If you hate paying full-price and love to hunt down a bargain, try factory-outlet shopping.
Direct Factory Outlets
Direct Factory Outlets (or DFO) are Brisbane's biggest outlet sale superstores, and with the recent opening of the new DFO at Jindalee, they are now trading at two convenient locations. At DFO you will find 100 individual factory outlet stores offering up to 70% discount off normal retail prices – all under the one roof.
DFO - Brisbane Airport
Brisbane’s original DFO, located at 1 Airport Drive, Brisbane Airport, is easy to access from the Gateway Motorway or the East-West Arterial Road. Over 1000 carparks are available and parking is free.
DFO - Jindalee
The newly opened DFO outlet at 16 Amazons Place, Jindalee, has over 900 free car parking spaces.
The DFOs are open 7 days from 10am till 6pm (with only a few exceptions). There is a food court in each outlet for those who want to make a day of it, and parents' rooms are available too.
Stones Corner, Brisbane
Logan Road at Stones Corner, between Woolloongabba and Coorparoo, is a bargain hunter's haven for brand-name factory outlets. Cue, Jeans West, Rockmans, Colorado, Table Eight and Strandbags all have outlets in Stones Corner. Stones Corner is only a 10 minute bus ride from the CBD and is easily accessible from all inner city locations. There is also free, yet limited, parking across from Logan Road.
Harbourtown, Gold Coast
If you head towards the Gold Coast, at Biggera Waters you’ll find a mall dedicated to bargains at Harbourtown. All the big brand names are there and it is easy to while away a few hours or a whole day. Harbourtown is less than one hour's drive from Brisbane.
