Minor Centre

Minor Centre, also known as Grove Green Centre, is a shopping area in the development of Grove Green, and Weavering village. Minor Centre includes a Tesco superstore, The Grove Green medical Centre, Mann Countrywide estate agents offices, Lloyds pharmacy, Johnsons Dry Cleaners, A Tesco Petrol Station, and the Newsrack News Agents, which includes the Grove Green Post Office. The Shepherd Neame Early Bird Public House is also located within the complex.

Tesco fire

In 1993, a skip located outside the Tesco store was set alight by youths. The skip fire then spread to the roof of the Tesco store. The entire Tesco store was consequently burnt down.[1] The roofs of the units were not separated, so considerable damage was caused to the other units in the complex. During the rebuilding of Minor Centre, it was ensured that the loft space of each unit was separate, not shared, as previously.
