[citation needed] After the US Army withdrew its forces in Europe after the war, the buildings and treated surface they had created were ideal as a Horse Repository.

[1] In the early 1970s the land was divided between a large urban car park and a small retail development which included a new Asda superstore.

This development fell through, and the landowner and largest stakeholder Wrexham County Borough Council decided to put the land up for sale by tender.

Since then there has been an effort by the management of Eagles Meadow to increase the occupancy of the shopping centre with a mix of cafes, nail bar, barbers, gym, community interest groups, independent and national retailers.

Stores and other amenities at the centre include: Boots, Clarks, Clintons, Costa Coffee, Eurochange, F. Hinds, Footasylum, Foundry Gym, JD Sports, Next, Odeon Cinema, Pandora, Rebuild with Hope Outlet, River Island, Roman, Tenpin, The Entertainer, The Fragrance Shop and Trespass.
