Megamart was an Australian chain of stores owned by Coles Myer that sold electrical and furniture items. It was a sub-store of department store chain Myer, so it was also known as Megamart Your Mega Electrical & Furniture Store by Myer. Some Megamarts were bigger than smaller Myer stores.
According to Business reporter Stephen McMahon, the reason Megamart closed was that "Its small footprint meant it struggled to compete with rivals such as Harvey Norman and Dick Smith - while cannibalising Myer's own sales."[1]
