David Jones is closing 7 stores across NSW – here’s the full list

It’s the end of an era for DJs. The iconic Aussie department store – the site of many a girls family bonding trip – has confirmed it will close seven stores across NSW, as part of a major nationwide restructure that will see 19 locations shut across Australia and New Zealand.

The retailer, which entered voluntary administration and receivership, is set to halve its store network, with 18 Australian locations and one New Zealand store earmarked for closure.

For NSW shoppers, the cuts will hit Sydney and regional centres alike, with closures confirmed at Macarthur Square, Macquarie Centre, Stockland Green Hills in Maitland, Westfield Hornsby, Westfield Parramatta, Warringah Mall and Wollongong Central.

The news marks a significant moment for a retailer whose history is deeply tied to Sydney. David Jones first opened its doors in 1838, beginning as a drapery on the corner of George and Barrack Streets before growing into one of Australia's most recognisable department store chains.

Nearly 200 years later, the company is preparing to significantly reduce its physical footprint, with the latest closures primarily targeting underperforming suburban and regional shopping centres. Major CBD flagship stores are expected to remain open.

The NSW closures form part of a broader national shake-up, with stores also set to shut in Canberra, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia, as well as Auckland in New Zealand.

Most affected department stores are expected to cease trading over the next four to 12 weeks, with locations continuing to operate through Black Friday and the Christmas shopping period as stock is cleared.

For now, shoppers can still visit their local stores while the wind-down process gets underway. Here's where the NSW closures are confirmed.
