Savvy shoppers have been “blown away” by the Northern Rivers first K-Hub store at Ocean Shores.

The shop replaces the former Target, and it opened to customers on Friday.

Store manager Jo Blissett said her team had been part of the Ocean Shores community for the past nine years.

“We’re so excited to continue our journey with Kmart, one of Australia’s most iconic brands,” she said.

“Our K-Hub store is stocked full of great value, on-trend products that we know our customers are going to absolutely love.

“It’s the ‘best of the best’ … Kmart’s most popular products across kids, home and clothing.

The whole family will find something to buy at the new K-Hub at Ocean Shores.

“The store will also offer customers unprecedented accessibility to two of our key Kmart Group brands, as the hub will become a collection point for online Target orders.”

Despite the change from Target to K-Hub, there are still 11 of the same team members in the store.

Ms Blissett said another 12 people had been employed from the local community, and recruitment is still ongoing.

There are some familiar faces in the team.
