The upmarket David Jones apartment store in Lambton Quay, Wellington, will close its doors in a little over a month's time.
The store replaced the former iconic, Kirkcaldie and Stains department store, on the central city site almost six years ago.
While it began with a bang, foot traffic in the area has dropped off, and the firm says it's no longer sustainable.
The firm's regional manager for New Zealand Jason James spoke to Corin Dann.
