Below expectations
When you're shopping in the Chequers Centre you have to try and look for the positives
It has a wide variety of shops split over several levels. There is parking in the centre of town and they have a macdonalds and a butchers. It's right by the bus station, so it's convenient for everyone to get to without having to take the car...
However...
It's regularly voted as the ugliest building in Kent and they are right. It's a blight on the skyline of Maidstone (just like the high rise flats nearby) and it's a really tired 60s/70s building that could do with being demolished as once you're through the front doors, that's the last time you'll see natural light till you exit again.. That's the building, the clientelle tend to be the tracksuited, baseball capped, popped collar brigade and most folk avoid this place, tending to head up to Fremlin's Walk which is a much more pleasnat shopping experience
