Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026.
Malvern East’s retail runs to its edges, so this guide looks at three places in and around the suburb: one centre in Chadstone and two stops in Carnegie. Chadstone is adjacent rather than inside Malvern East, and Carnegie sits just across Dandenong Road.
Each place was matched against two independent sources, mainly OpenStreetMap and the operator’s own site. Hours are given only where a listing prints them, and we say whose listing it is.

Chadstone Shopping Centre — 1341 Dandenong Road, Chadstone VIC 3148
Chadstone Shopping Centre is the large-format option, on Dandenong Road in Chadstone. Its site lists Monday to Wednesday trading from 9:00am to 5:30pm, Thursday to Saturday from 9:00am to 9:00pm, and Sunday from 10:00am to 7:00pm. That is the centre’s footer block, and individual store hours differ. The centre also promotes a Chadstone Gift Card, redeemable at all stores where EFTPOS is available.
Go for: Thursday to Saturday, when the centre’s own listing runs to 9:00pm.
Carnegie Central — 2-20 Koornang Road, Carnegie VIC 3163
Carnegie Central sits on Koornang Road. Its site says it offers a one-stop destination from retail therapy to dining, health clubs and medical care. The same site places the centre within walking distance of Carnegie Train Station. It also says the carpark is secure, with the first two hours free.
The strip: Koornang Road, with the train station within walking distance, as the centre’s site describes it.
Bicycle Superstore Carnegie — 1030 Dandenong Road, Carnegie VIC 3163
Bicycle Superstore Carnegie is the specialist stop, on Dandenong Road. Its site says the workshop provides expert service and tune-ups for all types of bikes. The site lists Monday to Friday from 9.00am to 5.30pm and Saturday from 9.00am to 5.00pm, with Sunday closed. OpenStreetMap carries different hours, including a Sunday opening the shop’s own site does not list, so we have used the shop’s own listing.
Known for: Bike servicing, per the shop’s own site.
