The countdown to the closing of the Target Country store in The Village Goonellabah shopping precinct has begun with the count at seven days.

Next Saturday January 30 at 5pm will be the last time that staff close the doors for trading as a Target Country store.

During the next week there will be some sale items that you can take advantage of but a lot of the more valuable stock will be transferred to other Target stores that will remain open.

Assistant Manager Alex Wells told the Lismore App they are not certain of what stock will go on sale and when. "We only get notice the day before or the morning of about what items will be put on sale and how much for," Alex said.

"There will be some bargains to be had but it is best to come in each day to get the best bargains before we close the doors next Saturday."

The next question on everyone's lips is "what business is going into the Target Country space?"

Justin Clarke Director of McGees Property, the company that owns The Village Goonellabah was being tight lipped about what businesses are replacing Target.

"We are in advanced negotiations with two major retailers," Justin said, "we hope to make an announcement shortly."

"If all goes to plan we will have two new tenants at The Village Goonellabah. One being a clothing store and the other a retailer, both will compliment the existing operating businesses."

All going smoothly, the timing for the new stores will be before the end of June.

Another new business coming into The Village Goonellabah is the Goonellabah Laundromat.

Development Applications have been approved by council and the fit out process has begun.

Owners David and Stacey Russell have told the Lismore App they will have 7 washing machines and 8 dryers with cashless payment options.

More details on the laundromat as it gets closer to opening which is expected to be the end of March.
