🛍️ Abad Bay Pride Mall – A Faded Landmark with Untapped Potential Located in the heart of Kochi near Marine Drive, Abad Bay Pride Mall was once a bustling shopping destination. Today, it feels more like a commercial complex than a mall, with many shops closed and the overall vibrancy missing.
🛒 Shopping & Services A few mobile shops, jewelry stores, and cafes still operate. Electronic accessories and wholesale items are available at competitive prices. Limited branded outlets and very few options for fashion or entertainment.
🍽️ Dining & Surroundings A small food court exists, but choices are minimal. The location near Marine Drive makes it a decent spot for a walk and a quick bite. A fast-food outlet on the ground floor is one of the few active dining options.
🚗 Parking & Accessibility Paid parking is available, but the system is confusing and not customer-friendly. Parking staff lack information about open shops and services. Toilet usage is charged (₹5), which is unusual and poorly maintained — a major letdown.
🧼 Cleanliness & Maintenance Toilets and common areas need urgent attention. Cleaning staff behavior has been reported as rude and unprofessional.
The mall’s infrastructure is aging and lacks proper upkeep. ⚠️ Areas for Improvement Customer service and staff training are essential. Transparency in parking and toilet charges is needed. Revitalization of retail spaces and better tenant support could restore its charm.
⭐ Final Thoughts: ✅ Good location and some useful services ❌ Poor maintenance, limited shops, and unfriendly staff 🌟 Once iconic, now in need of serious revival
Abad Bay Pride Mall holds nostalgic value but struggles to stay relevant. Worth visiting only if you're nearby or need specific services. Otherwise, Kochi offers better...
