Ayr Central

Ayr, United Kingdom

Ayr Central is covered shopping centre in Ayr, Scotland. Built on a former brown field site on Kyle Street, which had been abandoned for fifteen years, the development cost £75 million. It was opened ahead of schedule in March 2005, with the opening of the first Debenhams store in Ayrshire. The shopping centre has an underground car parking facility with space for 450 cars with stairs up to the main level. A large number of shops have moved into the development, some from other locations in the town centre while others are completely new to the area such as Debenhams and Primark. There is also a cafè with indoor and outdoor seating areas. In 2014, a new covered roof was added to the shopping complex, keeping the weather wash from shoppers and other passers-by.
