It did. It’s now where Rebel Sports used to be, and Rebel is now on the bottom floor of where H&M used to be!

Kmart Charlestown Square opens this Thursday. Well whoop-de-effing-do! Just what the world needs, another bloody Kmart for people discover more useless ā€œhacksā€ in.

Thanks for the reminder.. I’ll go have a wonder ā€˜round since it’s right near me. Will be interesting to see if this Kmart is any different to the others in anyway (not that I go in them very often).

Probably not. More wAnko products than there were previously.

I think you mean wander round. As in you will go for a walk around to the shop.

Not necessarily, because I might also be wondering what the **** am I doing here. :grin:

I had a ā€œwanderā€ around today.. the only thing different I noticed is that the self service checkouts/cash registers (mostly the former) are all down the front of the store, rather than in the middle… I think I recall someone posting here that is what Kmart are starting to do now (move them down the front of store).

Good. They should be in the front of the store. Most sensible shops have them in the front of the store, not the middle, not the back, not the side, the front.

Speaking of KMart…their website is now listing Target products. Don’t know if it happened at the same time that the marketplace.

How along before Target just disppears altogether and becomes Kmart Plus?

Quite soon.

I ordered something from Target last week and all of the notifications from the delivery carrier have been ā€œfrom Kmartā€. Backend consolidation is well underway.

Koko Black officially reopens its Queensland flagship boutique on Friday (December 5) at the Queen Street Mall’s Brisbane Arcade.

Mr Gration envisioned a clear pathway to opening 50-60 stores across the country in the next five years, including seven to 10 stores across Queensland.
