We’re keeping you up to date on openings, launches and stuff you might want to know.
We last checked in in December last year, so there’s half a year of happenings to catch up on. There’s been a bucketload of new stuff, so let’s get started.
Grand Central
New additions to the evolving Grand Central development!
- In March Cotton On opened a new store on Level 2, offering Rubi shoes too.
- In May the Concierge Car Wash opened. They offer premium hand wash services and full vehicle detailing, and are located just inside the Little Street car park entry.
- On Saturday 9 June iPlay had their official launch at their recently opened space in Grand Central. (This is a different centre to the existing iPlay Café and Play Centre.)
- The Barvarian Toowoomba joined Grand Central on 14 June, bringing 17 beers on tap, big screens and bratwurst!
