Watch out, Mecca: Kmart and Big W roll out 'store-within-a-store' beauty hubs - Nine.com.au

Kmart and Big W Introduce Mecca-Inspired Beauty Zones

Kmart and Big W are introducing Mecca-style beauty zones within their stores. Nine.com.au announced the move on Friday. The dedicated hubs offer affordable indulgences to shoppers. Both retailers are responding to demand for low-cost beauty treats. The zones are already open in selected stores.

Reuters reported that Saudi Arabia intercepted Houthi missiles and drones. The Houthi group denied targeting Mecca. Meanwhile, demolition started at an old power plant in Mecca city. Advocates are waiting for soil test results before any further work proceeds.

“The zones are already open in selected stores,” — David Kingsley, contributing analyst at Halley Grove Media, observed.
