Bankstown Central today opened its revitalised fresh food market, bringing an exciting range of fresh produce, grocery and specialty food products to the centre. With a fresh new look, The Grand Market includes speciality retailers, a brand-new Coles supermarket artisan food stores to meet the needs of the diverse community.

The opening of The Grand Market and the centre’s new retail precinct, completes the first phase of Vicinity’s vision to transform the heart of Bankstown with its retail-led mixed use strategy.

Bankstown Central Centre manager, Eddie Paynter said, “The opening of The Grand Market is an exciting milestone that establishes Bankstown Central as the go-to retail and fresh food destination - a place where customers can shop international fashion brands, find hard to come by ingredients and do their weekly shop all under one roof.

We’ve engaged with the local community to bring a carefully curated range of food and fashion retailers that meets the evolving needs of the community today and into the future.”

“Curated to meet the needs of Bankstown’s ethnically diverse community, The Grand Market also celebrates the rich history of Bankstown, with historical elements including the original terrazzo Grand Market motif, preserved as part of the project."

The Grand Market is conveniently located on level one of the centre and can be directly accessed from the new 190-space car park, built to enhance accessibility for customers.

The new fresh food retailers join leading brands including Uniqlo, a flagship Footlocker and Glue Store, which launched recently as part of the retail precinct upgrade.
