Quick lil review of the new Bunnings Preston:

Getting there: very close to the old site( Bunnings Northland) Entry way finding signage easy to see.

Parking: a VAST improvement on parking. Multi level undercover. Found a spot right near one of many entrances.

Pedestrian and way finding: all car park levels lead to the multi level foyer which in turn have both large lifts and travelators. 3 levels in total. We were on 2nd level so not sure whether to go up or down.

In Store: it’s really no bigger than the old Northland site. Just reversed. So the garden/landscape is now on the right side. I never ask for help finding things because it’s WAY quicker to look up on the Bunnings website. To my pleasant surprise the digital way finding was spot on and current for the new store. everything fully stocked and clean. Fuckloads of people.

Checkout: I always do self checkout and there are an additional 3 more scan stations. Awesome.

Trolley return: no trolley return bay even in sight. So just put it back in the foyer area as I try not to be a lazy bones.

Exit: getting out is a bit shit( this time exiting on Chifley Dr) you can only turn left so it backs up a bit. Will probably see if I can exit elsewhere next time.

Additional note: Bunnings is on level 3. Sausage is on Ground level. Today it was Yara Valley Hockey and the snags were 4/5 but they had a choice of white or brown bread.
