When the Grafton Centre was built in the 1980s the Eden chapel moved to a new home at the town end of Fitzroy Street and the building was integrated into the fabric of the Grafton Centre.

It opened as a bar/restaurant called the Trolley Stop in 1983, later renamed Footlights until becoming a branch of Gail’s Bakery following the Grafton Centre renovations in 2017.
