The Royals Shopping Centre is Open
From 24th July, the wearing of face coverings will be mandatory in stores. Please stay safe and protect others by wearing a face covering when shopping in our stores at The Royals Shopping Centre.
A one-way system to follow and floor stickers will guide you through the flow system with ease. The customer care team are on hand to assist and there are clear guidelines at information points in the malls and as you enter the centre.
The entrances will be limited to the following points:
Heygate Road entrance (opposite Southend Bus Station)
The High Street entrance will be open
Via the car park – on the 1st floor only
The safety of customers is paramount, a queueing system may have to be executed should the centre become too busy.
The Royals has an impeccable record when it comes to the cleansing regime which has been increased during this time, and the team continue to maintain this clean environment.
In addition, there are a number of sanitisation stations in the centre, and reminder notices to cleanse after making contact with fixtures for example the cash point and car park payment facilities - contactless card payments are recommended wherever possible.
The 1st level of the car park is re-opened, so that you can conveniently ‘Shop and Go’ – clear signage will guide customers to the available parking.
Initially, the toilet facilities are closed, until further relaxation of social distancing is advised by the government.
Stores may be operating different to normal opening times, as they adjust, please do check the social channels and also the centres’ website for updated information.
The Royals will review daily its procedures and take advice from the government as policies change.
The Royals Shopping Centre manager Dawn Jeakings said:
“We want the re-opening transition to be as safe as possible for our loyal customers. Our customer care team will be on hand to assist with any questions our visitors have, and ensure that the shopping experience is as easy and as convenient as possible. We have made adjustments to achieve this. I would like to take this opportunity to say a heart-felt thank you to the NHS and all keyworkers who have kept this country going- throughout these most unprecedented times.“
Shoppers can check for any updates on the centre’s website and social media.
