David Jones is shutting down after over a century. 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 mass job losses.
News.com.au lists 19 stores set to close, including the Warringah Mall location. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation says the closures could create a unique opportunity for large shopping centres. The Manly Observer identified the Warringah Mall tenant as one of the shutdowns.
