This week is Carnival time and Arkadia said it is in full swing in preparations for this much anticipated annual event.

As many Maltese will be visiting the sister island to join in the Gozo Carnival celebrations, the management of Arkadia Commercial Centre has decided to extend opening hours on Friday and Saturday, 17th and 18th of February 2012, up to 10pm. “That is another 2 hours of fashion, home and food shopping during the Carnival weekend.” The company continued, “Arkadia Commercial Centre currently opens all week from Monday to Sunday throughout the day up to 8pm.

Arkadia said that renewing its promise to continue providing the best convenience for its customers, more parking spaces will yet again be available within the vicinity of Arkadia Commercial Centre thanks to the opening of the Agius De Soldanis school grounds. As introduced last Christmas, Arkadia shoppers will benefit from free parking on presentation of a valid shopping receipt.

Arkadia Foodstore said that for the second time running it will be renewing its Breakfast2Go offer. Starting this Friday, customers who spend €60 or more will be rewarded with a fantastic Breakfast2Go pack consisting of €13 in essential breakfast products such as Cappy juice, milk, eggs, bacon, biscuits, yoghurt among others.

This offer is valid only at Arkadia Foodstore in Victoria from Friday, 17 to Tuesday, 21 February 2012. All items are subject to availability and while stocks last.

The company said that this Carnival Arkadia Commercial Centre is to be transformed into a free Wi-Fi zone. Shoppers at Arkadia will enjoy free internet access on all levels of the commercial centre. Be it a smart phone, tablet PC, or laptop, Arkadia said that it will provide customers with free access to the world-wide-web (www) while enjoying their shopping experience in Gozo.

Other digital initiatives will also be introduced such QR code generation and a Facebook Check-In initiative.

Circle-A at Arkadia Commercial Centre will be hosting another book signing session. This time Circle-A are glad to host Karmenu Borg Bonaci to sign copies of his successful cookery book ‘Il-Helu ta’ Karmenu.’ Customers can reserve books for signing and the session will be held on Saturday morning, 18th February 2012 from 10am to 1pm.

Arkadia said it would like to apoligse for any inconvenience caused due to refurbishment works currently being carried out within the commercial centre. Arkadia hopes that customers are looking forward for the introduction of three new brands to the current fashion mix, namely Pimkie, Parfois, and Tommy Hilfiger menswear.
