Well I grabbed my free iced coffee! Wandered quickly through the food court area from Grenfell St and came out in the mall. The food area looks pretty spacious and had a newsagency and chemist on that level also as well as the Coles store.

Open for business

Harris Scarfe has opened its new 9500sqm flagship store today in Adelaide at Rundle Place.

Located on Adelaide's Rundle Mall, the new store trumps existing stores with a sleek new look, increased floor space, and a focus on visual merchandising.

The store returns the iconic South Australian brand to its roots, having traded from the now Rundle Place site for decades prior to a move to a temporary site in Rundle Mall after selling the prime real estate to Pacific Retail.

The new Rundle Place centre elevates the tone of Rundle Mall, boasting a number of Adelaide first retailers as well as a high-end fitout including marble flooring and an upmarket foodcourt going by the name of Seventy Seven.

A full line Coles anchors Rundle Place in addition to Harris Scarfe and Best & Less.

Other retailers located at Rundle Place include the first Australian stores of three Canadian brands - La Vie En Rose, Joshua Perets, and Point Zero - as well as Adelaide firsts for Peter Jackson, Vince Camuto, and Ted Baker. Events, Blue Illusion, Queenspark, Jigsaw, Pandora, Oxford, Crossroads, Esprit, Seduce, and Florsheim among others will also trade from the centre.

Overall I'm pretty underwhelmed by it. The fixtures and fitting are great. It feels a lot smaller than I expected. Only 1 toilet in the whole centre. Already heard security complaining about that. Majority of the shops are geared towards women with money. Food court is small with not much to choose from. Also hate the idea of having to go through Coles if you wish to get to the food court from Grenfell street end. Overall it's pretty meh!

I guess you aren't the a target market

but shops aside, I'd suggest that is the best food court in the city - the lack of the standard mush like KFC and Maccas and the wide open space makes it feel like you are eating in an eatery rather than a underground canteen line.

I'm gonna go and check it out later today, I hope it is worth the hype! I'm a massive fan of a really good food court, so I've got high hopes for this one.

C'mon people, where are the photos?? Not everyone could make it there today.

I was there just after 8am this morning and i love it.

It might not have as much bling as the Pitt Street Westfield in Sydney but it still has a very classy feel for the most part.

The food court is pretty standard but the Rundle Mall level is very suave.

Considering the ancient building that stood there before, HS have come a long way and their new store is something they can be proud of.

All the staff were buzzing with anticipation of a very busy day.

And yes, I too grabbed my free iced coffee, some cake from Coles and a HS Goodie Bag. Thanks & well done.

It's pretty good!

Foodcourt is a big winner. Great look, lots of space, Yum Cha bar scores high in my mind. Woollies will be a bit nervous, the Coles store has a much better layout and with two entry/purchase points will get the customers out quicker.

The main centre has very high qulity fittings, but I was a little underwhelmed by the tennants. Sure there are stand outs but Best and Less and the shoe store (name escapes me) don't really reflect the high end feel the developers were going for, in my opinion.

HS is great, homewares section is impressive.

I was surprised as to how many stores still didn't have their fitouts completed though, maybe a missed opportunity there.

Overall, really good. The place was completely packed out, which they would be happy with!

I had a look around about half an hour ago. I'm with you though Pikey, some bits looked good, but then there were some questionable tenants especially on the first floor.
Where is the supposed Officeworks located? Is that supposed to be facing Grenfell St, like Susan and Apple are on to Rundle Mall, without access from within the centre?

I just got back from town and I'm impressed.

While I still believe the exterior could of been better, the interior has turned out brilliantly with top quality finishes and fixtures. I absolutely love the granite tiles, high ceilings and the curving walls. Even many of the shopfronts look very sleek and upmarket, especially Ted Baker.

The foodcourt also feels very upmarket and unique compared to the existing food courts in the city.

Overall it's very nice! Disappointing about the 3 'Australian first' stores not being open, also one more men's store I noticed.. Seduce I think it was called? Point Zero looks like it's going to be a more casual style which is great. Quality food court as everyone above is saying. Cant wait for Apple and the others to open!

[dsriggs]

Can confirm that the toilets have Dyson Airblades installed. Sure to infuriate some of you...
