Grand Central Stockport is a retail, entertainment and leisure complex in Stockport, Greater Manchester, England.[2] It is adjacent to Stockport railway station and the complex first opened in 1991. Since then it has included various leisure facilities such as a multiplex cinema, a swimming pool,[5] a Cineworld Cinema[6] a bowling alley, a gym, a Quasar complex, and various food outlets. As of 2013, the area is being redeveloped and only half of the development is still open, including the pool, along with some other businesses. The remainder of the complex (including the bowling alley) nightclub and cinema has been demolished in preparation for a new multi-storey car park and office complex.

Grand Central Stockport was owned by Norwich-based private property company Targetfollow, who acquired the complex for £10.8 million in 2004.[3] In January 2011, after lack of progress on the development scheme, Stockport Council purchased the complex.[7] In December 2011, Stockport Council announced that Muse Developments, the urban regeneration division of construction group Morgan Sindall, had been selected as the preferred developer with a report to be presented to the council the following week. The revamped regeneration plans include an office quarter for the town centre, a hotel, public space outside the railway station. In addition, the redevelopment would also include a multi-storey car park and to make the site into a more attractive gateway into the town centre.[8] The new redevelopment plans are valued at approximately £145 million.
