The wait is over for Kalkallo shoppers, with the first business centre in the suburb, the Kallo Town Centre, now open.
The centre includes Woolworths, Ferguson Plarre, Aspire Early Learning Centre, Snap Fitness 24/7 gym, as well as 20 specialty stores to join in the coming months.
Specialty stores will include Chemist Warehouse, Gibbs Family Bakehouse, Nanak Indian Grocer, The Coffee Club, BWS and Thirsty Camel bottle stores, Domino’s, Paoletto’s Pizza, Tokyo Sushi Express, and Medical Select along with a number of other small stores.
The Kallo Town Centre will be used by the residents of several future master-planned communities, including Stockland’s 5000-lot Cloverton development, which has a forecasted population of 380,000.
Tony Sass, managing director of Oreana Group said the completion of the Kallo Town Centre was a major milestone for Kalkallo and the surrounding suburbs, and a win for retailers, with the population of Hume and Whittlesea predicted to increase by 15,000 people per year over the next decade.
“We’re thrilled to deliver Kallo Town Centre and all its convenient retail offerings to the local community that is currently living without the luxury of convenience,” he said.
“Right now, some residents are driving up to 30 minutes to the nearest major supermarket, but with the new Kallo Town Centre now open, that commute will reduce significantly, with some locals just a short walk away from the centre.
“It has been years in the making and we’re proud to deliver this much-anticipated town centre to the people of Kalkallo and its surrounds.”
