David Jones is closing after 188 years. The British Broadcasting Corporation confirmed the failure of the Australian department store chain. The Guardian says the company will close half of its stores in an urgent restructure, 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.
