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.
