Visitors to the centre have decreased in recent years with the opening of the Letterkenny Retail Parks and Forte Shopping Centre on the opposite side of the town. The Centre is a popular gathering place for the local students of St. Eunan's College and Loreto Convent during their lunchbreak.

[edit] Expansion

Paul Reynolds & Company Ltd. applied for planning permission to build another floor of retail space at the centre in mid 2007. The application was approved and will result in an extra 10500 square foot retail area. The centre is currently undergoing changes in respect to the locations of its anchor tenants. Heatons are due to expand over two floors of the centre, occupying the former loacation of Costcutter. Eurospar opened on the ground floor of the centre on 23 May, 2008.
