How can stores that have such a prime market Keep going out of business? What are they all getting so wrong?
I know the Baby Bunting in Castle hill closed down but I'm pretty sure the one in Chatswood is till going strong.

BRU is a bit like TRU in that a lot of their prices are slightly higher than some easy alternatives. All baby stuff is expensive, a lot for good reason. A lot of testing and performance rating goes into a baby products to ensure they are safe. In Castle Hill there is a Baby Kingdom a few blocks from the TRU/BRU and they are always very busy, I wouldn't be surprised if they had at least 15 staff on at any one time.

that's a bit shit.


I think part of TRU's problem in Australia is nearly all of their stores are remote to shopping centres. I can only think of the Parramatta store when trying to think of one that's inside a westfield or similar. all the others (Moore Park, Bankstown, Castle HIll) are in home maker centres.

I honestly hope they find a buyer.
I wonder, if I walked into a bank and asked for a loan that would allow me to buy TRU Australia what they would say
