What's going in at the new Bonner Shops?

The LJH advertisement out the front for lessors lists who is going in already:

Woolworths, Woolies Liquor, Coffee Guru and Chicken Gormet (sic).

Coffee shop would be nice, I heard that they would be selling liquor there, don’t know how well that goes being right across from the school.

I don’t see why people like to link liquor shops being near schools to being a terrible thing? Do people really think that the primary school kids are going to pop across to woolies liquor a lunchtime for a 6 pack of VB? I think that if you look at a good proportion of schools, there’s likely to be a supermarket + liquor somewhere within 500m and has no impact on them…

I don’t really find this study that thrilling (I mean, what comes first?) but I think it is pretty good timing in relation to some of these comments! Hahahaha! 😉

At times it’s very convenient to have a pub/licensed café near a school (even for the parents). I managed to get two vodkas down during the five hour end-of-year extravaganza recently. Thanks Tilley’s, you saved my life that night.

One thing that would suck about the bonner shops is the poor people who live immediately behind them with an excellent view of a big brick wall and loading dock of the woolies. Another brilliant gungahlin design..

I was talking with EDD reps yesrerday. The for sale signs are likely to go up on the Amaroo Group Centre land (behind the servo) in March or April. Any supermarket other than Coles or Woollies, 3500sqm, plus a delightful shopping village about Manuka size.

Al – you and the OP are talking about two different developments though, right?

I also heard there was going to be a Liquor Land as part of Woolies and a Chicken Gourmet…

There are heaps of well established suburbs that don’t have a decent cafe, hopefully Bonner doesn’t get lucky so soon, haha!

Actually its more the parking and the badly planned roads that is annoying about Gunghalin Shops.

Yup. Surely it’s only a matter of time before people are avoiding that place in droves.
(more and more like a 20-year-delayed replay of Tuggy TC, now that I think about it)
