The building was demolished but a pile of rubble, nicknamed 'Mount Crushmore' by local media, remained. [[Legal & General]] acquired the land and construction of St Stephen's Place Leisure Park began in 2012. A seven-screen [[Odeon Cinemas|Odeon]] cinema and [[Nando's]] restaurant opened in October 2013. A [[Premier Inn]] and food outlets including [[Frankie and Benny's]] and [[Prezzo (restaurant)|Prezzo]] followed in 2014. The former [[Ushers Best Bitter|Usher's brewery]] site has also undergone redevelopment over a number of years, with Newland Homes building town centre flats incorporating the frontage of the Usher's building. In April 2009, building work started on one of the town's biggest brownfield sites, the former Usher's bottling plant. This was developed into a [[Sainsbury's]] supermarket, a public square and housing.<ref>[http://www.thisiswiltshire.co.uk/mostpopular.var.1258369.mostviewed.supermarket_plan_for_ushers_site.php Ushers Brewery site], proposed plans for redevelopment: Wiltshire Times website.
