MacArthur Central Shopping Centre

This is a small shopping centre but it has some good big retailers, Woolworths supermarket, Big W for clothing/homewares etc, and JB Hifi for electronics. There is a small food court on the upper level with variety and reasonable prices.

Woolworths chain of stores i.e. Big W & BWS as well as some takeout, can get quite busy during the week and may result in a pancake deficit.

Only reason I come here is that the Woolworths is the only decently priced and ranged supermarket in the city.

Good variety of stores easily accessible from Queen Street. Includes restaurants and restrooms.

Commander-in-chief then General Douglas MacArthur occupied the boardroom on the 8th floor from July 1942 to November 1944! A distinguished interwar commercial building with a fine traditional classical facade appropriate for a conservative financial institution in an advanced structural system!

Have always had good service each time I have been there but replenishment of products on shelves needs to be improved

The lovely old building that Apple is in is just ‘wow’. So fortunate that such fine work of Art still exists for our appreciation! Love to see more!

This shopping centre has been nicely renovated on the historic site of the MacArthur building which was built in the thirties and even used as an army headquarters. It has a wide variety of shops including a food court. It’s located in the city centre and there are plenty of parking garages nearby as well as on site.

What is the toxic smell in the air? Why would you subject people to this? I have a headache and feel like throwing up. This should be illegal to poison air in public spaces. Disgusting and very concerning for the people who work there all day breathing that toxic air.

Its a nice place, there is a large variety of places to visit. Expect pricy items but always good to go to when sales are on. Probably best part about the 0pacw is the atmosphere, relaxed and chill

Four levels and a historic location. Good variety of stores and a great spot for tourists. Woolworths here is handy.

The retailers and amenities are nicely appointed but the entire experience is let down by the incredible parking fees. Let down hard.

Starting at $13.00 for 20 minutes, parking here will very quickly cost you close to $100.00.

Yeah it's ok I only go here for big w not much else that would attract my attention have since found a target closer to home there all the same

I mainly just cut through here on my way to/from work - occasionally stop in Woolies which is handy. But by my hometime the stench of air freshener in the shopping centre is headache-inducingly unbearable. I can smell it several metres from the entrance on Edward Street.

A small shopping complex in the heart of CBD. Major tenants are JB HI FI and Big W.

Only a handful of places to buy food.

Asians serving Asians before you even though your next to be served. Black then white fellas then who ever else next.

The introduction of franchising in almost every shopping centre and the gradual decline of family name owned business has lead to some shopping centres losing their charm. Every shopping centre in Brisbane seems to have a string of coffee places, a sushi restaurant, Restaurants from its country neighbours and an American hamburger Restaurant with Australian ingredients absent of traditional dishes like collard greens and pumpkin pie, a kebab shop and not much in the way of continental African or European diversity cuisine. Which, if you stroll from one centre to the next, makes it a bit dull.

The young entrepreneur 22 August 2018 with the trial pop up shop should control his jealousy smartmouth tongue if he wants to sell designer furniture. He should be brave and take some calculated risks with color scheme choices. Grey and pastels have been done before in the 1980's. I did talk to him about this. Australian designers that began thrity years ago, that are still here, perhaps didn't let fashion dictate to them their decisions, just to make money. They became leaders instead of followers. In their inception, even at the risk of initially not making a profit.

An impressive building that has been retained and restored and reflects Brisbane's history. Quite rare for Brisbane. Good mix of shops

Nice shopping centre - easy to get around -lots of good eats places - parking close by - public transport very close - rain - bus and cabs.

They replaced a perfectly good floor with one that I've tripped on near Woolworths. The floor is even the same colour as the last one! #waronwaste
