It accommodates 40 stores, over two floors, and a multi-storey car park. There are approved plans for the expansion of the centre which will also re-develop the adjacent bus station and add a tram station for the expansion of Manchester Metrolink. The expansion of the centre will cost £40m[1] and add 180,000 sq ft (17,000 m2) of retail space which will more than double the current centre.
