They would eventually purchase this property in 1959, cementing it as the flagship store for the brand as they expanded throughout the metropolitan area. 1960s In the 1960s, Sportsgirl emerged as a leader in the Australian fashion industry, including opening a Sydney flagship store on Pitt Street, successfully developing a brand image and a store identity that moved fashion retail a ...
