New store opens with 2024 in the picture.

 

Officeworks will open a new store in Warrnambool today (9 August), the retailer’s 167th outlet in Australia.

 

The new store, located on a redeveloped site in Raglan Parade, which also includes a JB Hi-Fi outlet, will create “around 40 new jobs”, according to the retailer. 

 

Plans for the Officeworks and JB Hi-Fi stores were given the green light when two motels on the site were closed down.
