Phase 1 of the development saw the construction of new premises to house Galaxy Bingo, a premier gaming facility which is currently near the middle entrance to the centre, the relocation of Ramsgate Stationers, to new premises within the centre and the commencement of the new Mr Price Sport and Food Lover's Market stores.

After the completion of phase 1, the two adjacent entrances were revamped during phases 2 and as well as the food court and toilet facilities.[7]
