The centre has an expansive food court, Leeds United store, Sainsbury’s and a Cineworld, complete with large IMAX screen – the centre even recently opened its own Wetherspoons pub.
But what big name stores has the centre lost in recent years?
Many stores up and down the country faced closure following the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and many at the White Rose were no different.
Huge high street names like Topshop and Debenhams sadly called in administrators in recent years, while even fan favourite Disney store shut its doors for good.
Here are the 11 shops at the White Rose Shopping Centre which have closed their doors forever...
1. Debenhams
Boohoo purchased the Debenhams brand and website in 2021 for £55 million but it did not take on the company’s 118 stores. There is also a Debenhams store in Briggate. Photo: Stock

5. Disney
