== Retail == The main shopping centre is the [https://www.gracechurchcentre.com/ Gracechurch Centre], built in 1974. For a number of years this centre was called The Mall. The complex includes a multi-storey car park. As a result of investment, the appearance of the shopping centre was improved in 2006, which included the installation of a glass roof above one of the walkways and the removal of a public square to form a cafe and extra retail units. The shopping centre was formerly home to three bronze sculptures that depict, respectively, a boy and a girl on rollerskates, a boy with a dog, and a boy and a girl playing leapfrog, which have been moved to Rectory Park.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://icsuttoncoldfield.icnetwork.co.uk/news/localnews/tm_headline=statues-claimed%26method=full%26objectid=19989136%26siteid=52630-name_page.html|title=Statues claimed|publisher=icSutton Coldfield|date=18 October 2007|access-date=22 October 2007|archive-date=14 November 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071114051058/http://icsuttoncoldfield.icnetwork.co.uk/news/localnews/tm_headline=statues-claimed%26method=full%26objectid=19989136%26siteid=52630-name_page.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> A second shopping centre was named the Sainsbury Centre until Sainsbury's closed their store;<ref>''Sainsbury's quits shopping centre'', Birmingham Evening Mail, 27 February 2001</ref> the name was later changed to "The Red Rose Centre".
