Introduction
Kmart Busselton is the big-box store that many locals now think of as a go-to for everyday needs — from simple homewares and kids’ clothes to seasonal buys and last-minute gifts. This article gives a clear, human-centred look at the store: where it is, what it sells, how it feels to shop there, and why it matters to the Busselton community.
Location
Kmart Busselton sits in the Power Centre on West Street, making it easy to reach from the main roads around Busselton and Vasse. If you’re planning a visit, it’s straightforward to find and usually has ample parking for shoppers.
A short history
After a long local push for a major discount retailer, Kmart opened in Busselton in late June 2018. The arrival of the store was notable: it brought affordable everyday shopping to town without residents having to travel to larger regional centres.
Opening hours
Kmart Busselton keeps hours that fit around working locals and holiday visitors alike: it typically opens from early morning and stays open late on weekdays, with slightly shorter hours on weekends — hours can change for public holidays or special events, so it’s a good idea to check before you go.
Store layout and atmosphere
Walking into Kmart Busselton feels like entering a modern discount department store: wide aisles, clear signage and well-spaced displays that make browsing easy. The layout is organised by broad departments (home, clothing, toys, seasonal), which helps when you’re shopping with a list or little ones in tow.
What you’ll find — product range
The store offers a broad selection across homewares, storage solutions, everyday clothing for the family, children’s toys, baby items, basic electronics and seasonal outdoor gear. Expect to find both core essentials and the occasional exclusive item when new ranges roll out.
Services on offer
Kmart Busselton provides the standard services you’d expect — in-store purchase support, Click & Collect options, lay-by (where available) and photo-printing services. Staff can usually help with locating stock or using self-service kiosks.
Who shops here
The store serves a mix of shoppers: local families grabbing everyday essentials, retirees picking up homewares, and visitors on holiday in the region looking for affordable supplies. Its extended weekday hours also make it convenient for people who work standard business hours.
Customer experience
Local feedback points to generally positive experiences: shoppers praise helpful staff and good value for money, and many highlight the baby and kids’ sections as especially well stocked. As with any busy store, experiences vary depending on timing and stock levels.
Best times to visit
If you prefer quieter shopping, mid-morning on weekdays is usually the calmest. Evenings during the week can be busier as people pop in after work. Weekends — especially late mornings — see the highest foot traffic, so plan accordingly if you dislike crowds.
Tips for bargain hunting
Keep an eye on seasonal clearance racks and the weekday restock windows when new lines arrive. If a particular item is important, consider using Click & Collect (when available) to reserve it, or ask store staff when the next restock is due.
Nearby amenities
The Power Centre location means Kmart is close to other everyday services like supermarkets, petrol and quick dining options, so it’s easy to combine a Kmart trip with other errands or a quick coffee stop.
Community impact
Kmart’s presence in Busselton has been more than just convenience; it has helped keep more shopping local, supporting the town’s economy and providing jobs. For many residents, the store reduced the need for long trips to larger centres for basic purchases.
Final thoughts
Kmart Busselton is practical, accessible and oriented toward everyday value — exactly what many local households want. Whether you’re after a quick replacement item, summer décor or children’s clothing, the store is a dependable option. If you’re new to the area, it’s a simple place to start when you need basics without the fuss.
