Spring marks six years since Queenstown’s Five Mile launched with the shopping centre today one of the region’s fastest growing retail destinations.

“We have a vibrant array of clothing stores offering everything from sports and outdoor clothing to streetstyle and footwear,” says Five Mile retail manager Regan Allington. “ Our centralised location with easy, free parking makes Five Mile a must visit for both locals and visitors.”

Five Mile sports outlets sell a range of sporting equipment including golf clubs, bikes and running gear.

“Stores represented at Five Mile include Rebel Sports, Stirling Sports, Kathmandu, Bivouac Outdoor, Alta and Cactus Outdoor. Shoppers can discover an excellent range of equipment, activewear and high performance gear ideal for families and sports enthusiasts alike.”

North Beach and Boardertown at Five Mile are the places to head for stylish new season clothing  from international streetstyle brands like Nike, Adidas, Patagonia and Dickies. 

Boardertown store manager Alex Lucchese is an avid snowboarder who has built mountain terrain parks around the world. His favourite brand is Carhartt and he says its cool engaging with customers from all over the world at Five Mile.

“Talking to people about the snow and board culture that we truly believe in – it’s the best thing ever. I also appreciate all the independent, international skate brands Boardertown has in store with an excellent range of new seasons gear now here.”

New Zealand outdoor brand ilabb is a recent arrival at File Mile housed in the Sudima Hotel complex.

“Designed and tested in New Zealand ilabb stocks everything from merino underwear to smart and comfortable gym gear, lifestyle clothing and mountain bike riding essentials. It is a great addition to the Five Mile lifestyle offering,” says Regan.

“With the Christmas shopping season upon us there is plenty of gift shopping options here as well including Brandland, Peak Interiors, Look Sharp and the Five Mile Pharmacy.”
