Bunnings
A three-storey Bunnings store spanning more than 20,000 square metres is coming to Sydney. The multi-level store – the first-of-its-kind in New South Wales – will cost $48 million to construct. Bunnings Regional Operations Manager Alan Harvey says, “The new store is expected to create over 130 team member jobs, as well as additional jobs throughout construction.”
The store, located on the corner of Warringah Road and Allambie Road, will have three levels of retail and on-site parking for almost 400 cars.
In recent years, the hardware giant has expanded its customer service offerings to online consumers, launching the Bunnings online store in 2019. In the same year, Bunnings launched a homewares and storage collection, which flew off the shelves.
In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, Bunnings’ famous sausage sizzles were temporarily suspended – but that didn’t stop the store from coming up with fresh new ideas to keep their customers inspired, launching a series of live-streamed DIY tutorials with design and style experts including The Block’s Josh and Jenna and podcaster Sarita Holland.
As for the Frenchs Forest store, Alan says it’s still too early days to confirm an opening date. “We look forward to providing a wide range of home and lifestyle products to the Frenchs Forest community,” he says.
