There was cafes like that in stores like Harris Scarf and Le Cornus tooin the 80s/90s you could still go to Holly's Cafe in KMart
Crinkle cut chips with brown gravy was the bomb!
For some reason as a kid stuff tasted better at those places

Paper cups are a sign of high quality when it comes to both hot chips and cinammon donuts

Wasnt really until the mid 00s that Adelaide copped its first proper coffee revolution, when the owners of Cibo Ristorante closed their very successful restaurant to concentrate on the Cibo coffee franchises. People saw their success and others followed. Before them you could get good coffee in about 5 cafes in adelaide
Well Macker19 I do recall a good coffee place on Franklin St, actually might have been down a lane off there, best coffee i'd had in Adelaide by a mile. The Cibo does the job, it's not that flash though

remember this vividly. Being very close to this even now brings back memories
I read Kmart Australia might try buy into the Canadian market. Would be cool to see. Don't think it would work though. Target bombed within a year.
Department stores seem a thing of past decades really. Not many of them about.

Malls are disappearing all over America these days.
www.businessinsider.com
The decline of the American mall has left just 700 still standing. Soon there may be just 150 left.
In the 1980s, thousands of malls dotted the country. The online-shopping boom and the pandemic have accelerated their demise.

Can't remember last time I was in a mall. At least 5 years.
One thing I remember about the 80s in Australia was from a crime point of view, there seemed to be more armed bank robberies and gun violence in general. (Hoddle and Queen st massacres for example)

I vaguely remember a department store called "venture" similar to Kmart

Yes, there was a Venture store in Camberwell, and elsewhere. They were variety stores, “department store” was reserved for Myer, DJs, McWhirters and the bigger more expensive stores.

Yep, the last of the crime gangs of the 70's before the gig was up with better security, and the advent of CCTV.
Mum used to buy my acid wash jeans there! That shop is a Rebel these days
