Previous Owned Companies
As well as the shopping centre, Merry Hill also owned a bus company called Merry Hill Minibuses (formed in 1987) which was created to compete against then West Midlands Travel. It was created at that time to be the major form of public transport linking the surrounding areas with the shopping centre, of which approximately half had been opened by the time the service was launched (the first retailers had moved to the centre in 1985 and it was completed in 1989).
However, this was sold off to Travel West Midlands in 1998, and subsequently rebranded Travel Merry Hill, leaving Merry Hill Centre management to concentrate on the shopping centre itself.

Famous quotes containing the words previous, owned and/or companies:
“All we know
Is that we are a little early, that
Today has that special, lapidary
Todayness that the sunlight reproduces
Faithfully in casting twig-shadows on blithe
Sidewalks. No previous day would have been like this.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The only free road, the Underground Railroad, is owned and managed by the Vigilant Committee. They have tunneled under the whole breadth of the land.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The recent attempt to secure a charter from the State of North Dakota for a lottery company, the pending effort to obtain from the State of Louisiana a renewal of the charter of the Louisiana State Lottery, and the establishment of one or more lottery companies at Mexican towns near our border, have served the good purpose of calling public attention to an evil of vast proportions.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
