David Jones is folding 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 efficient overhaul, 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.
