Remember Cardiff’s iconic Debenhams store? Once a bustling shopping haven when it opened in 1982, it’s now transformed beyond recognition! After the brand went into administration in 2021, the beloved department store shut its doors in 2023, leaving behind fond memories and a gaping void in the heart of Cardiff.
But after years of standing empty, the transformation is underway! The site’s set to become a vibrant public plaza, thanks to a whopping £17m makeover approved by Cardiff Council. Imagine a 102,000 square-feet space filled with a water fountain splash pad, performance stage, two new restaurants, and kiosks for local street food. It’s all about bringing life back to this prime city centre spot, and we can’t wait to see it bustling with activity once again!
Check out the latest pics from the site where rubble meets revival. Who else is excited to see this new chapter unfold? Let’s swap shopping bags for picnics and performances in what promises to be Cardiff’s latest cool hangout spot! Keep your eyes peeled as this amazing transformation continues to take shape! 🌟 #CardiffRevamp #CityCentreTransformation #NewBeginnings
