History
St George's was built on the site of a former furniture store called Adam's.[5][6] The building for Adam's furnishers dated back to 1910, when the short-lived Harrow Empire and Picturedrome was located there, before it closed in 1914.[7]
The retail centre opened on St George's Day 1996 as St George's Shopping and Leisure Centre, and launched with new stores for the town including a Virgin Megastore, Disney Store, and a McDonald's that still remains as one of two branches in the town centre. The centre also had a new 12 screen cinema under the Warner Village Cinemas, which has operated since 2004 as Vue.[8]
It was once owned by Propinvest. In 2011 the centre was bought by Redefine International for £68 million.[9]
