| Shopping in Hammonds Plains is limited however there
are two strip malls that provide much of what is needed on a daily basis.
There is a smaller strip mall (photo
of mall) located at the entrance
to Kingswood Subdivision which has a grocery store, Tim Horton's Donuts
and a few other businesses. There is also a larger strip mall located
at the Tantallon end of Hammonds Plains called the Hubley
Center Shopping Center . This center has many stores and services.
This mall is located very close to Westwood Hills and Haliburton Hills
Subdivision and a short drive from White Hills and Highland Park. It
is a bit far from Kingswood so residents of Kingswood are more likely
to drive to Bedford or Halifax to shop.
Many of the residents of Hammonds Plains shop in nearby Bedford. Bedford
is only 5-12 kms from most areas of Hammonds Plains.
There are two medium size shopping malls in Bedford , Sunnyside
Mall and Bedford
Place Mall.
The Sunnyside Mall in Bedford is considered a higher end shopping center
where you can find more brand name items and designer clothes. It's
anchor stores are Canadian Tire, Lawton's Drug Store, Mark's Work Warehouse
and Pete's Frooteque(which has the possibly the best selection of fruit
and vegetables in Nova Scotia as well as most grocery items). Pete's
is one of the few metro stores open on Sunday.
The Bedford Place Mall has over 50 shops and services and provides several
quality shopping destinations. The anchor stores at Bedford Place are
Zellers, Atlantic Superstore grocery store (owned by Loblaws) , Shoppers
Drug Mart, Dollarama and the Nova Scotia Liquor Commission.
Hammonds Plains residents also have easy access to Bayer's
Lake Business Park in Halifax where the big " box " stores such
as Costco Wholesale (formerly Price Club), Business Depot, Future Shop,
Winners, Zellers' and many others are located. Only a 10 minute drive
away this is a popular shopping location.
Shopping in both Halifax and Dartmouth
offer excellent shopping only a few minutes drive away. Because
the Halifax metro area is Nova Scotia's largest urban center it is also
the regional shopping area. There are major malls in Halifax such as
Halifax Shopping Center, Park Place, West End Mall and The Village at
Bayer's Road. In Dartmouth you will find Mic Mall Mall(the largest shopping
mall east of Montreal) and Penhorn Mall.
