Stockland Green Hills 'pops' the champagne for new Dan Murphys store opening

Stockland Green Hills will pop the champagne this Thursday 27 October, when the new Dan Murphy’s store officially opens its doors. The opening marks the first significant milestone for the $372 million shopping centre redevelopment which commenced in January this year.

The new full-line stand alone store will be 44% larger and will stock over 3,500 products from around Australia and the world. Located off Mitchell Drive, the store includes 61 undercover car parking spaces for customer convenience and a new ‘Click & Collect’ service, with quick and easy online ordering and in-store pick up.

Stockland Centre Manager, Chris Travers said: “We are extremely excited to officially open this new Dan Murphy’s store, the first new retailer for the bigger and better Stockland Green Hills. The new store is a great addition to the centre with fantastic range and variety for our customers. This is just the start of exciting openings for us, we cannot wait to open many more new retailers in the coming year, which we know our customers will love.”

A number of modern features have been integrated into the new state-of the-art Dan Murphy’s store fit out including; a cool room twice the size to stock a greater array of local and international beer, a climate controlled Vintec cabinet to keep wines at their optimum temperature, a tasting station with dedicated in-store tastings manager and new specialist sections for Whiskey, Champagne and Sparkling wine.

A new ‘Local Heroes’ precinct will also be installed to showcase and support some of the Hunter Valley’s greatest wineries with over 50 local wines from the likes of Audrey Wilkinson, Scarborough, Bimbagen and Tulloch.*

Dan Murphy’s Green Hills Store Manager, Colin Maughan said: “We are very excited to open the new Dan Murphy’s Green Hills store and to be a part of this key development milestone. We are proud to employ 26 local staff members and look forward to providing our customers with great service to find what they need backed by our Lowest Liquor Price Guarantee. Our knowledgeable, passionate staff look forward to helping local shoppers when they visit the new store.”

The Stockland Green Hills redevelopment continues to steam ahead with the next stage of works also commencing this week. Last week, the centre opened the second stage of the 110 space customer carpark at Two Mile Creek, taking the total number of parking spaces to over 870 leading into the festive season.

Upon completion in April 2018, Stockland Green Hills will feature the first new format David Jones department store in the Hunter with over 225 specialty shops and a vibrant new dining and entertainment precinct that will be the biggest and best in the region.

Chris Travers continues, “There’s so much more for customers to look forward to from today as we move into another important stage of the project. We’ve made great progress so far this year and we’re looking forward to delivering an exceptional retail, dining and entertainment destination for the region.

The Stockland Green Hills development is estimated to generate more than 2,285 jobs – 1,350 jobs during construction, 1,250 direct, new, full time jobs in retail, customer service and hospitality and an estimated 1,200 indirect jobs for local suppliers and service providers within the regional economy.
