ISPT is set to unveil the first stage of its $160 million revitalisation of Karingal Hub shopping centre, which includes a new format Woolworths, Coles and Aldi supermarkets.
The Frankston centre in Melbourne’s south-east will also feature 25 fresh food and specialty retailers within the brand new 750 sqm MarketPlace Fresh grocer.
ISPT general manager retail services Sam Curry said the first stage was built with the needs of local shoppers at its heart, taking fresh food retail to a new level locally. It aims to revitalise the retail offer by giving customers access to a dynamic mix of independent and locally owned food and specialty stores.
“The first stage of the reimagined Karingal Hub redevelopment offers the community a complete and convenient fresh food destination.
“It offers not just vibrant new facilities and a sustainable design, but also unmatched convenience with the introduction of three leading supermarkets, fresh produce, a variety of seafood, cafes, services and specialty stores – all in one place, with ample free under cover and open air parking,” he added.
Centre manager Catherine Polley said the new fresh food precinct responds to growing demand by local shoppers for a broader assortment of market-style fresh food.
“Our Coles is the latest format, giving customers access to new-to-market mochi, macarons and a mini gelato dessert bar, a specialty pet scoop and weigh service and delicious freshly baked flatbread flipped daily in store.” Polley said.
