Cwmbran Shopping Centre
Built in the late 1950s the New Town Centre hosts a main bus station, supermarkets, small commercial units and a cinema. Over a period of 30 years the shopping centre was extended and refurbished several times. In spring 2000, a new development was brought forward in the north-west corner of the shopping centre. A supermarket, two-storey car park, a health clinic, and another small commercial unit was built. Another re-development of the old Asda building in 2006 supplied more shops in the new vicinity called "Llewelyn Walk".
On 31 October 2008, Leisure @ Cwmbran, a 10,000 sq ft (930 m2) complex, opened on Glyndŵr Road - formerly a disused multi-story car park in the north-east of the town centre. It hosts a Vue 8-screen cinema with a Bowlplex 20-lane bowling alley, a Frankie and Benny's New York Italian Restaurant, a Tiffins Indian Restaurant, a Harvester Salad & Grill restaurant, and a children's crèche.
On 9 July 2011, the much anticipated 'Delilahs' cocktail & music bar opened at Leisure @ Cwmbran. This is the first 'nightclub' in Cwmbrân town centre since 'The Pleasure Dome', which before being closed and demolished in September 2004, was situated only a few hundred feet south of the current nightclub on Glyndŵr Road.

Famous quotes containing the words shopping and/or centre:
“Most baby books also tend to romanticize the mother who stays at home, as if she really spends her entire day doing nothing but beaming at the baby and whipping up educational toys from pieces of string, rather than balancing cooing time with laundry, cleaning, shopping and cooking.”
—Susan Chira (20th century)
“In the centre of his cage
The pacing animal
Surveys the jungle cove
And slicks his slithering wiles
To turn the venereal awl
In the livid wound of love.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
