I have shopped at Emerton Shopping Village before and have found it 'The shopping Centre that is empty except for a newsagent, Woolworth's, Fruit and Vegetable Store, Bakery, bottle Shop and Coffee shop. The only positive thing they have is ample parking, you are not fighting for car pork spots.
As I revisited the area yesterday, I was only encourage by 2 aspects with Emerton Village Shopping Centre: the new Emerton Shopping Village Logo and the that parts of it have been freshly painted with black and grey, which can reflect they area.






There were aspects which I thought could have been improved: pot holes in roads, bundled and grouped trolleys not removed away, littered rubbish, the dark freshly coloured paint (not bright), the empty shops inside the shopping complex and the neglect taken from the shopping complex on maintaining a great and good image of the shopping complex. The archway and roofs needed always attention. There is an old former hardware store building/MacDonalds franchise that has been fully gratified and defaced as well.
I remember a butcher shop small business owner, who left this shopping complex a few years ago, found it hard to make business and have business needs met. When a butcher leaves a shopping centre complex, that is telling you something!
They say 'Rumors are just just until substantiated and confirmed'. Yet people talk to people whom talk to people within the community and I'm sure people talk only if they know something may be happening! That's how leaks can start as well.
If you have heard or know of this rumor, please respond and let the community know by adding a comment or providing feed back on these rumors. Maybe later on, we will publish if it is official and refer back to this post.
So some of the rumors floating about is that Aldi's near Shop Smart Mount Druitt will close for renovation and the staff shift to St Marys, until renovations to make the store larger and bigger complete Aldi's store.
The other rumor is that Emerton Shopping Village has been sold and a new and bi Aldi's store will be developed there. Once we find out more, we will let you know!
