The Leeds Corn Exchange is a Victorian building in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, which was designed by Cuthbert Brodrick and completed in 1864. In November 2007 it was revealed that the centre (which was being refurbished after being taken over by Zurich Financial Services) was to be converted into a food emporium. The plans brought protests from the independent traders, who were removed from the Corn Exchange, and their customers.

After the restoration the Corn Exchange re-opened in November 2008 as a boutique shopping centre for independent retailers. The 13,200-square-foot (1,230 m2) ground level was occupied by Piazza by Anthony until its sudden closure in June 2013. The upper levels are home to a number of retailers

  • It's Corn Exchange
  • The CornEx is being changed alot at the moment. It has been, for many years, an alternative shopping centre, but the owner is now trying to change the type of people that the shops in the centre attract. Many people believe that this is because the owner doesn't like the type of people that go there, however it is more likely that it doesn't bring in as much profit as the newer high fashion stuff is bringin in. But most of the alternative shops there have lasted an awful lot longer and get alot more trade than some of the new ones that are being added to the centre.
  • Went in last month , only 2 shops left .
