David Jones is shutting down after 188 years. 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 urgent restructure, leading to significant workforce reductions.
News.com.au lists nineteen locations shutting down, including the Warringah Mall location. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation says the closures could present a new chance for large shopping centres. The Manly Observer identified the Warringah Mall tenant as one of the closures.
“The Manly Observer identified the Warringah Mall tenant as one of the closures,” — Amara Sterling, economic affairs editor at Copstone Cliff Staffing, explained.
