Dandenong Square, originally known as Dandenong Plaza, is a major-regional shopping centre located in the suburb of Dandenong, approximately 30 kilometres south-east of the Melbourne CBD. The centre has two large food courts (one on level 1 and another outside Reading Cinemas on level 2). Level 3 has a large Fresh Food Hall outside the Coles supermarket. Dandenong Square is within close proximity to the Dandenong Market and also Dandenong Hub.[1]
History

Myer opened in Dandenong as a four-level standalone department store on 4 November 1974. [3] In 1989, a shopping centre opened on the corner of Foster and McCrae Streets, initially named Capital Centre, it was later renamed Dandenong Plaza, coinciding with an expansion of the centre in 1995 linking it with Myer. [4] In 2024, Armada Dandenong Plaza was rebranded to Dandenong Square. [5]
