Hmpf...

I've just learnt this morning that one of my local Kmart stores (Warrawong), which happens to be the largest out of the 3 local stores near me (Figtree, Warrawong & Shellharbour), is closing up shop due to the falling out in lease-renewal negotiations with Westfield Group.

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.
