The Capitol

I notice the Capitol Shopping Centre has rebranded as "The Capitol" and promising 'something new', which to be fair it has been promising for a fair few years now:

Maybe it's a tenant?

Looks like there's some external work planned by the colour scheme, which would be nice. Much work required inside though.

Hope it’s more than external work…. And that any external work includes a new entrance by queen street station.

It’s such a shame Premier Cinema shut but I don’t think another one will reopen there, Cardiff is well served for cinema screens.

I thought the final nail in the coffin came when not even Pret lasted there.

The Howell's development has made me think of the Marie Celeste that is The Capitol. Has anyone heard of anything actually happening?

They have had 'Something New is Coming to The Capitol' on their website all year and even the promised food market hasn't even materialised.

I did email the owners a few months ago and they haven't bothered to reply.

A big wrecking ball springs to mind as a solution.
