I doubt Uniqlo would want either space. They'd be demanding significant frontage.

While I don't disagree that they may not be so concerned about a significant 'external frontage', one has prominence in the Emporium while the other could potentially have an escalator up to a tacky CX space.

I agree with Nathan that both sites would seem unsuitable to Uniqlo.

Makes you wonder how Harris Scarfe is faring without ground floor frontage.

And in further Rundle St news, Bing Boy has closed, and Lorna Jane will also soon be shutting up shop (not surprising though, given they have a store in the mall as well).

I walked past today and they were open. I don't think they open till 11am so maybe it was before that you walked past?

Weird... Jurlique only just lodged an application with the ACC for minor external/signage upgrades?

Citi Centre Arcade food sellers claim trade down by half after tables and chairs removed and toilet shut

A CITI Centre Arcade tenant says trade has been down by half since the new owners of the Rundle Mall shopping centre cleared away the majority of tables and chairs last week.

Master Chef Indian Tandoori owner Rao Chep said he knew the arcade connecting Rundle Mall and Pulteney St was slated for redevelopment in March next year, but thought trading would run as normal.

“It’s not a good feeling – I’m not happy,” said Mr Chep, who has spent $70,000 on light and gas fittings for his stall.

“For five days I can’t sleep. I sleep for 10 minutes and I wake up and see this in my dreams.

”My daughter turned 18 on August 19 and I took her a cheesecake and she said, ‘No, I don’t cut, this is sad news.’”

While management has now returned about 10 table settings to the arcade, the toilets remain locked every day – aside from noon-2pm – and vendors say the cleaners have had their hours cut.

When The City visited Mr Chep, who runs the business with his wife Manju, a customer asked why the toilets were locked.

“Six months is OK, but don’t take the tables, don’t lock the toilets,” Mr Chep said.

Ke Chong, who works at Eastern Delights, said trade was getting “harder and harder”.

“They have already locked up the public toilets so somehow it’s like they are forcing us to move,” she said.

Joanne Datsopoulos of Arena Coffee said there was “no choice” but to deal with it.


“You come for lunch and you see there’s hardly any tables and chairs. Sometimes people walk away,” she said.

Citi Centre management did not to respond to The City.
