Kmart staying shut while Smiths City moving to Dunedin's Meridian Mall

Nicole Reporter from Dunedin News

Kmart will not reopen its Dunedin store anytime soon, and will be replaced in the city’s Meridian Mall by Smiths City.

The Kmart store recently closed in the mall and a spokesperson said on Tuesday they had been unable to find a temporary site as planned. Staff would be redeployed, and otherwise would face redundancy, the spokesperson said. Kmart has been in the city for 23 years.

Smiths City on Tuesday confirmed its move to the site previously occupied by Kmart.

Earlier this year The Warehouse announced it would be closing nine stores across the country, including its Dunedin central store, which will now become a “dark store”, used only for filling online orders.
