In 1998, the Craigavon Shopping Centre reopened as Rushmere as part of a major expansion which saw a Sainsbury's and Tesco store open, the latter replacing Crazy Prices due to their buyout in 1997.
[4][5] In January 2011, Tesco closed its doors to move to a much larger store near the centre.
[6] During the early 2020s, Rushmere had a major drop in footfall and tenants resulting in the closures of Topshop, Five Guys, a mixed Dorothy Perkins and Burton store, Debenhams and Sainsbury's, this was mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2022, the company which owned Rushmere, Moyallen Holdings Limited (which also owned the nearby Magowan West in Portadown and Victoria Place in Woking) was placed into administration, Killahoey Ltd bought the struggling shopping centre from the company later in 2023.
[10][11][12] The shopping complex includes 70+ stores such as Argos, Boots, Dunnes Stores, JD Sports, Mango, New Look, Primark, Schuh, Søstrene Grene, TK Maxx and Waterstones, and eateries/cafes such as Caffè Nero, McDonald's and Nando's.
