The tills were ringing at the weekend with visitors enjoying the pre-Christmas sales, with a few of them also taking time out to share their wish lists with Santa!
Rhona McGill from Galashiels, who was visiting with her soon-to-be daughter in-law, Mhairi Kyle, picked up lots of bargains from stores including New Look, River Island and H&M, said: “We are having a great day out at The Centre, Livingston ticking off our presents list and of course getting some nice bits and pieces for ourselves too.
“We tend to visit regularly as there’s so many great shops to choose from, and being indoors helps, especially at this time of year.
“We still have a few gifts to get, including aftershave for my husband, new pajamas too, which we’ll get from Primark, and then we’ll pop into one of my all-time-favourite stores, Yankee Candle, to pick up a few of their festive scented candles, which always capture the magic of Christmas and make for great stocking fillers too.”
Santa, who has been popping into The Centre, Livingston to greet families ahead of the big day for 19 years, also took time out of his busy schedule to pick up some surprises for Mrs Claus from Pandora, assisted by his helpful elf.
Patrick Robbertze, Centre Director at The Centre, Livingston, said: “This has been a fantastic year for us at The Centre, Livingston as we’ve welcomed so many new retailers including, MINISO, Flying Tiger and Wingstop, which helps to enhance the overall experience even more for our customers when they visit us.
“It was a win-win for lots of our shoppers at the weekend who also took advantage of the pre-Christmas sales and managed to catch up with Santa too!”
At The Centre, Livingston, which is visited by over 14.8m people a year, there’s over 150 stores and restaurants, including M&S, Lush, Rituals, JD Sports, The Entertainer, wagamama and Nando’s, and over 3000 parking spaces.
