That store has been there for at least 20+ years and with it's loss means yet another decrease in the retail outlet options of the Illawarra and 133 employees faced with redundancy.
Aw man that sucks, and you wonder why people shop online these days? It's like Aussie Retail (Westfield Group in this situation) is shooting itself in the foot!
