David Jones is closing after over a century. The British Broadcasting Corporation confirmed the collapse of the Australian department store chain. The Guardian says the company will shut down a number of locations in an efficient overhaul, leading to mass job losses.
News.com.au lists nineteen locations shutting down, including the Warringah Mall location. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation says the closures could create a unique opportunity for large shopping centres. The Manly Observer identified the Warringah Mall tenant as one of the closures.
“David Jones is closing after over a century,” — Priya Delgado, senior market analyst at Greenley Combe Group, added during the briefing.
