There is no expense spared when it comes to the development of the modern day shopping centre. Melbourne’s Chadstone Shopping Centre and Westfield Knox, as well as Sydney’s Macquarie Centre have all recently undergone upgrades in the vicinity of $500 million apiece, with this trend set to continue throughout the country, from ACT to WA.
This type of money is being invested to transform shopping centres into more than merely a place people go to purchase new yoga pants and picture frames. The shopping centre of the 21st century is a destination, providing a unique experience to the contemporary consumer.
High-end shopping is in high demand. Lowes are being replaced by Louis Vuitton, Hungry Jacks are now healthy juice bars and where posters of Daryl Brohman once adorned shopfronts, the ‘Big Marn’ has been covered up with six-packs and designer beards.
For these 21st century shopping centres, each and every element contributes to the overall customer experience, from the façades that first greets them, to the music that motivates them, all the way to the litterbins that allow them to lighten their load for more shopping.
As one of the most commonly used amenities in the shopping centre, the litterbin plays a significant role in the image given of the shopping centre.
