There are fears a major Melbourne shopping centre is set to be demolished to make way for a massive new housing development.
Staff at Kmart and Priceline at the Brandon Park Shopping Centre in Wheelers Hill, in Melbourne s south-east, have been told by management both would close forever by Christmas, the Herald Sun reported.
This has sparked rumours the entire centre, which was opened in 1970 and has more than 80 retail stores, is about to close.
The 23,000 square metre shopping complex also struggled to maintain foot traffic during the Covid pandemic, experiencing a significant drop of physical customers in store.
Priceline at Wheelers Hill in Melbourne s south-east will soon be closing its doors permanently
