Shopping day at Mall of Kharian: a simple plan

A shopping day at Mall of Kharian works best with a loose plan: know which stores you want to visit, decide when you will eat, and leave a little room for wandering. This post walks through a relaxed day at the mall on the GT Road, from the first store to the last sip of a shake, with a few practical tips for families with kids.

Before you leave home

A few minutes of planning saves a lot of walking in circles.

• Make a short list. Who needs what? Eid outfits, a wedding-season suit, school clothes for the kids, a gift for someone?
• Pick your time. Jerry's is open every day from 1 pm to 11:30 pm, so an early afternoon start lets you shop, eat and still be home before it gets late.
• Think about the kids. Little ones last longer with a snack break built in. Plan it rather than waiting for the meltdown.

The stores: what to look for

Mall of Kharian has several clothing and kids' stores. Ranges and stock change through the year, so it is always worth a look even if you visited recently.

Edenrobe

A familiar name for clothing. A good first stop if you are shopping for the season or for an upcoming function.

Limelight

Another well-known clothing brand. Many shoppers like to compare a few stores before deciding, and having several under one roof makes that easy.

Shahposh

Also a clothing store in the mall, worth browsing if you want more choice before you settle on a suit or outfit.

Minnie Minors

For kids' clothing. Handy if the children need something new for school, an event or just because they have grown again.

Store line-ups in any mall can change over time, so if you are making a special trip for one store, a quick check beforehand never hurts.

A sample shopping day

Here is one way to structure the day. Adjust it to your family and your list.

• 1:00 pm – Arrive and start with the big decisions. Do the shopping that needs the most thought first, while everyone is fresh. Suits and outfits for functions usually fall into this group.
• 2:30 pm – Lunch break at Jerry's. Sit down, put the bags down, and eat properly. A Duo box (2 zinger burgers, 2 regular drinks, 1 fries) suits a couple; a Family festival (4 zinger burgers, 4 regular drinks, 1 fries) covers a family of four.
• 3:15 pm – Kids' shopping. With full stomachs, a visit to Minnie Minors goes a lot more smoothly.
• 4:30 pm – Second look. Go back to anything you were unsure about earlier. Things often look clearer after lunch.
• 5:00 pm – Something sweet before home. A shake or a plate of lavashak to round off the trip.

What to eat during a shopping break

You want food that is filling but not so heavy that you want to nap on a bench. A few favourites:

• Chicken donor – our most popular wrap, with fries rolled inside, easy to eat without a big fuss.
• Chicken shawarma or cheesy shawarma – quick and satisfying. Our shawarma guide has more.
• Club sandwich or panini sandwich – a lighter option. Compare them in club vs panini.
• Nuggets (6 pieces) and simple fries – a safe choice for kids.

Drinks and sweet things

• Shakes: banana, Milo, date or Oreo. See our shakes post for help choosing.
• Cardamom chaye (sugar free) or cappuccino if you need a pick-me-up for the second half.
• Lavashak with imli sauce, small or large, for something tangy. Not sure which size? Read small vs large lavashak.

Everything is listed on the menu.

Tips for shopping with kids

• Build the food break into the plan from the start.
• Let kids pick their own shake. It is a small thing that buys a lot of patience.
• Shop for the kids after lunch, not before.
• Keep one adult on bag duty and one on child duty. Swap at the food stop.

Taking something home

Not everyone could come? Pick up some lavashak for the people at home. You can also order lavashak online for pickup or delivery at /lavashak, or call 0342 7921797 or 0327 4384212 to order ahead so your food is ready when you finish shopping.
