Redevelopment

[edit]

A three-phase redevelopment project began in June 2010. The first phase, completed on October 28, 2011, included a brand new Walmart Supercentre and two-level parkade. The second and third phases resulted in the complete refurbishment of the centre's interior and the construction of a 19,000-square-metre (200,000 sq ft) expansion on the south side of the existing building to accommodate a 1,034-seat food court and 75 new stores. The expansion opened on August 28, 2013, while the rest of the project was completed in the fourth quarter of 2014.[2]

Movie theatre

[edit]

There is a 12-screen movie theatre operated by Landmark Cinemas. On October 29, 2013, Empire Theatres closed the theatre; it was re-opened on October 31, 2013, by Landmark Cinemas.[3] It was run by Famous Players from its opening in 1986 as a four-screen cinema. Major renovations took place throughout 1998, until it opened in November of that year under the SilverCity brand. Famous Players operated this theatre until September 30, 2005, when Cineplex Entertainment was required to sell this theatre.[citation needed]

Transportation

Guildford Town Centre is served by 12 bus routes from all over the city as the Guildford Exchange transit centre is located under a section of the mall that is structurally built over the 104 Avenue thoroughfare.[4] The formerly proposed Surrey LRT would have seen a light rail station terminating at Guildford Town Centre; however, the project was indefinitely suspended following a resolution passed by the Surrey City Council in 2018 which favoured a SkyTrain Expo Line extension further into Surrey.[5][6]
