Local big box HW store (but one of their smallest stores) has closed their front doors on main street Monday to Friday. You know the doors near all the nice footpath seating.

Car brains ruining everything, and particularly main street.

Time for a letter to the council.

Cheaper to have staff at the carpark entry.

Why do you claim closing the main street entrance and keeping the carpark entrance staffed is inherently cheaper than closing the carpark entrance and keeping the main street entrance staffed?

  • Bunnings is a hardware store. The vast majority of patrons would get there by car. Throughout the week tradies use the store, and their work hours are Monday to Friday. Closing the car park would definitely result in fewer customers.
  • thieves are probably less likely to use a car, since stealing by car is slower and more identifiable. A lot of these kinds of Bunnings too have car parks with barriers that they can use to stop cars getting out.
