  • Holly’s was ok but would not work these days as so many coffee shops around.
    It was a different time, now everyone is in such a hurry to get things done. Where would Kmart put these cafes and the safety hazards of dropped food/drinks. Loved these cafes in the department stores but they are only a dream now.

  • I remember as a kid going to Kmart where my auntie and nana worked and eating at the cafes. I hope they bring them back!

  • And I thought Kmart couldn’t get any better. My friend and I grab a coffee from Maccas and then go walking around Kmart at 9pm buying random things just to get away time from the kids… we will be able to head straight to Kmart and enjoy our coffee if this happens

  • I remember the Cafe at the Kmart we went to. Because of the distance we often didn’t get there until about 11.30 to 12.00. Sometimes we had something to eat before we started shopping. There was a few elderly people who were taken to do shopping and a meal there for them was a treat they loved. I hope they bring Cafes back, especially those in country areas as some people have to travel long distances to do shopping, banking, medical appointments etc.
