From the Wikipedia article
The Richmond Centre is a large shopping centre in Derry, Northern Ireland of 120,000 sq ft (11,000 m2). The centre hosts over 40 retail units, including some major high street names. It was completed in 1984 within the city's historic walls. It was the first major regeneration project in the city, announced by Minister of State Richard Needham, since The Troubles began. It is close to the larger Foyleside shopping centre (400,000 sq ft, completed 1995), which is located approximately 50 metres away. The centre was originally anchored by Dunnes Stores, however following their closure in 2001, the unit has since been taken over by New Look. Other large retailers in the centre include Nando's, JD Sports, Superdry and Starbucks.
