Myer Hobart, formerly the historic Brownells store on Liverpool Street, has been a central retail…read morehub for decades since its acquisition by Myer in 1959. After a devastating fire destroyed the original building in 2007, the store underwent a major reconstruction, reopening in 2015 as a modern, multi-level facility in the heart of the CBD. While department stores a bit of a dying breed in the USA, they're still around in the cities I visited in Australia. Hobart was no exception as I took a stroll through the multiple floors of the Myer Department Store during a recent visit. The placement of the escalators was a little confusing, but I did find as I took the elevator to the top and walked down. I was looking for stationary, travel things, and maybe a nice shirt. Store staff were well dressed and professional. Decor-wise, things seemed a little plain, albeit functional, clean, well stocked, and easy to maneuver.

Of my own fault, I tripped over my own feet and planted my face on the floor. The floor staff raced to my aid and made me comfortable as my nose streamed blood like a fountain. Their first aid officer Kelly was with me in moments, made me safe and handled the situation with calm and professionalism. They called the Tas Ambulance officers straight away, who examined me carefully and passed me to go home. Everyone was so kind and helpful, and I can't thank them enough. Well done, Myers, for good training and fast response and well done Kelly and the team for a challenging morning, handled like pros! Just a postscript: the other Paul C. who pops up on this review site (August 22, 2020) is not me! His comment about young, giggly uni students was not my experience at all. God bless 'em, I say!

They succeed in this mission and you'll find yourself in their poky shop where all visible sunlight has been replaced with bright yellow signs. I'm sure some kind of psychology testing has gone into this, and bright yellow must make you feel like you're getting some kind of bargain. This is actually a relatively large store despite the cramped feel, and they seem to have a good range. Their staff are also genuinely nice and provide assistance when it's clear you need some. Entrance from the Cat & Fiddle Arcade, or down some stairs at Collins street level.
