If the landlord didn’t renew their lease they must have redevelopment plans. I assume the ANZ won’t be there much longer too.

Maybe an effort to capitalise on the Charles St upgrade?

Vinny has a point though.
Is a discount store full of cheap goods what you would expect to find in what is referred to a premier shopping precinct?
If we're trying to encourage more workers to move into the CBD then there needs to be a range of options available for people of all socio-economic levels. It can't just all be designer brands & high-end international retail outlets. Rundle Mall HAS to be the local shopping centre first.

the city already has two residential villages centred around Hutt Street and Gouger Street precincts which offer high street facilities for local residents. A reject shop in either of those areas might be more functional.
However as a former worker in that CBD area, there's also utility for a reject shop.

I strongly disagree with Patrick and Viny.

I am saddened to hear the Reject Shop in Rundle Mall is closing. :(

Yeah like, seems a bit WEIRD to have a reject shop within literally less the 50m of Tag Heur and Rolex? Rundle mall is our premier Boulevard. Can we please get rid of that shitty shop.

I’d go as far to say the landlord was probably told by Adelaide Economic Development Agency (AEDA), to not renew the reject shops lease.

Given some of the crap that’s on Rundle mall this shop didn’t look too out of place. But I do agree there any many other places to have this in the cdb. And if they want to attract people into town they need to start developing prominent hubs outside of Rundle mall. A lot of the others mentioned are mostly cafes and restaurants

At long last, it seems very much like the upper levels of the Myer Centre will be reopening soon!

City Cross not doing its interior overhaul much justice with such a tacky Macca's exterior.

Do we know what's happening with the exterior upgrades? Doesn't seem like there's been any movement on any of the four entrances.

They didn't patch up the cladding that fell off a couple years back on the Gawler St side.

It's a McDonalds (and a KFC next to it), they're not there to 'uplift' the area but bring in a big steady revenue stream for the property's owners.
