There's a new Bunnings near me where the entire building footprint (including outdoor, etc) is above the ground-level carpark. Once in the building or garden centre, there's every impression you're at ground level because the experience is like every other Bunnings, but without exposure to the elements. Then there are solar panels on the roof.
The total footprint as a result is far, far smaller than other large Bunnings buildings in the state.
- waste_monk 5y agoNormal Bunnings locations have a drive-thru area for people picking up bulk or oversized goods, and there would have to be a cargo dock to actually get stuff into the store - how is this handled at your location?
- prawn 5y agoThey still offer trade services and courtesy trailers at Edwardstown. In fact, they seem to have far more services listed than a large store like Mile End: https://www.bunnings.com.au/stores/sa/edwardstown https://www.bunnings.com.au/stores/sa/edwardstown https://www.bunnings.com.au/stores/sa/mile-end https://www.bunnings.com.au/stores/sa/mile-end There's a large timber 'yard', but I haven't looked to see how it works. Seems like there's a ramp up: https://bit.ly/31XKTBb https://bit.ly/31XKTBb Might be an oversized lift/elevator too. Otherwise, larger trade enquiries could be pushed off to a different store. Another store like Kent Town has a fairly small footprint but external parking, so I assume that sort of thing would be phased out.
