Our Target closed and became a kmart. Much more suited to the area

Thankfully my local hasn’t. I’ve only just discovered how great the Kmart home section is.

So many stores now closed

I worked at target during high school and then it closed down. About a couple of years ago Big W closed down and everything was half price or less.
Now we only have kmart in the local area which is a shame! The two centres really need some dazzling up to attract more people but shutting stores like these really won’t do the centres any good.

What has opened up there now?

Ofcourse people will be unhappy about the closing. 40 years is a looong time. That’s not good news for the localites.

Oh snap. A chain store closure. Not good. Not good.

We lost one big w but because we still have one in town it hasn’t really effected us with shopping but Definitely took alot of people’s jobs here

So sad to have these big shops closing down. Online shopping just isn’t the same.

Far too many stores are closing! Target, K Mart, Big W mostly replaced with each other or a supermarket

So many closures ????

Doesn’t affect me too much. Whilst it’s sad about the loss of jobs as a result of the closure I can’t say that I frequent those stores enough for it to worry me.

The way they have changed the stores cutting back on staff and selling a lot of junk clothes they really have changed with quality. I bought a tee shirt and had to buy it in two sizes bigger also some of the tops were so thin you could see straight through them.

I’m so glad it’s not my local but I hear that my target will now be becoming a Kmart. I’m disappointed and excited by this news

I can’t believe that such a large retailer as Kmart would not be doing well.
They have really had their finger on the pulse in recent years with the lowering of prices and great designs and products in the homewares range. I thought they were doing really well. That leaves little hope for us smaller retailer’s

I suspect there will be more closures in the future with the current environment we are in.

It really makes no difference to me if both those stores close down as Kmart and BigW are a three hour round trip for us so I shop online, especially with Kmart, love their products and postage is cheap They currently have free delivery on purchases $45.00 and over. Bargain of the century postage wise.

I am amazed that there haven’t been more closures.

Our local kmart is over an hour away so I don’t visit all too often. But when I’m up that way, it is a store I enjoy looking through. Lots of fabulous products at affordable prices. I think I would be upset if our local closed it’s doors

It’s becoming so difficult for retailers to stay open.
