Auburn Power Centre opened in 2006 on the site of the old Ford Fury car yard, office and warehouse building which was demolished in 2005.

It was a bulky goods centre that featured Anaconda, Spotlight, Dick Smith Powerhouse, Discount Party Warehouse, a Ten Pin Bowling Alley and around 30 stores.

American retailer Costco opened its second Australian store across the road from Lidcombe Power Centre in late July 2011.

[5] Despite population growth in the area, Lidcombe Power Centre was facing a decline because it lacked a supermarket and discount department store.

The major retailers include Kmart, Aldi, Woolworths, Daiso, Discount Party Warehouse, Spotlight, Tenpin City, TK Maxx and KMALL09.
