Nostalgia: Celebrating 50 years of Douglas Village Shopping Centre

Official opening of Douglas Village Shopping Centre on November 17, 1971.
It marked the supermarket chain’s first store outside Dublin.

The new store cost in the region of £150,000 to fit.

“The acre site which opens on both the main Douglas Road and the South Main Douglas Road includes a total shop area of 45,000 square feet.

“These malls converge on a focal square where the colour and brightness created by shop windows enhance this exceptionally conceived complex.”
