Alan Samuels, 25, from Wrexham said he was excited about the prospect of the leisure element of the development.
"I am very excited about Eagles Meadow, especially the bowling alley," he said.
"I don't think it's come at a bad time at all. When something is new people tend to just go there and spend money anyway."

Gavin White, 30, from Rhos, welcomed the news that Eagles Meadow would bring a host of new employment opportunities to the area.
He said: "I think it's a great idea they have decided to build the shopping centre here in Wrexham. I also think it's a good opportunity for the town and it will create a lot more jobs in the area, especially now that people are losing their jobs."

Dyfed Thomas, 22, from Wrexham, claimed the development would attract many who had previously travelled to Chester city centre.
He said: "I think it's a great to have such a big development in Wrexham, now people won't have to go to Chester to do their shopping, especially since there will be a big Debenhams and Marks and Spencer. It will also bring more money to the town."

Mo Booysen, 22, who moved from South Africa to Wrexham two years ago, said he would be paying regular visits to the development's bowling alley.
"I am really excited about this project, especially since I have seen it develop over the past year or so," he said.
"I am looking forward to the bowling alley opening which is were I will probably spend most of my time while I'm in there."

Anita Maree, 20, also previously from South Africa, thought the development would do wonders for Wrexham's image.
She said: "I think it's a great for the town, I love living in Wrexham and I think that this big shopping centre will make the place even better and busier than usual. I'm looking forward to going shopping there and spending time there with my friends."

Pamela Darlington, 60, of Wrexham, sounded a cautionary note, claiming Eagles Meadow could have a negative impact on existing town centre businesses.
She said: "I am excited about the shopping centre opening, although I do think that local businesses are already suffering because of it. I will most probably go shopping there. I also think that people will be spending plenty of time and money there regardless of the a credit crunch."

With only a few days to go until one of the biggest developments in Nort East Wales for many years residents of Flintshire air their views on the multi million pound scheme.

Martin Hore, of Hawarden, said: "Broughton and Chester are on our doorstep so there's no real need for us to go anywhere else. Unless a large department store that isn't based around here opened in Wrexham we'd probably go. But if it's a Laura Ashley, dont tell the wife!"

Colin Hughes, of Penyffordd, said: "I welcome the new developments. For some time Wrexham and its shops have been seen as a 'poor man's Chester' but this is just the kind of change needed to bring the town up-to-date, not just in terms of retail but leisure activities too."

Kathleen Webster, of Connah's Quay, said: "We don't pay too much attention to the goings on in Wrexham when Chester is so close, it has everything we need, we probably wont bother to go out of our way to visit."

Julia Vale, of Wrexham, said: "It's going to be be great for me if I need an outfit quickly for a night out as having to travel to Chester to visit a big department store can be a pain, but I'd still rather go there for the shopping experience and to enjoy a nice day out."

Amy Taylor, of Wrexham, said: "The town will be empty because the shops are all moving, I think it will be really tough for the elderly to get around as the retail park is difficult to get to on foot. It's good that we will be getting more shops but I hope they solve the parking problems first."
