New Zealand's first[2] shopping centre, LynnMall, has been servicing Auckland's western suburbs for over 50 years. Since opening in 1963, the centre has continued to evolve and in 2015 underwent redevelopment to incorporate an eight-screen cinema complex and an outdoor dining lane. Together with the existing Farmers department store and Countdown supermarket, the centre provides a shopping destination in the developing town centre of New Lynn.
In January 2015, Lynnmall commenced a $36 million expansion, named Brickworks, which included a new cinema, dining precinct and additional stores.[3] In November that year, Brickworks officially opened to the public.[4]
Seven people were injured in a stabbing attack on 3 September 2021 at the mall, one of whom narrowly missed the knife but was still affected. The attacker Ahamed Samsudeen was shot and killed by police.[5]
