- Greenacres Shopping Centre -
(incl. The Bridge)

Overview
Greenacres is located in Port Elizabeth, click here for more info on the city.Port Elizabeth does not have the huge sprawling shopping centres found elsewhere in South Africa (e.g. Johannesburg, Durban & Cape Town). The Green Acres & The Bridge Shopping Centres are joined and actually functions as one large centre. It is the biggest in the metropole but lacks personality and its layout normally makes for a lot of walking. However, If you're looking for the widest variety of shops this is the place to head to.

Part of the Greenacres Shopping Centre in Port Elizabeth(The other, mid-sized, shopping centre on offer is Walmer Park Shopping Centre. It caters for a slightly more refined and up-market clientele, is smaller but offers a more classy shopping experience. If you have to choose we recommend the latter.)

Greenacres serves approx. one million shoppers each month. It is located to the city's main highways and artery road systems. It has thousands of parking bays including under-cover parking. The Centre offers a good mix of shops including large fashion chains, a hypermarket, other convenience stores, electronic, gift, bookshops, pharmacies, boutiques, specialist shops (including a tattoo parlour…), forex outlets, restaurants & coffee shops, games arcade and cinemas (movie house).
