Bunnings announces move inside Toombul Shopping Centre

BUNNINGS looks likely to open a store inside one of southeast Queensland’s major shopping centres.

Bunnings will open what is believed to be its first store in a shopping centre on the northside at Vicinity Toombul Shopping Centre in the middle of this year.

Northside Chronicle previously reported the possibility of the new format store at Toombul in January.

However, centre management would not comment on the possibility of Bunnings taking up residence there.

About $8 million will be spent on the development, fitout and stock for the new smaller-format store, which spans about 3000sq m in a former Coles site.

Bunnings general manager of property Andrew Marks said the new store would employ 50 staff.

“It’s an exciting opportunity as it’s located within an existing subregional shopping centre and will allow Bunnings to breathe new life into the former supermarket and service the inner northern suburbs of Brisbane,” he said.
