Helloworld Travel will open a new branded store in a high-traffic premium location within Melbourne’s Chadstone Shopping Centre in July 2026, representing a major national retail coup for the travel giant with more stores slated later this year.
The newest Helloworld-branded store highlights ongoing confidence in bricks‑and‑mortar travel agencies and demand for in-person travel expertise in prime consumer locations.
Helloworld Travel Chadstone will open in one of Victoria’s most highly sought‑after and tightly held major shopping destinations, which attracts millions of visitors each year.
Helloworld Travel CEO & Managing Director Andrew Burnes said securing a location at Australia’s biggest shopping centre is a significant milestone that highlights the brand’s strength and ability to attract experienced operators into premium retail environments.
He added that said the new Helloworld Travel Chadstone store highlights an important trend across the network for brick-and-mortar travel agencies and face-to-face expert advice.
“Major shopping centres are highly competitive environments and securing a location like this speaks volumes. It reflects the confidence landlords have in the Helloworld Travel brand and the continued role of physical retail in travel,” he said.
“Customers still value expert advice and being positioned in a high‑quality retail location like this ensures our stores are exactly where the customer is.
“This represents another step in our ongoing network expansion with a strong pipeline of new stores scheduled to open later this year.”
The upcoming Helloworld Travel Chadstone store follows other recent Helloworld-branded store openings in Victoria, including Hampton Street, Waverley Gardens and Mentone.
