You’re almost at stop number 6, the bustling Wagga Wagga Marketplace! Look to your left, and you’ll spot it with no trouble. You’ll recognize it by the prominent white buildings with large signs for Woolworths and Big W, which are anchor tenants, flanking the entrance. That tall clock tower with the colorful compass logo marked "Wagga Wagga Marketplace" is a dead giveaway-you can't miss it!
Now, let's talk about this landmark. Wagga Wagga Marketplace is not just any shopping center; it’s a hub of activity located right in the heart of Wagga’s CBD. The main entrance is on Baylis Street, but you can also enter from Forsyth Street, Morgan Street, and the underground carpark if you're coming from a different direction.
The Marketplace has a bit of everything with Woolworths, Big W, and Australia Post serving as the primary anchor tenants, alongside over 60 specialty stores. So, whether you’re here for a quick grocery run, some retail therapy, or just to grab a coffee, you’re covered.
Originally constructed by Woolworths Limited, this shopping haven was acquired by Industry Superannuation Property Trust in July 1997. It got a fresh coat of paint and new signage in 2006, and in 2012, it expanded to become even more shopper-friendly, adding sixteen more stores and extending the car park. So, it’s safe to say that Wagga Wagga Marketplace has continued to grow and evolve, ensuring it meets the needs of every visitor.
