They are possibly getting good deals from landlords (ie rent free 10 years, on a 20 year term) to take up some spaces in Malls that will just sit empty for eternity. Better off giving a major a discount vs the landlord investing capex into the space (normally another food court) that the landlord will never get a return on.
Some BIGW sites are still empty, and I’m not sure if Masters still have empty stores kicking around. I think the evidence is well and truly out there to landlords who wish to walk the tight rope.
I went shopping at Coles this afternoon and noticed that Christmas puddings were already available, and there were hundreds on display.
Pretty standard for the week of / after fathers day as this is the trigger to start filling seasonal sections with Christmas stock (with a brief break of Halloween in October).
It’s terrazzo style so I suspect mid 90’s as that is when that flooring style really started to take off in shopping centres - 80’s would be individual grouted tiles.
The shopping centre opened in late 90s I believe. It’s also a central train station.
They recently opened a new expansion with Woolworths and Myer refurb which is much nicer. The new Kmart in the previous Target space is much bigger as-well.
Signs have gone up indicating a coles local and a liquorland will be opening at Albert Street Brisbane (here )
considering within a one block radius we have a liquorland and 2 coles supermarkets i wonder if the plan is to close the two supermarkets (at a minimum the one at queens plaza i can see going - it’s diagonally opposite a wollies in the McArthur building that is much better patronised and has a better seleciton of stock)

Ampol Woollongabba are getting a complete forecourt replacement, tanks replacement and the shop being refurbished from a late 90s/early 2000s ‘Star Shop’ to a ‘proper’ Foodary with Barista Coffee.
Ampol Burpengary (up the road from the EG Caltex Woolworths in that area) are also getting the same Forecourt/Foodary shop refurbishment and tank replacement.
