This latest phase is focusing on major improvements to the west Mall. Currently there is huge boarding shielding customers from the on-going work but the buzz around the shopping centre is excitement as people are eager to discover the latest milestone for Rushmere.
In the past year there have been some major changes at the shopping centre creating a modern and inviting shopping experience.
