Since the 1980s
About Centre City Mall
Chaguanas had 6,177 people in 1980. By 2011 it had 83,489 — the largest municipality and the fastest-growing town in Trinidad & Tobago. Centre City was one of the three malls built downtown during that boom, and it is still trading on the Main Road today.
On the record
“Centre City … has been significantly renovated and there are future plans to expand further to become the largest mall in the Caribbean.”

The building
Built for a town that
was about to explode.
The 1980s were the decade Chaguanas changed. People came for bargain shopping and moderately priced housing, and the retail followed them: three malls went up in the downtown — Centre City, Mid Centre, and Ramsaran Plaza, which later became Centre Pointe Mall.
Centre City sits on the Chaguanas Main Road, the borough's primary commercial corridor, among the numerous shopping plazas that grew up along it. Two retail floors, a food court, and a car park round the back on Mulchan Seuchan Road.
It has since been significantly renovated. What it calls itself now is plain enough: a family-oriented community shopping mall — “affordable, great food, secure parking”.

Employment opportunities
Jobs at Centre City
With the mall itself
Roles with the complex itself — car park attendants, cleaning, maintenance and security — go through the mall office. Call or email and ask what is going.
With a shop in the mall
Retail and kitchen roles are hired by each business directly, not by the mall. Several tenants run active social accounts — LA Clothing, Wonderful World and Anand's among them — and that is usually where a vacancy shows up first. Otherwise, the oldest method still works: walk in and ask.
