The retail until was originally ear marked as a pet food store. However, Odeon Cinemas eager to quickly expand their multiplex cinema business negotiated the lease. The uninspired exterior appearance gave way to a large rotunda entrance hall. The seven screens had a total seating capacity of 1259 seats. Offering cinema goers hundreds of free car parking spaces. The cinema proved to be a huge success.
