Dan Murphy’s opens three brand new big box stores in time for festive season

Three new large format Dan Murphy’s stores will open in time for Christmas trading, with a fourth due to open in January 2024, bringing the total number of Dan Murphy’s stores nationally to 272.

‍

In November, Victoria gained three new Dan Murphy’s stores in Spotswood, Epsom, and Rosebud, and Woolooware in Sydney’s south is on track to open in January 2024.

‍

In addition to these brand new stores, six stores have re-launched following renewals in the last month. Dan Murphy’s in Albury, Ballina, Shepparton, Erina, Noarlunga and Burwood are now all offering the latest store features to make customers’ shopping experience as seamless as possible, including electronic shelf labels, enhanced pick-up options and internal and external refreshes.

‍

Dan Murphy’s Managing Director Agi Pfeiffer-Smith said the brand new stores and renewals demonstrate its unwavering commitment to big box retailing and expanding the Dan Murphy’s brand.

‍

“Dan Murphy’s success is built on large format stores and we continue to make targeted investments to tap into growing markets in strong population growth corridors,” Pfeiffer-Smith said.

‍

The four brand new stores will add more than 3,000 square metres of retail space to our network by January, and will bring the total number of new Dan Murphy’s stores opened over the course of the year to eight, in addition to 15 store renewals.

‍

“Every year we aim to expand our network by about this number of new stores and 2024 will be no different. In fact we’ve just announced we plan to open a Dan Murphy’s at Perth Airport, which promises to be a fantastic new store servicing a wide range of locals and tourists alike.

‍

“We are right in the midst of our busiest trading period, and with 5.3 million MyDan’s members (and counting), I would like to thank people right across the country who trust Dan Murphy’s to deliver the best drinks and value for their festive social occasions with family, friends and loved ones. Our team of merchants can’t wait to help you on your drinks discovery journey this summer.”
