As you walk along and look to your right, you'll see the impressive structure of the Grand Central Shopping Centre coming into view. This massive retail palace boasts large, modern architecture with sleek glass windows and multiple entry points. Spot the grand signage that heralds some of its anchor tenants-an unmistakable landmark you simply can't miss!
Welcome to the Grand Central Shopping Centre! A retail hub that’s the envy of the Darling Downs, this grand place first swung open its doors in September 1996. It's like the shopping centre that just couldn't stop growing. The second stage was unveiled in June 1999, and the third, in 2017, transformed it into a gargantuan marvel.
So, what's inside this behemoth of a shopping mall? It’s packed to the rafters with brands we all know and love. We've got Target, Coles, a Birch, Carroll & Coyle five-screen cinema, Kmart, Woolworths, Big W, Myer, Best & Less, H&M, and over 180 specialty stores spread across two buzzing levels.
In November 2014, a $500 million redevelopment got underway, making this place even grander. Finished in early 2017, it doubled the floor space to a sprawling 90,000 square meters, which is roughly the size of 12 soccer fields! With parking room for 4,000 vehicles, you could say it’s like the TARDIS of shopping centres-bigger on the inside.
And let’s not forget the latest giants added to the tenant list: Country Road, Esprit, and H&M among others. So, whether you’re here for some serious retail therapy, a movie night, or just to grab a quick snack, Grand Central is your go-to destination! Enjoy the retail ride!
