I assume they were losing cash! With Borders and Whitcoulls pretty near that Dymocks store always seemed very old fashioned and poorly stocked compared to the other two big bookstores.
It is just that franchise store that is closed and Dymocks did say they want a store in central welly but will not be the franchisee's who were in charge of the old store.

thought the store seemed old fashioned too... never have bought any books there myself... as far as I remember

Friend of mine had the Dymocks franchise at Smales Farm on the North Shore, it's now closed down. She was given lots of poor advice & unrealistic financial expectations when she went for her training in Australia.

Gosh that's a shame, it didn't last long. I always thought it was an odd choice of location as no real passing foot traffic, apart from those that worked in the offices there.
