Photo: ODTKmart is reviewing two sites as possibilities to be its new home in Dunedin and is considering options for a temporary site. The department store has also pledged to continue paying all its Dunedin staff while it works through options for the temporary site. Kmart revealed this week it would not reopen the doors of its shop in Dunedin’s central city Meridian Mall. The company was not able to share details about the locations it was exploring in Dunedin, the spokeswoman said. The council declined to comment further and did not answer a question about whether non-notified consent — a less onerous process than notified resource consent applications — was a possibility for any sites Kmart could be exploring.
