I`ll add that to my CV 😂
Absolutely no idea but I did read comments a while back that the car park, which is on the roof, wasn`t sealed properly when it was built so there`s numerous issues with it. Maybe it`s remedial work to fix it?
Alternatively, maybe they`ve let it out? I`ve always found it odd that the Debenhams unit isn`t advertised online like the other vacant units are.

I spotted some of the make-up counters for sale on Facebook market place so guess it`s being cleared out. Not a clue what for.

I don`t know the ins and outs of Debenhams but it had a lot of concessions so it could be someone retrieving old units from their concession.
I`d bet Honk who used to post on here would know.

It looks like they are splitting it into 2 separate shops as there was a building warrant application last month. Hopefully somebody interested in at least taking half of the space?

Someone said something on the Dunfermline Press site about it becoming something like a trampoline place on one floor and shop on the other. The ceilings aren`t high enough for trampolines though.

You never know what they might be able to do. It could be they`re just getting the building warrant to remove the escalators just in case. I never thought it was really that big a unit until TK Maxx claimed it was too big and opted for the Dreams unit in the retail park.

Still no idea about Debenhams but it turns out the story of the car park is correct. When they built it they only waterproofed the top floor when it should have been all floors to protect the concrete from water. Turns out the waterproofing they did on the top floor was also crap resulting in it failing. I`ve never used that car park but the suggestion was it needed hundreds of thousands spent on it to bring it up to scratch. The Kingsgate owners claimed it was APCOA`s job, APCOA claimed it was for the Kingsgate owners to fix.
It also turns out that the M&S unit isn`t actually part of the centre. It`s privately owned by another company.

Softplay and Dunelm was the rumour. The softplay was pushed by a group of mums who felt there aren`t enough softplays in the area.
