Blackpool Co-operative Society’s flagship Emporium of 1938, incorporating the Jubilee Theatre, stood on Coronation Street.
The rise of big high street names resulted in its demolition in 1988 for a planned shopping centre. However, its site remained a hole in the ground until eventually becoming a car park. The site was only properly developed when the Hounds Hill Centre was expanded to include the Debenham’s Store.
