Except there really isnāt much left. Unless you want to buy shelving or those machines that go ping! when you steal something.
Or an iPhone case.

I went to Dick Smith at The Glen this afternoon (the store will shut tomorrow - Sunday). It was mostly empty now apart from shelves which had been marked as sold. They are even selling price scanners!
I think all remaining Tassie stores except for one closed on Wednesday just gone. Certainly the two North-West Coast stores did. I went in last Sunday and found a couple of adapters which could come in handy, originally marked at $19.95 I asked the guy what they were worth and he scanned them and laughed at me, got them for $1 so I got a couple and a 5m USB cable for $2.50. A couple of months ago it would have been worth $60, this week it was $4.50.
Not sure which store is still open, Iād guess probably the Hobart City one.
I got some ADSL line splitters for $2 each marked down from $35. Not much else left apart from phone cases.
80% off all batteries (in stock) - if they have the one you want, a good deal.
New shopping mall St Collins Lane opens in Melbourneās Collins Street today. It used to be Australia on Collins until it closed in October 2014 and had all the floors demolished and rebuilt. The food court has moved from the basement to the top floor and include an outlet of Neil Perryās Burger Project. When I go to the city next time I will visit the mall to have a look.
David Jones has announced it will open a revamped store at Wollongong Central late next year, just as Myer is closing its store at the same city this October. Myer is also closing the stores in Orange in NSW and Brookside in Brisbaneās north-west.
Thatās my local Myer. 
The timing is odd, H&M (worst kept secret) opening in September, Myer closing in October.
I guess a āWorld Classā DJās is a good replacement though. I wonder what will replace the DJās building though? I can see them selling it off for apartments/offices.
Going upmarket? 
Every DJs Iāve been to in Brisbane has been depressing as fuck. Myer has a much more uplifting and modern feel about it.

Here in Perth we have 2 relatively new DJs (Perth CBD and Claremont Quarter - which is a bizarre format which actually involves 2 completely different DJs storefronts in the one centre), and 2 other locations that have been practically untouched (but are finally getting expanded/refurbed alongside shopping centre refurbishments) since they were a completely different brand (Aherns) in the 90s.
Myer is pretty much the same deal, with exception to its CBD store and its new Joondalup store, its other locations are stuck in the past and look really dated.
Failed Masters sites could be replaced with an international big box retailer Poco

The building in that article looks like the love child of super cheap auto and chemist warehouse

I was thinking it was the bastard child of Ikea and Fantastic Furniture.

I once went into the Poco at Blacktown and it is an even more downmarket IKEA.
The Masters in Parafield SA is now finished but never going to open. So there is a brand new blue building that is empty now.
how is that even possible
