Which store has their sights set on opening in Gympie?

We asked the stores you want to see in Gympie whether they will open here. Here are their responses.

WE asked you on Facebook what store you wanted to see open in Gympie and the answer was overwhelmingly and not surprisingly Kmart.

When The Gympie Times learnt earlier in the year Kmart had "no firm plans" to open in Gympie, we approached the other stores Gympie residents said they wanted to see make the move here, and one store's answer will give fashionistas a light at the end of the tunnel.

ED HARRY: "WE are happy to hear that Ed Harry would be popular in the town. We don't have any concrete plans for a store at the moment, but we are committed to expansion in your region if an appropriate opportunity comes up. It is one of the few areas of Queensland that we are yet to cover."

UNIT: "AS a Queensland-created and owned brand we're excited to hear of the demand for a retail presence in Gympie. There are no current plans for a store in the area however we have been encouraged by the response to a number of pop-up stores on the Gold Coast and Brisbane and are looking into further locations for both 2016 and 2017 which could include the Sunshine Coast and surrounding areas."
