Grand Central Centre Manager Shaine Beveridge said it’s the first time in Toowoomba’s history that some of the biggest names in Australia retail will be under one roof.
“Big brands Kmart, Big W, Woolworths. Best&Less and City Beach will be opening their doors, as will an extended range of specialty stores and fast casual dining options,” he said.
“Additional car parking, accessible via Victoria, Little and Duggan Streets, will provide the best access to the new stores,” he said.
“The opening of Stage Two is a very exciting time for Grand Central and the Toowoomba community — and there’s still plenty more to come.”
Grand Central will celebrate the opening of Stage Two with activities, special offers and giveaways from today through to Sunday. ‘Gigs at GC’ also makes a return, with live music throughout the centre to add to the celebratory atmosphere.
“We’re looking forward to bringing the community together and celebrating this next stage — with something for everyone,” Mr Beveridge said.
Kmart, Big W and Woolworths will run special offers from today, including giveaways for their first customers, face painting, in-store discounts and more.
