Department store Myer has reneged on its plans to open a store in the Northern Territory.
Darwin will now be the only capital city without a high-end department store.
The retailer was due to open its doors at Casuarina Square this year but after announcing its financial results, has confirmed "it will not proceed with a planned store in Darwin".
Myer says the decision is part of a new strategy for the company.
As long term locals Greg and Ali are disappointed with this decision, especially seeing as other large retailers have reaped record sales since opening their doors.

Ever wondered what it would be like to fly First Class on Emirates A380? This bloke got an upgrade to First Class and decided to document his experience. If you had money to burn it looks like the perfect way to travel....otherwise, most of us will just have to be satisfied to be sitting next to the emergency exit to gain a couple of extra centimetres of leg room.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of joining a group of Territory media professionals to participate in a trial testing for the AFL National Female Talent Search.
My morning consisted of a standing and running vertical jump test, an agility test, a 20m sprint and a skills session.
It was a great opportunity to see first hand what Territory women will go through at the national trials in Darwin on July 7.
There is definitely no lack of talent here so to have a women's team will be a massive win for the Northern Territory.
Athletes can now register their interest for the Darwin Talent Search at www.AFL.com.au/womens

The Territory Remembers program presents a free screening of Little Boy under the stars on Saturday 8 October
When auto mechanic James Busbee is sent to fight the Japanese during World War II, he leaves behind his wife and two sons, London and Pepper.
Pepper feels his father's absence most keenly, and can't wait for him to return home. An encounter with a magician and advice from a priest convince Pepper that the power to bring his dad back safely maybe within himself and his actions.
Bring along a picnic rug and relax on the Waterfront lawn under the stars with family and friends. Movie goers are encouraged to arrive by 6:30pm to secure a spot on the lawns.

Will & Grace was a successful sitcom that ran for 8 seasons from 1998 to 2006.
Will, a gay lawyer, and interior designer Grace have been best friends since college. Living in the same apartment complex, they're constantly in each other's business. Stirring the pot of melodrama is Grace's "employee," Karen, and Will's flamboyant friend, Jack.
Well….after a 10 year absence the gang are back and the reason for that reunion is out.
Debra Messing, Eric McCormack, Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes have revived their Will and Grace character for a video released ahead of the first presidential debate.
The 9:30 min video sees Will and Grace both worried about the rise of Donald Trump, while Karen is a supporter of his policy on Latinos.
Meanwhile Jack is distraught about the break-up of Brangelina.
