INDEPENDENT supermarket chain Foodland has signed a lease to anchor the new Wallaroo shopping centre in South Australia's York Peninsula.
The Wallaroo shopping centre is a joint venture between Drake Foodland and a local developer.
Colliers International’s Ben Laycock said the deal for Foodland to relocate from its existing site in Wallaroo to a 2,500 sqm supermarket in the new shopping centre will revitalise the main street.
“Anchor tenant Foodland will be supported by a Cellarbrations liquor outlet and nine specialty retail outlets. It will be surrounded by landscaping, open grassed areas and a modern piazza-style outdoor area providing parking for over 300 cars.
‘We have had a considerable amount of interest from local business as well as retailers from nearby towns such as Moonta, Port Hughes and Kadina and those farther afield in Port Wakefield and Gawler,” he added.
The centre is currently under construction and is expected to open around September.
