As the city becomes bigger, niche boutique operations are eventually shoved aside – or perhaps suddenly go bust. There’s loads of shops which a lot of people have fond memories of.
Which store do you really wish was still trading? Perhaps there’s a long-shut-down food place you find yourself thinking about, or a special little store you loved.

Gowings- a good utilitarian, no frills mens shop. A shop where a man could be a man.
Remos! Used to be on the Corner of Crown and Oxford and sold the most eclectic selection of stuff – loved it. Come Back Remo
MOSH in Paramatta
Koreatown on Pitt St. There was a strip of shops right behind the Galleries Victoria. Everything was less than $20 and it makes me so sad it’s gone :(
JEREMYVILLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
Another, which I can’t remember the name.. I’m sure it’s gone.. The name consisted of 3 words & it was on Oxford St.. Adorable fashion! GREAT sale prices- adorable brown heels with orange spots for $20?!
I think the name possibly had the word ‘tree’ in it! Damn! :(
