I've heard around mid year... June/July 2015

There will be no mall or new specialty shops. I wonder if the owners of the surrounding existing shops will get a makeover once Woolies/ Big W is finished??? Had the GFC not occurred, the redevelopment would have probably been done a couple years back and also look very different to what is actually...

Big W will not be closing or demolished. The facade will be updated with an airlock and glass frontage and a refit of the interior. Work on Big W will commence with the backdock and office areas from around April. The refit of the shop floor of Big W should be sometime around July. Woolies will be s...

A couple pics from today. Apparently they are a week ahead of schedule.

The first Big W.... Tamworth in the late 1970s. Shows how little the Cumberland Park store has changed since 1977.

A bit of nostalgia... was scouring Flickr and came across this photo of Marion Shopping Centre during the 1970s.

My bad... I meant Sturt and Diagonal Roads, which was closed in the mid to late 90s.

I nearly forgot about the Sturt/ Morphett Road servo, which was a Mobil. I vaguely recall an Ampol on Sturt Road between Diagonal and Morphett as well.

But it's not just Shell. Mobil's closed one on Brighton Road. A few have gone from Marion Road, including the one (Liberty I think) that was once Adelaide's biggest. And IIRC two have gone from Darlington. As for Darlington, the first one to close was a Mobil, so I guess they found it pointless to ...

Project cost: $350,000,000 Estimated completion (stage one): 2014 A two-stage $350 million expansion of Westfield Marion is likely to start in late 2013. The upgrade will add about 65 shops across two levels of mall, parallel to the existing malls. A strip of 10 restaurants and cafes will face Diago...

I was talking to my mum tonight about cumberland park and she was very insistent that Woolworths haven't always occupied the supermarket at the site. She remembers Target Supermarket tarding there but I doubt this. Both Woolworths and Big W have occupied the site since construction of the building ...

And for god's sake, I hope that Woolworths and Big W have self-serve checkouts! I can't remember where I was, but I was at a Woolworths, or a Coles, recently that had just been redone and it didn't even have self serve! :S Both store will be having self-service checkouts. Big W will have around 16 ...

A couple of photos from late this afternoon.

Woolworths is projected to cease trading at the end of this year and the redevelopment will follow commencing early January 2013.

Don't know how true it is but I heard that Woolworths have apparently scrapped the redevelopment
