Let's see what your predictions are for 2025 in the comments.

So far in 2024, on OzBargain:

and others of note:

Tupperware to close in Australia amid bankruptcy

Looking at the above list, I'd say Godfreys and Bonza was predictable.

    OK, going out on a limb here…

    Actually I was on the Limb, but way further out, and damn the last leaf just fell.

    Right, I'm going for it…

    In 2025, the thing that will go will be…

    (Drumroll).

    The BBQ outside Bunnings.

    Yes, those Vego's, Vegans and Tofu huggers will take over and it will fail.

    The novelty of a Tofu Burger with Aioli will pass
    and BBQ with Hot Dogs with Onion underneath (or wearing) Onions will be no more.

    People will drive to Bunnings, realise something is missing and just wander about not quite sure why they went or what to do.

      Dunno, they got a flogging with the Onion Fiasco.

        If it isn't broke, you don't try to fix it.

        (But if it is broke, Bunnings have the lowest prices for the Tools you need). lol

      You can enjoy vegetables, vegan food, tofu, AND Coles economy snags.

      Snagger zombies, on the prowl for charred flesh.
      Solution?
      (I hear vegans taste like crocodile, which tastes like chook)

      Price check! Ozito chainsaw!.

    Kathmandu, Superdry. Overpriced speciality clothes with high margins but also mid to high rents to pay, so if as I suspect business falls off a bit they could teeter.

    Kathmandu have BCF, Anaconda to compete with, where you can get more of what you need for actual camping etc.

    Superdry quality and brand profile fell off years ago, amazed they've lasted this long.

    • Jimothy Wongingtons on 14/12/2024 - 09:36

      I bought some super dry polos this year and thought they were alright on sale at $49. Had to look for a while though as was specifically chasing the ones with small logo , not the ones with the a4 sized F off billboard style size logo

    • quick-dry on 14/12/2024 - 10:45

      also Macpac (with BCF, macpac, rebel and supercheapauto all owned by super retail group)

      I'd see Kathmandu's retail presence shifting, but they're still very high margins on their stuff, and plenty of people seem to shop even above the "the discounted sale price that should be the regular price"

      • Craze on 14/12/2024 - 11:42

        Only buy Kathmandu's during their clearance sales + loyalty vouchers, but they've changed T&C for birthday voucher with a min spend which is annoying.

        Their quality has also taken a hit- I have a pair of merino socks purchased maybe 8-10 years ago which is of decent quality but can't find that now.

    Recaro car seats

    Flexicar hopefully. Most bugs in an app I've ever seen.

    Nissan Flagged they are close to Bankruptcy i think

    They are good cars but i think the cult of Toyota is hard to breech

      Highly doubt if the Japanese government will let Nissan go busted. Worst is they will become part of Mazda or Honda and sell off their stack of Mitsubishi to a competitor.

      Not so much that I don't believe, more just their model line-up has shrunk so much.

      I agree to Nissan as well given how they're going in the US, and not much better here

  • fatkoala on 14/12/2024 - 11:55

    Sydney Trains
    Red Rooster and/or El Jannah
    Some Woolworths stores

    Victorian Government deserves a shout under Alan

  • machej on 14/12/2024 - 13:43

    Maybe Suzuki and Honda. If not 2025, in a few years. Honda prices are ridiculous for what you get. They used to be great.

    Some retail that potentially could disappear soon:
    1. Dusk
    2. Cettire
    3. City Chic Collective
    4. Ezymart
