Work Underway to Revamp Former Debenhams Building in Carmarthen
Work is in progress to transform the former Debenhams building in Carmarthen into a massive entertainment center and gym.
- The building has been largely vacant since Debenhams closed three years ago.
- The closure of Debenhams was a significant setback for Carmarthen town center.
- Many large chains, including River Island and H&M, moved out during the pandemic.
The former Debenhams building, situated in St Catherine’s Walk Shopping Centre, is undergoing a major revamp to revitalize the town center. The 8,000 square meters unit will house a family entertainment center and a 24-hour gym. Carmarthenshire Council and Hywel Dda University Health Board are collaborating to ensure the space remains vibrant. The former Debenhams site is expected to draw more foot traffic, boosting economic growth in Carmarthenshire.
- The building will house a state-of-the-art health and wellbeing Hwb with educational facilities.
- The facility will offer community health services, a 24-hour gym, fitness suites, adventure golf, and more.
- The building is projected to open to the public in 2026.
Carmarthenshire Council aims to create a hub for health, wellbeing, and leisure that will benefit the local community. The facility will provide various services and amenities, from fitness centers to educational programs. The transformation of the former Debenhams building is a strategic move to breathe new life into St Catherine’s Walk Shopping Centre and boost economic activity in the area.
