MELBOURNE will be hit hardest by David Jones’ decision to close some of the premium food stores it launched only a few years ago, the company’s South African owners have revealed.
Other food stores will be scaled back, with a shift to a better offer online to stem the losses from the venture.
Roy Bagattini, the recently appointed chief executive of South Africa’s Woolworths Holdings, the owner of David Jones, carried through on a promise to address the losses being racked up by the David Jones Food Hall concept, with the changes announced on Monday.
David Jones will close two stand-alone food stores in Melbourne — Capitol Grand, in South Yarra and one in Malvern Central, southeast of the city — in April and May respectively.
And following a dive in foot traffic in the Melbourne CBD due to COVID-19, David Jones will bring forward the previously announced closure of the Bourke St food hall to next month, ahead of the retailer’s exit from the building in April 2022. A new food offering is scheduled to be opened in the Bourke St womenswear store next year.
David Jones declined to provide the number of jobs involved in the closures, but the department store operator said it was looking to redeploy staff where possible.
But the restructure of David Jones’ food business will not derail the convenience partnership with petrol station chain BP, which will continue across 35 locations.
The wider David Jones Food Hall concept has struggled since it launched, losing $12m in the recent half.
At David Jones’ first-half results presentation last week, Mr Bagattini repeated his focus on fixing the food business to reduce its losses.
