King’s Birthday trading hours: Find out which stores will be open this long weekend!
- Replies 5
As the King's Birthday approaches, Australians are gearing up for a long weekend filled with celebrations, relaxation, and perhaps some shopping.
But before you set out to snag some deals or gather supplies for your royal festivities, it's important to know which stores will welcome shoppers and which doors will remain closed on Monday, 10 June.
King Charles III may blow out his birthday candles on 14 November, but tradition has carved out a different date for Australians to mark the occasion.
While Western Australia and Queensland opt to celebrate later in the year, the rest of the country is preparing for the public holiday this June.
However, with the holiday comes a patchwork of trading hours that can leave even the savviest of shoppers a tad confused.
We understand the importance of planning ahead, especially when navigating holiday trading hours.
Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you know what to expect from Australia's biggest retailers on the King's Birthday long weekend.
Woolworths will keep their doors open in New South Wales, ACT, Victoria, Queensland, Northern Territory, Western Australia, and Tasmania.
However, South Australians will need to look elsewhere as all Woolies stores in the state will take a day off.
BIG W follows a similar pattern, with most stores operating as usual except in South Australia, where only a handful will remain open.
But if you're in Victor Harbor, Port Augusta, Renmark, Murray Bridge, or Mount Gambier, you're in luck, as these branches are open on 10 June.
Coles shoppers will find a consistent theme, with all stores open under normal trading hours, except in South Australia.
A select few, including Port Lincoln and Mount Gambier, will keep their lights on for the holiday crowd.
Target and Kmart fans will find most stores open, though South Australians will again notice a few exceptions with stores in Firle, Tea Tree, Munno Para, Ingle Farm, Kurralta Park, West Lakes, Port Noarlunga, Marlon and Churchill being closed that day.
Reduced trading hours will be the norm for these retailers, so plan your trip accordingly.
For DIY enthusiasts, Bunnings Warehouse will be the go-to destination.
All stores are open nationwide but with reduced hours in some states. This excludes Western Australia and Queensland, where the King's Birthday isn't observed in June.
If you're looking to stock up on spirits and celebratory drinks, most Dan Murphy's and BWS stores will be at your service, opening between 9 am and 10 am and closing between 6 pm and 7 pm.
Just remember to drink responsibly, especially if you're planning a royal toast!
Westfield shopping centres will vary, with Queensland and Western Australia operating per usual, while NSW, ACT, and Victoria adjust to reduced hours.
South Australians will need to postpone their Westfield shopping sprees, as all centres in the state will be closed.
Liquorland will join the list of closures in South Australia, with a few NSW stores also taking a break.
ALDI, on the other hand, encourages shoppers to check local store hours as they will vary across the country.
Here is the summarised list of each store’s trading hours:
As we celebrate the King's Birthday, it's a good reminder to appreciate the convenience of our local retailers and the workers who make holidays like this enjoyable for everyone.
Whether you're planning a quiet day in or a family barbecue, make sure to check store hours before you head out.
