History
Bayside shopping centre, which was formally known as Frankston Town Centre, originally consisted of three shopping centres: Bayside, Balmoral and Quayside. The Bayside part of the shopping centre opened in 1972 with 52 specialty stores, including a Myer Department store and a Ritchies Supermarket. Balmoral Shopping centre opened a year later with 19 stores. Quayside finally opened in 1991 with 72 specialty stores, a Coles Supermarket and a Target Discount Department store.
The centre has remained the largest shopping centre on the Mornington Peninsula, due to large redevelopments. Bayside Shopping Centre's main local rivals are Centro Karingal and Frankston Power Centre, both located less than 5 kilometres from the centre.
