With malls beginning to rule the city, serving as an all-in-one entertainment destination, here is one more added to the list, promising to offer fun, shopping and entertainment under one roof, one banner. Shoppers, spoilt for choice, increasingly want more than just a comfortable shopping experience. And this extends to not only in-house entertainment for adults but for youngsters as well.
Thus, a hassle-free shopping experience now includes a place where children can be safely left to be entertained, with a convenient eating joint that offers varieties to cater to different palates while at the same time packing in a wide range of products for sale that covers not just clothes but also home furnishing and accessories.
The recently-opened shopping arcade, Oasis Centre, from the Landmark Group, promises to offer just that, with its fun centre, food court, clothing and home products. The multi-level shopping mall also boasts of a super market.
Its main attraction, Funcity, houses, besides the usual video games and gizmos, a play area for children in the age group of two to six years and car rides for slightly older children. The large food court, Polynation, houses quite a variety, ranging from South Indian, Chinese, and Tandoori to exclusive coffee parlours. Some well-known restaurants such as Fire Wok, Tandoor, Madras Curry House, Yellow Chillies, have their outlets there. The cosy décor makes Polynation appear more like a restaurant than a food court.
While the food court and Funcity cater to the entertainment, the main shopping area is taken up Home store and Life Style. The entire mall is seamless, with the home section blending in smoothly with the clothes, shoes and other related accessories.
While the Life Style and Home Store section display in-house products, a wide range of brands also find place. Top brands like Espirit, Tommy Hilfiger, Fcuk are housed separately under the clothing section. An independent shoe section caters to the exclusive footwear needs.
The Home Store packs in everything from soft furnishing, linen and table wear to home accessories like lamps, curios, gift items and such. Not to be left out are other requirements such as luggage, pots pans. To further satisfy the needs of children, there is a huge toy selection in the kids wear section.
Says Kabir Lumba, Executive Director, Lifestyle: “The Oasis Centre has been packaged as a family leisure and entertainment destination. It focuses on providing all-round leisure and shopping experience for the entire family with special emphasis on consumer convenience. It offers a perfect mix of a departmental store, supermarket, entertainment, international brands and food court, all under one roof.”
While conventional malls have different shopping outlets catering to different requirements, Oasis Centre is one shopping unit, carefully planned to house the varied requirements of a household while the children accompanying the adults have sufficient entertainment at hand to stay from being bored, he adds.
There is also the facility for smaller children to be entertained under supervision at the soft play area while adults attend to the shopping. Thus, you could walk in and finish the entire shopping for the household while your children seek entertainment in the fun zone.
Oasis Centre is located on the inner ring road, Koramangala and can be contacted on 40276400.
