Myer has today announced that it will close its Blacktown store in Sydney's west, as part of its store consolidation project.
The Blacktown store will be the fifth site the department store has closed as part of its Customer First Plan, following the closure of Logan in January 2019, Hornsby in January 2020, Emporium in May 2020 and Knox in August 2021.
As part of the project, Myer has also undertaken refurbishments of the Belconnen, Cairns, Morley and Highpoint stores, with space reduction works currently underway at the Toowoomba store.
Myer CEO John King praised and thanked the Blacktown store team for their hard work and contribution to the business.
"Today’s decision continues to deliver against our Customer First Plan and we will continue to make targeted improvements to our store network, reducing space and improving the offer for our loyal customers.
"We thank our Blacktown team members for their service and contribution to the business and our Blacktown customers for their loyalty to the store – and we trust they will continue to shop with us at our nearby stores or online," he said.
Myer will work with impacted team members to redeploy as many of them as possible.
Myer cites its growing online sales, as well as the Blacktown store's proximity to the Castle Hill, Parramatta, Bankstown and Roselands stores.
The Blacktown store is anticipated to cease trading on April 03 2022.
