- Kings Square Shopping Centre
- Opened in 1971 as part of the redevelopment of West Bromwich town centre, Kings Square Shopping Centre was designed to modernise local retail alongside Queens Square. It has served as a central convenience hub for decades, anchored by the indoor market, but faced challenges from changing retail habits and newer developments like New Square. Kings Square opened in 1971 (with some records mentioning 1974) as part of a major 1970s transformation of the town, featuring a covered walkway linking to Queens Square. The complex included a 45-shop capacity and an indoor market at the rear, initially providing a vibrant, covered shopping experience. The associated Kings Cinema, a pioneering multi-screen complex, opened nearby in 1975. The centre underwent management changes, with London & Associated buying it in 1995. Over time, the indoor market suffered a decline in occupancy before recent redevelopment efforts to modernize the facility. Despite the opening of the nearby New Square Shopping Centre in 2013, Kings Square has maintained its role as a convenience-focused hub, bolstered by renovations, including the relocation of the market to the High Street. Kings Square Shopping Centre was acquired by Sandwell Council in July 2022. The centre is situated adjacent to both West Bromwich bus station and metro with direct links off West Bromwich Ringway. The shopping centre is approximately 159,000 sq. ft. in size with a mix of retail units and a central coffee shop. Kings Square Shopping Centre previously housed West Bromwich indoor market and a new indoor market and food hall opened in August 2025 adjacent to the main entrance fronting the pedestrianised high street. The centre is currently operating at an approximate 97% occupancy rate. The former market hall within Kings Square Shopping Centre will contribute to the council's West Bromwich Town Centre Masterplan to create a metro gateway, new town square and a step change in the quality of place / public realm alongside the creation of green links, squares, parks and sustainable travel networks, and development of a major mixed-use community including residential and employment to create a vibrant, active and sustainable town centre. Queens Square Shopping Centre Opened in 1971 as part of a major town centre redevelopment, Queens Square Shopping Centre in West Bromwich was designed to modernise retail with a pedestrianised, indoor, and multi-level layout, featuring original anchor tenants like Boots. It aimed to replace the old High Street, later becoming a central hub for the town. Developed alongside the smaller Kings Square in 1971 to modernise the town centre and built with pedestrianised areas, subways, and multi-storey parking to separate shoppers from traffic, forming a "concrete" shopping district. Originally a major shopping destination, over the years, it has seen changes with the introduction of new retailers, though it has faced significant competition, leading to a decline in popularity. It connects to the nearby Kings Square Shopping Centre and the newer New Square Shopping Centre, acting as a pedestrian link to the market and transport interchange. The centre remains a central point for shopping in West Bromwich but has experienced declining footfall and high shop turnover. The multi-storey car park has been demolished to make way for a mixture of homes, leisure and retail facilities to support the West Bromwich Town Centre Masterplan. Queens Square Shopping Centre was acquired by Sandwell Council in December 2025. The main entrance to Queens Square is facing the pedestrianised high street and lies directly opposite the main entrance to Kings Square Shopping Centre. The shopping centre, with retail accommodation of around 271,000 sq. ft., is home to several anchor tenants but has a lower occupancy rate of circa 35% as it does not enjoy direct links from the bus station and metro as Kings Square. Plans may result in underutilised areas of Queens Square Shopping Centre being redeveloped to support the council's West Bromwich Town Centre Masterplan. Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council is seeking to appoint a bespoke local letting agent to market retail availability at both Kings Square and Queens Square Shopping Centres in West Bromwich town centre. The appointment will commence on 1 August 2026 for a two-year period.
