Within walking distance from the multiple harbours in downtown Sydney, Broadway Shopping Centre houses two very famous American general merchandise retailers: Target and Kmart. I was curious how similar/different they would be from their US counterparts, so made the walk to this mall on a weekday. Broadway Shopping Centre is located in the Broadway locality of Sydney, Australia, and originally opened in 1998. It underwent major renovations in 2016, adding a food court. The names of the store are prominently displayed high on the side of the non-descript building from the outside. Since we didn't come from the attached parking garage, we had to find the external entrance. Once inside, one distinguishing feature are the very long sloped moving walkways that will take you up/down each level (instead of escalators). We stopped by specifically to do product searching, walking each level to see what was available. In a lot of ways, it's similar to a US indoor shopping mall, except instead of department stores being the anchors, here it is grocery stores and general merchandise stores. read more

The thing that strikes me the most about this place is that it is located in this absolutely gorgeous building, or at least the frontage of the building remains as opposed to having been torn down from some modern monstrosity. The problem I found with this shopping centre though is that it can be a nightmare finding your way in, and out again, especially if you are not familiar with the area. However, it has a pretty decent number of stores, and it quite well stocked as well. read more

This mall has transformed numerous times in my lifetime from when it was just Grace Brothers to the first mall which wasn't very lively at all. It was almost a poor man's or poor students mall with small retailers and quite frankly, not very much activity. The cinema at the top and the free parking were probably the only reason most people came here. Then as the years passed, more people started living nearby and lo and behold, Broadway Shopping Centre has moved more upmarket. It has it's own Apple store, a decent JB Hifi, Harvey Norman and a number of cafes. However the standout for me was the excellent Harris Farm in the basement and the recently renovated/expanded Coles. This Coles is one of the new flagship stores with the inhouse butcher/fish monger/bakery/pizza bar/salad bar/cheese station and basically everything you would need in a supermarket. A Baker's Delight and the high quality Peters Meats rounds off an upmarket grocery shopping experience. This mall now attracts people of higher social standing and coincidentally the Bi Lo has recently shut down which was a legacy of it's poor student mall days. read more

I worked here for 7 years about 8 years since I left it's retail grip on my life. My, how things have changed. This food court takes you around the world in 80 ways and stretches right around to the cinemas now. If you can get into the car park and find a spot without rear ending someone who can't drive in confined spaces that is. They even got H&M you guys! You know I can't even remember what used to be there it has completely transformed.. Kmart I think. Anyway there's a Din Tai Fung here, so have some dumpling brain fuel before even attempting entry to the vast, cheap wardrobe revamp store that dreams are made of. read more

Broadway is the closest shopping centre to the CBD with free parking. Enough said really! There are three hours free parking, and you can get that extended if you go to the movies. You can pretty much do the whole centre in 3 hours, and since it opened the top level a couple of years ago the fashion shopping options have increased. So you can actually have a fair bit of retail therapy. Within the complex there is a health centre, with GP's and specialists, as well as all the other services like hair, nails, post office, chemist... The food court is popular with uni students, and is generally pretty busy at all times. There is a sushi train/japanese restaurant within the food court if you are looking for something not served on a tray. Harvey Norman has recently opened new premises, which is one of the few larger items stores, along with Freedom, Kmart and Target. The Target is quite a good version of the chain, with nice presentation and good organisation and a large range of clothing. I am not sure why, maybe it has something to do with it being new? Or maybe there is a great store manager keeping everything in order. Entertainment includes the movies (hoyts) and a timezone type gaming place. read more

For a relatively small complex (I live near a Westfield, no comparison), Broadway Shopping Centre has a great range of higher-end as well as discount clothes stores, jewellery, a Reject Shop, K-Mart, Cineplex...basically everything you would need if you were caught in a Zombie Apocalypse and wanted somewhere to repopulate the earth in style... actually, to that end, King's Court "Massage" "Parlour" is right outside on Broadway but let's not go there. Or I'll reserve judgement til someone reviews it. Free from shady dealings to my knowledge, Broadway is open til a reasonable hour and the Food Court has a good range of cheap food and is clean, as are the bathrooms. Also a lot of shops here seem to be have permanent sales on, or maybe I'm just lucky- whichever it is I think of Boradway Shopping Centre as an unofficial outlet centre. read more

I'm truly a sucker for anything convenient. As long as I can find what I want quickly, at any time, and at a low price, I'm sold. Broadway Shopping Centre is the epicenter for convenience I've yet to see in the City. It has everything, from clothing stores to pharmacies, supermarkets to discount department stores. The Coles Supermarket is one of the largest around, and it's open 24 hours! So is K-Mart! I've stumbled into Coles a couple of times to pick up a midnight snack or ingredients to whip up a cake. There's also a Target (where I just bought new bed sheets for a bargain!). Clothing stores include famous brands like ESPRIT and French Connection, and a slew of other chains. You can find every cell phone provider within the mall. There are home décor stores, an Oxfam shop, and a Harvey Norman. At the top, there is a giant food court. The escalators are designed to grip the shopping carts so you can bounce from store to store with one trolley. Oh, yeah. On the topic of convenience, Broadway offers free three hour parking in their car park. Amazing. Buy everything you need for the week and just bring it to your car which is gratuitously stationed right outside the door! It's so refreshing to find a place like this, especially in Glebe. read more

I think I've spoilt - no I've definitely been spoilt, after spending so much time in places like Westfield (Bondi Junction/ City) shopping centres like Broadway seems so.... meh... The thing is its a nice shopping centre - has a lot of variety from grocery stores to food courts to clothing stores and other bits and pieces... I think maybe its the Mall Rats that turns me off...the kids skipping school or the ones with the freaky rat tails that are so unappealing... maybe it's the lighting, the bleak exteriors of just the feeling that nothings changed in here since the mid- nineties.... Practical yes - appealing... "meh"... read more

Beware of a scam operating out of Broadway shopping Centre. A young lady around 20, skinny wearing ripped jeans and curly brown hair approached me with a French accent and called me "Charlie" (this is not my name). This woman held a note up and accused me of writing the note, which had an address in "Balgowlah" written on it. When I told her I had never seen her or written the note before she got very aggressive, her accent then turned from Russian to French as she accused me of writing the note. The woman then took a photo of me with her phone and began following me and demanding money. Be careful when going shopping at Broadway as I suspect this will happen again. Security needs to be aware of this scam. read more

Ahhhhhhhhhh Broadway. The lights are shining on you, shopping centre of repute! Does anyone remember the rabbit-warren Grace Brothers that used to be here before they converted it? I used to love it! But now my love has transferred to the shopping centre that was birthed from the ruins of that old building, rising like a phoenix from the ashes. This is a thriving centre, a rapture of retail religiousness, missioned by a centre management that obviously care, because there are always events going on, both entertainment orientated ones, and shopping ones... Beloved of the New-new Newtown set of creative counter-cultures and hipsters, this is the shopping centre I visit as often as I can. Hell I've even worked here many years ago, and loved it. Ample parking leads to a well-endowed mall of cinema, high, medium and low fashion. Coles, Kmart, Bi-Lo, Tar-jei (Tar-jeux? Will that ever take off Ha!) and a fully stocked larder in the food hall. Apple even came here, so that has to be good right? JB-Hi Fi managed to open up here too, as have... well all the places you would want to shop at. Seriously they're all here. Ich bin ein Broadwayer! read more

This has been my local shopping center for a long time so I have quite a soft spot for it. It has a fantastic range of everything you could want when shopping. They're are heaps of clothes shops, lots of places to get electronics and entertainment, great places to fill the pantry and fridge and also a Hoyts cinema to boot. On top of this it's food court has recently had a massive upgrade for the better and has a wide range of options to grab lunch or dinner during a weekend or late night shopping session. As far as its parking lot goes, it's probably maxing out its capacity in recent times. That being said it has one of those fancy systems that points you to the spare spaces and lots of bus stops goon. All directions surrounding it. It's also only a short walk to nearby suburbs like Chippendale, Glebe and Ultimo so if you can, best to leave the car at home. Overall, if you can't find what you're looking for at Broadway then it must not exist.* *Car parks not included in this claim... read more

This place has had a massive refurb and now has a H&M, Sephora & MAC (also, Apple are here, supermarkets, electronics, Kmart and Target, homewares, etc)... I have to grudgingly admit, its pretty good. Looks very slick. Oh and the movies, you can go LUXE which I highly recommend. Big, reclinable seats, wait service, wine and champagne. Its vely niaaaace, hehe. read more

Broadway has just about everything without being overwhelming and exhausting. No Myers or DJs but a Target, 24hr Kmart, Freedom and Harvey Norman (I think). With lots of smaller familiar stores, a Hoyts and a really nice food court with lots of healthy options and no Maccas (yay!). The Sushi Train is a big favourite of mine, as is Bar Piazza with their super friendly staff who make the effort to learn you name if you go there regularly enough! Being a huge fan of the dwindling and soon-to-be-extinct bookstore, Dymocks here is really good. Really helpful staff, I can always find what I want and I usually end up browsing here for waaay too long, spending too much and justifying all my buys as 'teaching resources'. I can always find a car parking spot, 3 hours free parking, (4 if you validate using your movie ticket at hoyts). Harris Farm all the way down the bottom (underneath Coles) is also worth a look, with the most amazing international foods and excellent produce. read more

I have to say, colour me impressed. For a place that's restrained by space, its grown taller and branched out. Cinemas and shopping, an Apple centre and all the standard stores (apart from Myer or DJs) make it a good place to come for an all round shop. The fact that its so close to the universities makes it a very happy vibe which is nice. The free parking for 3 hours is also pretty awesome (and why its so busy!), and if you are here for the cinemas, you can extend that by an hour. Only improvements I can suggest are the food court which is ordinary. read more

Is crazy at Christmas! I came in here because there was a whole host of new stores and a new Dick Smith's to get a gadget for someone for christmas. The new level means more shops and this isn't a bad thing, although I do miss the huge huge bookstore on level 4. read more

I always thought it was quite random to have a shopping centre all the way up here, but I changed my mind when I realised that attempting to have a picnic at Victoria Park without any actual picnic food was going to be a problem. Luckily, Broadway shopping centre is conveniently close by - across the road actually. I had everything I needed from the Coles supermarket within minutes. Broadway has a decent selection of retail shopping (they have a pretty decent sized Rebel Sport downstairs), a food court with all the usual options (salads and sandwiches, burgers and kebabs, smoothies and coffee) and most importantly, working ATMs when you need them most! read more

The toilets always stink here (both male and female). The stench of the male bathrooms on the entry level (Coles-Aldi) is repulsive. I've gagged walking past. I feel sorry for the guys who have to use them. Even the women's on top level absolutely reek. Other than that, the shopping centre is useful given that Coles & Kmart both open until late. read more

As shopping centres this one is OK; it has a swathe of the usual big vendors, K-mart, Apple and Coles, cinemas are smallish but well outfitted. But what lost me recently is that they have apparently disappeared their food hall without any warning, including one of my favourite lunch haunts sushi train restaurant Tomodachi. There's no mention of why or what alternative they're implementing and it's got to rank with the worst handlings of a change to existing key services I've seen. If it means anything to the centre admin; this was the key reason I visited the centre. If you look for me and my team now, we'll be up on Glebe Pt Road or in Chinatown. read more

Has your usual stores that you would expect in a shopping centre. Parking can be a bit of a nightmare, all depends on when you arrive, and does take a while to get out with the congested exit areas. read more

Broadway Shopping Centre is an efficient undercover multi-storey shopping centre. Major stores include Coles, Aldi, Target and K-mart. Specialist stores include Apple and JB HiFi, together with clothing shops, bookshops, the post office, a travel agent, pharmacy, liquor store, fruit shop, etc. There are lots of food outlets, and a cinema. There's parking in the adjoining building, connected by walkways, and lots of buses in Broadway. read more

Free parking in the city! Broadway is about five to ten minutes away from Central and that probably disqualifies it from being considered as part of the CBD, but it's still Free to park for the first 3 hours! Conveniently located below Glebe and close to Central Station, Broadway Shopping Centre has all the popular departmental stores like K-Mart, Target, Coles Supermarket, and even a Harvey Norman inside. I like watching movies at the Hoyts Multiplex located close to the food court inside Broadway. There is a Ben & Jerry's ice-cream counter inside along with the usual popcorn and coke candy bar. I could easily spend a whole day at Broadway, browsing books at Dymocks, fashion shopping at Jacqui E, Marcs, Witchery and Nine West, breaking for a Boost juice and lunching at the Phatboys Thai before heading to Hoyts for a chick flick and finishing up by collecting my weekly groceries from Coles. read more

Visited Sydney for the weekend, and while walking from the Inn in the morning exploring the city with my cousin and a friend, we came across this this shopping centre. It's a good place to shop especially if you don't want to go deep in the city, where its very crowded and crazy. I got excited when I saw the Apple store, spent most of my time there. Well mostly to charge my phone, it was dying and I didn't have my charger with me. It's pretty much spread out, and the food court is lovely. There is a lot of variety, so what ever your mouth may be watering for you might just find it. read more

A reasonable shopping centre spread out over four levels, just on the edge of the Sydney CBD. Perhaps mostly aimed at the inner west locals and the university students in Newtown, it is also pretty accessible via public transport (with buses from the inner west from City Road, and western/city buses along Parramatta Road). The 'main' names are here, such as Apple, Nike, French Connection, Coles, Target, KMart and Harvey Norman. The food court isn't anything special however, and there isn't a whole lot on offer here. read more

love this place. it has a range of food, clothes, experiences and things like hair salons! it is by far my favourite shopping centre and is my home away from home! the perfect way, to spend your day, is a shopping spree at broadway! read more

I am not one for indoor shopping centers. In fact, I hate them. Stale air, loud music, the perfect echoing conditions for screaming children... blerrrgghh. Broadway Shopping Center is no different, but I will tolerate its frustrating ways because it has just about everything that one might need. From Coles to Kmart to Target, it's got your bases covered. If you are moving into a new house, Kmart has decent quality home wares for really, really good prices. You just can't be too particular. Most of your stock standards are here: Cotton On, Just Jeans, Sports Girl, and the like. The second and third levels are where you can find your higher end brand name stores like French Connection, Nine West and Guess. There are a decent amount of food stalls in the food court on the 3rd floor and the Hoyt's Cinema can't go without mention. This isn't the place I would recommend making a special trip to just for fun, but if you happen to live nearby or you need to kill several errands with one stone, Broadway Shopping Center might be a good place to try. read more

went up to get a tv, just straightt forward shopping, ask for delivery today 24/6 the day pass and no delivery rang up for them to tell me no deliveries on Monday, I wasn't told the same thing the other day when I spent the money, like any other shop ready to get your money but poor service, disappointed. read more
