A sneak peak at what’s featured in this week’s issue of Inside Retail Weekly….

15 years and $665 million in the making, late last week QIC Global Real Estate opened the doors to its redeveloped Eastland shopping centre in Melbourne’s east. The unveiling of stage one of the new Eastland was packed with key talking points, including the arrival of 100 new retailers and the unveiling of new concept stores by David Jones and Target. You can read all about it in this week’s issue of Inside Retail Weekly.

Elsewhere in News, we cover the 2015 Shopping Centre Council of Australia Marketing Awards; The Good Guys’ move away from its joint venture partner model; and Showpo’s winning pureplay focus.

In his Opinion column this week, Jared Dickson looks at how the fate of the long-embattled Masters Home Improvement chain could be sealed within a fortnight – if it hasn’t already been sealed.

In From The Source – or should we say From The Sauce – we chat to Eagle Boys’ newly minted CEO, Nick Vincent, who has a plan to restore the pizza chain to its former glory and tackle its key rival, Domino’s.

You’ll find all of this, and much more, in Inside Retail Weekly Issue­­ 2069.
