east-gates-mall-opens-in-trincity-bowling-alley-coming-soon/

THE East Gates Mall in Trincity will offer a bowling alley among its attractions, Edward Aboud, of proprietors George Aboud and Sons Ltd (GASL), said at the opening of the mall on Sunday. Perry Ellis, Princess Casino, China Town, and Kids and Candy were other coming attractions which were indicated by signs on display in the three-storey edifice, just a stone's throw from the popular Trincity Mall.

Aboud said while the mall's sod-turning had taken place in 2017, the concept and inspiration for the mall had long before been nurtured by his father George Aboud, chairman of GASL. Aboud said the mall was envisaged as "a place of discovery, learning and culture."

Offering food, retail, entertainment and personal health facilities, in an environment of safety and serenity, Aboud said, the mall would offer an experience not just for teenagers but the entire family. He said the edifice had a unique architectural design.

"More than 200 employees make up the mall's staff and security teams," Aboud elaborated.

Recalling a halt in construction during the covid19 pandemic, he thanked those entities that had stayed the course during that time, such as tenants and investors.

Aboud hailed the hundreds of craftsmen who had worked on the building.

"This is your mall. I invite you to bring your families so they can enjoy the fruits of your labour."

MC Wendell Constantine viewed the mall as a "lifestyle centre."

Among the guests were Housing Minister Camille Robinson-Regis, Minister in the Ministry of Education Lisa Morris-Julian, and Arima mayor Cagney Casimire.

Speaking as local MP for Arouca/Maloney, Robinson-Regis saw the mall as a "crown jewel in the constituency" and "an edifice of which we can all be proud."

She said that on behalf of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, she wished to thank George Aboud for having persevered in building the mall during the uncertainties of the pandemic, when he could instead have opted to ditch the project and recoup his investment. Robinson-Regis hailed Aboud for his "boundless faith" in the project and, more broadly, the country.

"What strikes me most about this mall is the emphasis on family entertainment. I congratulate the Aboud family for thinking about families in this area."

Noting the bowling alley – which is due to open early next year – she said this facility would likely serve to encourage men to accompany their wives to the mall.

Robinson-Regis also the nobleness of the project was seen in the mall's offering a sensory wall, to serve people with disabilities, including those on the autism spectrum.

"I thank the Aboud family for the confidence you continue to place in Trinidad and Tobago."

This investment is quite interesting.
If I am not mistaken, Trincity mall is presently on the market.

Trincity Mall has been making a sort of push lately. Halloween weekend was packed and since then they've been using formerly dead spaces to host activities. One weekend was badminton and currently they have a large projection TV running world cup matches. No doubt they on their way out but it's way less depressing than it used to be.

Ppl still going to malls though ? Like cinemas, another dying breed. Same goods offered elswhere with higher mark up costs. To each his own, however in these harsh economic times do we really need another mall

Ok, really, honest question

Who exactly gives a shite? Yes a guabine in a small canal (and that's exactly what they are when looking at finance from a global financial perspective), built and opened a mall, now what? They want a medal?
Sorry, no medals, but here's a reality cheque they can deposit.


The economy is in an economic downturn, with hundreds of thousands of trinis ketchin they royal skunt. Couple that with the basic fact that trinis don't bowl, and that it have another mall a stone's throw away.
The products of inbreeding go hadda eat that loss

They sent out an ad for a big security supervisor post. Hopefully they try to keep away the miscreants that plague the other mall. Idk what the beat up over a new mall is about tbh. Nobody forcing allyuh to go(shrugs shoulders).

The goons overspill in that area sure is a problem.

When i think Trincity….i think ghetto.

However they have some really nice properties and upscales areas West of the malls but they don’t associate themselves with the average Trincity folk.
