This has been on the cards for more than a year, and now it's on:

QUOTE: Gore Hill will move to Chatswood on 3/3

Unit 1A 372 Eastern Valley Way
Chatswood
NSW 2067

Maybe they want to share the costs of rental, seeing how expensive that is now.

It is a fairly large building. Supercheap Auto, BCF and The Good Guys are there. From memory, there was originally a Mitre 10 hardware store there. It is right at the bottom of Eastern Valley Way at the Boundary Street end.

The Good Guys are in Unit 2/372

Apparently the unit that Jaycar is moving to is just left of Supercheap. Last time I was there it had a mechanic or vehicle detailer or some-such in it.

Parking there is more plentiful than at Gore Hill, although Good Guys have the bulk of that space.

I was in Jaycar at Gore Hill this morning, picking up some batteries. Most of the stock was gone and only small items remained. When I went to the counter to cough up for the batteries the salesman was in the middle of disassembling the drawers on the back wall which had diodes, transistors, fuses, etc in them.

BCF has only recently opened up in the same building that Jaycar is shifting to. I guess the landlord must be thinking that his Christmases have all come at once with an array of new tenants. The company that owns BCF also owns Supercheap I think.

I visited Jaycar Gore Hill after lunch. The manager explained that today is changeover day. For the last week or so, stock has been moved to Chatswood, with about one or so of many items left in Gore Hill until COB tonight, when all remaining items will go to Chatswood for the grand opening tomorrow (Friday).


The company that owns BCF also owns Supercheap I think.

Yep:
