ABC Shop

ABC Shop was a network of 50 retail stores [1] around Australia selling theatrically released products (DVDS, books, CDs, spoken word, toys and clothing) related to programmes broadcast on ABC TV and Radio and related to Australian culture. The ABC Shop[2] currently endures as an online only business offering a wide range of products post closure of the physical ABC Shops mid 2015.

In July 2015, ABC Managing Director Mark Scott announced that all ABC Shops would close by 2016, with the loss of 300 jobs.[3][4] The ABC Shops closed late 2015, with the store moving to online sales. ABC iview has also filled in the gap left by the ABC Stores, with free playback TV and downloads.[5]
