The Palms Shopping Village opens its doors in Riverlea

The $100 million shopping centre will create more than 120 local retail and service jobs while delivering greater convenience, dining and essential services to Adelaide’s fastest-growing community.

Anchored by a full line Coles Supermarket and Liquorland, Stage 1 of The Palms Shopping Village is now home to Anytime Fitness, Amitra & Co Hair Services, Jennifer Carly Aesthetic Medicine, St Georges Bakehouse and Nou Nails. Priceline Pharmacy, Local Crowd Coffee and Kingsmen Hair will also open in the coming weeks, further expanding the centre's retail and service offering.

Walker Corporation Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer David Gallant said the retail village was the next important step in delivering the infrastructure needed to support Riverlea's rapid growth.

"Residents can do their weekly grocery shop, grab a coffee, visit the pharmacy or access other everyday services without leaving Riverlea, giving people more time back in their day to spend with family and friends."

"The Walker team is now delivering the final stage of the shopping village, including the outdoor dining precinct and community plaza which will open later this year as a new community hub in time for summer, adding more retail and dining options."

Riverlea resident Emily Kempster said the opening of The Palms Shopping Village was an exciting milestone for local families

"When we moved to Riverlea, we could see the vision for what the community would become and it is very cool to see it all coming to life," Ms Kempster said.

"Having more places to meet friends, spend time with family and connect with neighbours will make a real difference for everyone living here.”

"You can feel the momentum across Riverlea at the moment, and it’s so exciting to think about what the community will look like in a few months when the school and sportsground open.”

Located on the corner of Central Drive and Riverlea Boulevard, The Palms Shopping Village will deliver more than 10,000 square metres of retail and commercial space, over 25 specialty stores, an alfresco dining precinct and parking for more than 530 vehicles. 

The final stage of the centre will deliver the Paisley Park Early Learning Centre, medical centre with pathology services and additional dining options within the outdoor plaza.

To mark the first stage opening of The Palms Shopping Village, Walker will host community celebrations this Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 June, inviting residents and visitors to explore Adelaide's newest shopping destination.

The weekend will feature giveaways, instant prizes and exclusive rewards for members of The Palms App, with activities taking place from 11am to 2pm each day next to St Georges Bakehouse.
