Australia’s first iconic British Department Store, Debenhams, is confirmed to open in Melbourne’s St Collins Lane precinct.
Graham Dean, MD Pepkor South East Asia Department Stores Division said, “This partnership heralds one of the most exciting department store stories in the nation, and we look forward to opening the first Debenhams Australia store in Melbourne in September 2017”.
Plans for the Collins Street site include category-leading digital initiatives.
Additional Debenhams sites have not been confirmed, with Dean adding that research into national sites and locations has been ongoing since the partnership was announced late last year.
“We are actively engaged in negotiations to open additional sites and will work strategically to identify the best location and right market.”
