Kiwi Property’s LynnMall will mark its 60th anniversary this month with a series of activities honouring the mall’s heritage.  

LynnMall, which opened on 30 October 1963, was New Zealand’s first indoor retail mall, providing the West Auckland community with a range of amenities and businesses all under one roof.

Among the events was a promotion that allowed customers to buy a cup of coffee for 35 cents – the price it was in 1963.

Next week, customers will be able to enjoy $6 foodie specials at Bodrum Kitchen, Dunkin Donuts, Food Du, Kage, Muffin Break, Rolls of Vietnam, Starbucks, and Upper Crust.
