Kmart leaving Dunedin's 'quake-prone' Meridian Mall after 23 years
Dunedin’s popular Kmart store in the Meridian Mall is set to leave the site it has called home for the past 23 years.
Meridian Mall was found to have a seismic performance of less than 34 per cent of the new building standard, and Kmart's lease expires in September. Kmart was now in the process of finding a new location, a spokeswoman said.
The decision comes after The Warehouse announced it would be closing nine stores across the country, including its Dunedin central store. The Dunedin H&J Smith department store was also closing its doors.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
