Dick Smith has opened a new retail store concept in Westfield Bondi Junction, dubbed Move<\/a>. From their newly-launched site:<\/p>\n

It’s Sydney to Paris via London, connected.
\nIt’s where you’re styled-in to trends and detailled-in to technology.
\nIt’s here. It’s now. And it’s on the go. It’s time to MOVE<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They’re definitely targeting that upper-echelon mix of fashion and consumer technology,\u00a0listing brands<\/a> like Apple, Beats by Dre, Nicole Miller, Bowers & Wilkins, B&O Play and Samsung on their site. They’ve also reportedly teamed up with\u00a0Alexandra Spencer from 4th and Bleeker<\/a>\u00a0and Romance Was Born<\/a>\u00a0to provide the fashion cred for the store.<\/p>\n

Go check the pictures\u00a0from their launch<\/a>. To me? It kinda looks like a Typo had a baby with a JB Hi-Fi.<\/p>\n

According to the jobs section on their site<\/a>, plans appear to be afoot to launch a Melbourne version of the store in short order, listing Store Manager<\/em> and Technology Stylist<\/em>\u00a0roles available.<\/p>\n

I worked at a Dick Smith Electronics during university, and there was always this pervasive ‘why are we here exactly?’<\/em> vibe. I think they’re on the right track by launching with a completely new brand, but\u00a0I really wonder if they have what it takes to compete in the ultra-competitive retail market. Time will tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dick Smith has launched Move, a new retail store blending fashion and technology in Westfield Bondi Junction.\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1326,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[11],"tags":[94,274,225,276,257,275,277],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"reckoner_social_message":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1324"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1324"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1324\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
