[COM] Westfield West Lakes (Extension)

[Brucetiki]

David Jones to downgrade their West Lakes store into their 'Village' format - in short a single story store with a focus on fashion and cosmetics only.

It's understood David Jones will occupy the first floor only, with something like Top Shop or H&M taking David Jones' ground floor space.

Do we really expect that Topshop or H&M would open their first SA standalones at Westlakes? Maybe a Cotton On megastore?

Why not?. West Lakes is the third biggest shopping centre in the state, plus these stores are struggling to find suitable space in the Adelaide CBD.

I'm also pretty sure there already a Cotton On Mega at West Lakes. Either way it would be extremely underwhelming to lose a DJ floor for that.

In terms of Sales West Lakes is almost on Par with TTP which is a big surprise to me. I guess because its a more affluent area. Those international brands would do well here.

There is a Cotton On at West Lakes.

Cotton On Mega has more variety and floor space compared to their stand alone Cotton On stores. There is already one at Marion and Rundle Mall (former Borders store)

Cotton on Mega is about the same size as Best and Less, about 1/4 the size of a floor of David Jones at West Lakes. H&M would be more suited then Cotton on Mega to the site unless they are going to divide up the space, I doubt David Jones would give up the ground floor, it has mall access on two sides, the first floor only has JB-HIFI, cinemas and a few shops, less traffic. Another options for the store could be a JB-HiFi home store.

I have also heard a big new Foodland run by Chapley (Frewville, Norwood, Henley Bch) is going to be built in the new West development. Incl. Aldi and one day more specialty shops/high street fashion it will be good competition against Westfield.

Aldi has already opened. It's on the corner of West Lakes Bvd and Fredrick Roads.

Yes I know, I was just saying Aldi & many other stores to come will give Westfield good competition.

Haven't H&M already confirmed they'll open at TTP if that expansion goes ahead.

They seem to be pretty content with opening in the suburbs before opening in the CBD

Some of the departments have already made the move - Menswear moved upstairs a couple of weeks ago.

Also, I note Westfield have said new retailers will take the level 2 space. Will that mean they will be converting the space into specialty shops and it won't be a H&M (or someone along those lines).

Would like to see JB move into a bit of it.
