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.

I visited Myer Hobart today to collect a package for our grandchildren. I received it promptly and…read morein good order and went to leave the shop. 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!

After years of stomping around in subpar boots, I realised that it was time to upgrade to a pair of…read moreDoc Martens. The place to get Doc Martens in Hobart? Allgoods, surprisingly enough. They're not the first place I'd think of when I think of Docs--more like somewhere I'd think of if I was going camping, or out to work on a farmstay, or... well, I think you get the idea. But look, Docs are rugged boots and started their life on the feet of postmen, police officers and factory workers, so if we go back to the heart of the shoes (which is a phrase I didn't ever anticipate using) then I guess Allgoods is a perfect fit. Lisa knows her Docs. She's been wearing them forever, and even the boys will defect to her knowledge of finding the best style and fit for your needs.

They didn't acknowlege me at all until I was nearly leaving the store. The older of the two staff members asked if he could help me with anything in particular. He did this with out a friendly smile and looked almost annoyed when I said I was just having a look. The stock was of good quality. But the service was NOT
