9 May 2024: BIG W opened its first new large-format store since 2019 at Stanhope Gardens in Sydney’s North-West.

With drive-up bays for direct-to-boot, a new store format for health and beauty, and an easy-to-navigate bulk buy department, the store has been designed to provide convenience and value on trusted brands curated for families in the local community at the heart of its offer.

Dan Hake, Managing Director at BIG W said: "Our new Stanhope Gardens store brings a new level of shopping convenience and value on brands they trust to the local community. At BIG W, we are committed to providing quality products at low prices to our customers, and we’ll continue to explore new ways to enhance their shopping experience. 

Employing approximately 50 new team members, this new store serves as a hub of employment and opportunity within the local community. 

Federal Member for Greenway, Hon Michelle Rowland MP, said: “The addition of BIG W to Stanhope Village is exciting news for shoppers and families right across North-West Sydney. This important investment in Western Sydney delivers more than just easy access to products familiar to locals – it also creates great local employment opportunities, particularly for young people.”

The store showcases a fresh and inspiring new Home range, an extensive books & technology department and the much-loved BIG W party shop that features made-to-order balloon inflation for those special family moments. Complementing its focus on value is BIG W's commitment to sustainability including energy-efficient LED lighting and the use of trolleys and baskets made from recycled milk bottles.
