News & Discussion: CBD Retail

[Nathan]

So, just out of personal curiosity (think I asked before but don't think I got an answer) - the old Harris Scarfe space in the Rundle Mall Plaza building (above JB Hi-Fi) - how big is it? I never went in there. Is it big enough for a fairly big chain to move in, or just a small store area?

Whole floor plate. Think the width of the building, and extend from entrance back to where the lifts are. Same size as Spotlight, which is the floor above.

It's pretty ratty up there though, it's a real shadow of it's former life as DJs.

The way I understood the comment Slenderman was that Peregrine had a lot to fall back on from KK (ie from the master franchisor/head office in U.S.) if it fails here, which they don't.
Peregrines other businesses/assets are not mentioned and are separate/irrelevant to this discussion. Let's move on...

Some interesting looking fit-out (finally) starting to take shape at 76 Pirie Street too.

Any ideas what's going there?

The former Spurling formal wear hire place on Grenfell Street has a Liquor Application notice in the window as well.

Red Door Bakery are opening a 3rd location at 19 Grenfell St (yes!!!)

Also another new bar Gondola Gondola, specialising in sake, umeshu and spirits, is opening in a few weeks on the corner of Peel St and Hindley St.

Because "Gondola Gondola" evokes Japanese spirits....

I joke, I'll be there!

will be open until 10pm 7 days a week.

Very curious as to what this will be like but sounds like something great for the CBD.

I wonder if People's Choice on Pultney St (Citi Centre Arcade) would be likely to relocate to 69 Grenfell St (former Sony Centre),
in a bid to replace the King William St branch (which amalgamated with the branch on 60 Light Sq).

Any news on 120 Rundle Mall (old Supre building)? I haven't been into the mall in recent weeks so the last I know was the building had it's front removed...

Last week they were putting up new glazing on the upper level, having completed a new steel frame.

It looks like the reason for gutting the building rather than a complete rebuild is they want to retain the original brick walls along the boundary lines, possibly having them exposed. If that is indeed the case, I think that pretty well rules out Uniqlo (doesn't fit the design language of Uniqlo's international and flagship stores).
