I feel sad for the 117 people who have lost there jobs plus more to come.
Is it because everyone resorts to online shopping and looks for bargains or was it just a store that lost customers interests

Not a shop we frequent too often these days.

Such a pity that people buy online and don’t use their local stores – online doesn’t have the costs of a retail store’s rent and employees but I have found little difference in price – we are just making sure there won’t be jobs in the future for our children.

That’s what happens whet you try and sell cheap tat at expensive prices

It is a bit sad but they make things too expensive – can only afford to buy when on sale.

Although it is sad, you could see it coming. Nobody is ever in these stores when I walk past. Haven’t stepped foot into Supre in about 15years! Unfortunately online shopping is taking over. It’s all about convenience.

We don’t have any of those stores nearby but I feel sorry for the workers who are now without an income.

I can understand the closures. Now that Cotton On has Factorie and Supre under their wing, I find that there’s no longer the point of difference there was previously. My understanding is too, that they’re hoping to create SuperStores that cover off a number of their brands. I’m not sure how wide ranging the closures are as we still have Factorie in our Shopping Centre and Supre nearby.

Oh no. Me and my daughter LOVE Cotton on, Supre and Factorie !!

I’m not really a fan of this store but it is always sad to hear when a store is not doing well.

Warrnambool is my home town and the way the council has redesigned the city centre has had a very bad effect on local businesses, a lot of them have had to close down, some purely because of the length of time the upgrades took to the lack of parking now available

The cost of overheads is making it hard for physical shops to stay open, and with more people buying online it is cheaper and more cost effective for them to have a good online store instead, sadly it is a sign of the times.

Such a shame to see all these closures of late. It’s particularly hard for us in rural areas, our target closed 3 years ago. We have to travel 2hours just to buy basic clothes and shoes.

  You can buy from Target in their online store, save you travelling and they have good return policies and free shipping offers.

Bit sad to see the chains closing down, all comes to affordability for people and range. Different demographic these days.

  It is sad because it limits choice.

We only Not long got supre, our factorie closed a few mouths ago

Always see factories and supre empty so I understand

Oh no not cotton on. But to be honest the quality is going downhill recently.

I hope they don’t close down ones near where I live. Though I don’t shop at Factorie, I have bought things from Supre (bath bombs) and I love their cause of being against bullying and giving out free bags to kids with info.

Improving quality would make the biggest difference.

Unfortunately if it'[s not making money then it has to go.
