The town centre redevelopment of the 1960’s created a pedestrianised shopping area centred along King Street and the adjoining Riverside Walk. The town centre contains many familiar high street names one might expect for a town of its size along with a number of independent retail outlets. Larger supermarkets and other retail stores are situated on the outskirts of the town.

Thetford has a wide range of manufacturing, distribution and service businesses. These are generally situated on the modern industrial estates alongside the A11 bypass beside the London and Mundford Roads. Thetford’s location at the centre of East Anglia makes it an ideal distribution centre for retailers and delivery firms. Manufacturing is still well represented in the town and the niche engineering linked to the motor sport industry is poised to be strengthened further by the proposed Thetford Enterprise Park earmarked alongside the A11 bypass and further development of the REV (Rural Enterprise Valley) Project. Thetford is an attractive location for employers wishing to move to the region and this is born out by the new Keystone Innovation Centre being substantially filled within one year of opening.
