In summer 2012, plans were announced for the renovation of the exterior of the building and three of the four multi-storey car parks to the designs of architects Leach Rhodes Walker of Manchester.
The total sum invested by BMO exceeded £3 million.
The exterior had not been modified significantly since the building's original construction in the 1970s, and in 2010, a net was fitted around the building to stop detaching tiles from falling.
In October 2013, following the renovation, the centre was re-branded to Runcorn Shopping Centre.
Also in 2013, the surrounding area saw new investment by developer Opus Land North with the construction of a new Lidl, Burger King, garages and a car dealership on the site of the former Vestric House.

A setback occurred in April 2015 when Tesco, one of the centre's anchor tenants, announced it was closing several stores across the UK, including its Runcorn store.
Tesco had operated a large supermarket in the shopping centre since the 1970s.
The floor-space had been reduced in the early 2000s and the store rebranded as a Tesco Metro.
The large Tesco unit was not long vacant when The Range announced in August the same year that they were to open a new store in the same units.

Despite its many name changes, most Runcorn residents had continued to call it Runcorn Shopping City and in July 2017 the centre reverted to its original name.
Its new logo, inspired by original signage, was created by John Saunders in 2017.

In August 2017, as part of a demerger, the centre was transferred to Capreon before entering administration in 2019.
