Introducing a store of this significance isn't something achieved overnight, it takes months and years of planning, using data and insights combined with local market knowledge and retailer liaison to identify and fitout the perfect space. This particular project commenced over two and a half years ago with a reconfiguration of what is now the fresh food precinct, creating the 1800sqm site to house Foodle.
A truly collaborative effort from leasing to the centre team, leasing design and delivery and a whole host of other teams, Foodle at The Glen deliver yet another exciting and unique offer in an ever-evolving retail mix.
