I am so glad my big w and the others close by were not affected by this as i love big w it has such a great selection of things for all family members. It is a shop i regularly shop at and buy things from. I love the sales they offer too.

Ours is still there, with no indications it’ll be going anywhere.

My local Big W is super popular so i cant see it closing down at all.

Big W is the best. I would be so upset if my local one closed down.

I love Big W, prefer it to Kmart. Once a big retailer like Big W goes, so do the other retailers. I avoid the closer Big W in the Westfield and travel further to the next Big W in a smaller centre. Much more enjoyable, easier to park, even better range of products in stock.

I hope ours is safe. So many other stores are closing in our shopping centre. And I agree – with new shopping centres opening in every city/town, it’s impossible for them all to be successful.

Sad that so many people will lose their jobs.

Sounds like most things, closing smaller shops so we all have to shop at big stores, I feel sorry for the workers, but more people are shopping online so i guess they need more people at distribution centers instead for packing orders.

Well, if they decide to close so many stores, it means they are not making enough profits. I hope it won’t happen to my local Big W, because I love buying books there. 🙂

they should keep the local ones and close down the ones in the westfields/larger shopping complexes. I prefer to shop in more convenient less crowded shopping centres as it is a more enjoyable experience and I would prefer to support the smaller local to me shops.

I hope our local Big W isn’t at risk !

  I agree – the prices and the range at Big W makes shopping there a pleasure.

I hope the local Big W stays open – it is the only one in the centre and removed from others in the vicinity.

Perhaps but I, not a big fan of their range either

Maybe! The economy is a bit uncertain. It will depend on their business decision making.

I doubt ours will close.

I suspect those in Adelaide might as their Distribution Centre less than an hour away from Adelaide is being closed

I only have larger stores near me so I think they will be ok.

I dare say pakenham might go then. Given how close it is to fountain gate. Thats my closest and thats still 40 minutes away.
