Masters Mandurah
Masters store located near the Mandurah Road - Mandjoogoordap Drive roundabout which is one of nine stores in Western Australia for the Woolworths-Lowes (USA) joint venture in hardware. Opened in early 2015 it adjoins a Woolworths supermarket and other specialty stores next door. Heavy losses against incumbent rival Bunnings in part due to an aggressive expansion (often next to Bunnings stores) and low sales have seen Woolworths abandon the category altogether and announce closure of the chain by early December 2016 with a liquidation sale over the coming months. These shots were taken the day before the start of the closing down sale.
The stores (including several development sites) have been sold to Home Consortium who will reconfigure the sites to a combination of Spotlight, Anaconda, JB Hi Fi, The Good Guys and Woolworths supermarkets. Rival Bunnings will take over 15 of the 61 stores open.
