The overseas retailer push continues with the British fashion retailer Topshop Topman to open its second Australian flagship store in Sydney’s historic Gowings building.

The Jam Factory on Melbourne’s Chapel Street was TT’s first Australian store opening late last year in space vacated by the collapsed bookseller Borders.

The retailer tweeted its announcement this afternoon. It will open in October.

“After the great response within the Melbourne market we are excited to announce our second Australian store opening,” Topman spokesperson said.

“The Topshop aesthetic will strike a cord with the effortlessly chic Sydney market and build on the phenomenal success of our Melbourne flagship store.”



Topman will spend $1.85 million on the retail fitout of the Gowings building.

The George and Market streets corner will occupy 1800 square metres over four levels.
