Wow! What has happened to Macquaire Myer's? The last time I was there I couldn't get served…read more Yesterday I was so well looked after even in the changing rooms. Thanks to the lady in the David Lawrence section. I will be back.

Service here is slower than molasses in the dead of proper winter. Why in this day and age are…read moreclerks chatting up uninterested customers when there is a line? You have those same earrings and got them for your daughter for Christmas, you say? Let's play a game of jeopardy. Answer: zero. Question: how much anyone cares after waiting in line while doing the I-have-to-pee shuffle. You may have thought I was just showing off my sweet moves. While those moves were undeniably sweet (it brings all the boys to the yard), they were unmistakably that of someone with a full bladder.

The staff here are very helpful, calm, keen to help without being overbearing and genuinely interested in their customers. It's not often that one can shop and browse for hours in such a calm and friendly atmosphere. If I needed some help, staff were easy to locate and , this caught my attention and gets full praise, stopped what they were doing and quietly gave me their full attention while I was approaching them.....even before I asked for help. Great customer service.

The summer collection of shoes are just calling me! "We won't last long..the weather is changing…read moreand the days are getting cooler...but we are on special dear friend...pure leather, style and comfort" How can I not be tempted by the call of the shoes so nicely displayed in the window. The shoes are just beside the range of young, looking clothes that make me think maybe I could get away with that shirt and shorts just one more time. Oh dear...to be still young at heart! Anyway the store was pleasantly quiet and the young whipper snapper was charming. I couldn't believe the teeth...he had a Colgate ring of confidence and a sparkle that almost sent me blind. He was friendly but not intrusive when I tried on the shoes. The shoes were a perfect fit. The price was more than I expected...but the whole experience was worth the sale. The clothes in the store are what I have seen before as there are many Industrie stores out and around but this shop was just in need of a customer. I wasn't hassled into buying something I didn't want. After having a coffee at a nearby cafe and walking up to the store in the plaza area I was totally relaxed and in the mood to shop. Oh dear....someone once said to me recently you must be a centipede.

The shop is open until 10 pm and the parking at Top Ryde is excellent at this time.

I feel Big W has a nicer clothing selection if you are looking for everyday pieces. They have the Peter Morrissey range which is great for ladies work/office attire and only have recently launched Lee Cooper a casual brand for ladies, mens and kids - great new addition!

If you need assistance to get around there is the courtesy go mobiles...thought about putting mother in one as she was taking too long to shop. Honesty they are great for anyone who can't walk too far. This shopping centre is spread out and to get from one floor to the other is a walk. The lifts are very slow and a wait. There are many restaurants on the outside of the centre and are open quite late. This shopping centre has it all, restaurants, cafes, good shops, supermarkets and movie theatres. Parking can be an issue....my suggestion is drive to the top and make your way down.
