According to the Herald Sun, BP’s service station on the Nepean Highway in Brighton East in Melbourne’s south east will be the first rebranded, with the overhaul expected to be completed by October. The other nine stores are expected to be up and running within the next six months, with five in Melbourne and five in Sydney.

It’s not a bad idea. I associate BP with being probably the fanciest petrol station brand. They’re usually the most expensive, etc. Makes sense that they’d team up with David Jones for fancy food.
Very similar deal to what Marks & Spencer does in the UK.
Australia’s second Lego-certified store will open at Westfield Doncaster in Melbourne’s east in late 2019 as part of the shopping centre’s $20 million redevelopment.

Target closures - “no specific stores being closed but that stores would be assessed on a case by case basis.”

No doubt it’ll be a mix of converting all locations not co-located with a Target (that isn’t within a few kilometres from another Kmart) and exiting at end of lease in other locations.

Target country is all but dead. I mean they want to upmarket in regional areas can’t say I’ve seen this fine before…for a good reason.

I feel like they’d be better off converting the Country stores to the Kmart banner in some way or form (Kmarts product mix also suits small format stores better than Targets mix at this stage) , but would be a pretty big investment to pull off.

That bigw News is just the media echoing itself from many month ago when it was a announced. Why they are claiming they are ‘pressing on’ with the closures when they never announced they are ‘not pressing on’. Strange

South East Queensland will get 2 more Lego-certified store this year. These will add to the existing Dreamworld store.
Alceon Group has announced the locations of two new Lego stores opening in Queensland this year.
The investment firm, which holds the distribution rights for Lego in Australia and New Zealand, will open stores in QIC’s Robina Town Centre on the Gold Coast and Westfield’s Chermside shopping centre in Brisbane.

Nah, David Jones will start slamming the doors shut each night while locking up the store. Videos of them doing it will become a meme and that will boost sales.

It has been a year since Westfield Carousel’s first day of operations with the redeveloped areas and it never gets old. But the parking aside Grose Avenue and some other parts should be refurbished though and not to mention that works on Cecil Avenue is still happening until it finishes around next month.
On that day, there was Seven reporter Emily Baker and Nine reporter Miss Leodard (Forgot her name, please help me!).
