News & Discussion: CBD Retail

[The Scooter Guy]

While on the mall, Sushi Hub are opening a third store in Rundle Mall, at the entrance to the Myer Centre foot court.

Hopefully where Eating In Italy was. It'll be great to see this space revived after a four-year idleness.

All Louis Vuitton jobs in Adelaide have been removed from the job availability list on LV's website. Seems they've been snapped up

Unsure whether this store is going to be in the CBD though. Perhaps burnside ...

The OTR Convenience store on Rundle Street closed permanently on the 28th of August.

I wonder why? No plans to demolish the car park yet and OTR tend to keep open even under performing petrol stations and stores because they can?

I imagine Romeos Foodland took away many customers from that OTR

The only saving grace for it was it's long opening hours, it was very expensive compared to the full Romeos Foodland just around the corner.

It could be the new owners and a different management philosophy?

At while back there was an overhaul with the trading hours, a lot of Subways and Hungry Jacks that occupied OTRs ceased 24 hour trading

Signage up in the window of the former Koorong bookshop/cafe on Waymouth St saying Billy Hyde Music coming soon.

Job ads on seek for Adelaide first “watches of Switzerland” store. I can’t help but think we’ve gone from 1 high end watch store to 5 within a few years and the economy isn’t exactly booming so it will be interesting to see if they all survive. The ad says the store won’t open until 2025. It could be at Burnside potentially but all of their other stores are in cbds.

Ah damn, I think this site sold recently and I hoped it was ripe for redevelopment.

Ah nice, across the road from the former Billy Hyde / John Reynolds store. They were teasing earlier this week about a new location since their current building will be making way for South Rd.

McDonald's and Hungry Jack's have opened a scourge of outlets in Adelaide recently. This would make it the third in Rundle Mall. Is it necessary?

[abc]

indeed they're popping up like mushrooms everywhere, particularly the Hungry Jacks

I noticed a new one on Marion Road, another on Goodwood road just recently
