According to an article and photo on page 5 of the 30 January 2008 <i>Croydon Guardian</i> ("Store's lift ruling floors busy mums"), as of that date the premises were occupied by a branch of George (the ASDA clothing brand). This may have been the same branch that another article on page 20 of the 15 October 2003 edition ("George helps cast net wider") describes as George's "pioneering flagship store [which opened] in Croydon's Whitgift Centre in September".

By January 2012 it was a branch of Clas Ohlson <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/6570140005/ photo of North End entrance]</small>, <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/9110860420/ photo of Whitgift entrance]</small>, but this closed down for good on 16 August 2018 <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/44013807991/ photo of notices]</small>. The premises were vacant as of late August 2018, and still vacant as of May 2019.
