Aldi stores are just a normal supermarket size, it's not like they are like Costco

[AtD]

Aldi has quite a small format. It's between half and 2/3 the size of a typical Coles or Woolworths. They are not a "full-service" supermarket - you can't get all your weekly needs in one stop and the range changes constantly.

It's like a cross between The Reject Shop and Ikea's food market - a weird combination of short-date food, imported crap from China you don't need, and brands with umlouts in their name.

Once Aldi and Costco open, all the major national chains will be represented in Adelaide, along with the local guys Foodland. Would I be right in thinking Adelaide has the most competitive market in the country?

Ripcurl is in the process of having a closing down sale, everything is currently 50% off. the store is closing and not relocating.

Hopefully they don't demolish it. That store exterior could form a great new entrance into the new cinema and dining complex.

I must have missed something, but where is the new cinema and dining complex going to be?

They're re opening a couple of the old regent cinemas up and making it a bit more for adults, with a bar etc.

A bar? Will my dreams of being able to drink a beer while watching a movie at the cinemas come true?

Have you heard of the Palace Nova on Rundle St? You can take beer and wine into any of their cinemas, and they have the old Imax screen to show the latest hollywood crap on

That's what this new cinema will be. Article can be found here

The Ginos Group has proposed splitting two existing cinemas, which currently resemble bare shells, into four state-of-the-art gold-class theatres with a new candy bar.

Each intimate theatre will seat between 40 and 50 patrons and screen the latest Hollywood blockbusters.

Patrons will gain access to the theatre from a repaved and upgraded Arcade Lane, which will feature a new balcony, canopy, landscaping, plus lifts and stairs to take patrons to the first-floor cinemas.
