What people get wrong
Store page pins 1/51 Paisley Street inside the same plaza. We keep 18 Albert as the centre address. Star Weekly once called it closed after water damage. The live plaza retailers card is open. We last walked this on 2026-09-21. Hours move with the week. Checking the shopfront keeps the night easy.
What is Kmart Footscray known for?
Kmart Footscray is known as the plaza travelator shop: cheap household, kids clothes, a printer cable, the plastic crate you will regret and then use for a decade.
You walk from Footscray station to Albert or Paisley, into the plaza, and down. Locals also use it as a landmark: meet at Kmart, meaning the travelator, not a street pin on Irving. English at the registers. Other languages in the aisles because the suburb is the suburb. The plaza retailers card still puts this door on the lower level at 1/51 Paisley, lift or travelator, (03) 9280 6700. That Paisley number is the lower-level face. The centre address we keep is 18 Albert.
This is not the market. This is not Little Saigon. This is not Highpoint. This is not Coles, though Coles is upstairs in the same centre. Slice Shop is a neighbour on Nicholson, not inside this building. Savers is 33 Albert, a street shopfront, not a travelator. An older Star Weekly piece about water damage and a closed Footscray Kmart is not 2026. Glance at the glass if you are coming from that headline.
You came because a cheap duvet needed a Sunday, or because a friend said the crate, and because a visitor who parked Irving with a Kmart letter is how a Saturday dies. Two decks. Two jobs. Stay on Albert. The red fascia facing the concourse is the tell. A 8:15pm Sunday arrival is already too late for an 8pm weekend close. The shop will take a plastic crate. It will not sell coriander. It will not open the Irving hall.
What should you buy at Kmart Footscray?
You should buy the weekly cheap shop the hall will not sell you after 5pm Wednesday: school socks, a pan, batteries, a printer cable, the crate.
Travelator down. Do not hunt a street shopfront on Paisley as if Kmart were a strip tenancy. The red fascia faces the concourse. If you wanted herbs, wait for Irving. If you wanted milk at 9:30pm, Coles is still the other clock in the same building. If you wanted Savers, 33 Albert, a different door on the same street.
Sunday this door is open 8am to 8pm on the plaza card. The Irving hall is not. That is the visitor trap in reverse: people skip the plaza because they think Footscray shuts, then they need a cheap duvet.
Stay long enough to match the travelator to this centre. Lift exists if you needed it. Ask in centre. Do not assume a night boom stays open for a trolley you meant to take to Albert. After dark, buy the crate and walk Barkly or Hopkins. Paisley as a shortcut is the safety guide no.
Hours and which door at Kmart Footscray
Monday to Friday 8am to 10pm. Saturday and Sunday 8am to 8pm on the leftover Kmart store page and on the plaza retailers card fetched 2026-09-21. Phone (03) 9280 6700. Last checked 2026-09-21. Kmart.com.au blocked this close.
Public holidays shuffle. The store page beats a maps widget. Sunday 8am to 8pm is two hours earlier than the weekday 10pm. Coles next door still fights its own clocks: plaza homepage 6am to 8:30pm, retailers 7am to 8:30pm, leftover Coles 7am to 10pm. Pair them on purpose. Do not copy Coles onto Kmart.
Park Albert. Plaza boom, not Irving. Overnight is a fail. The parking guide is the boom. Do not leave a car for Moon Dog and call it Kmart parking. Getting-here still says enter via Albert, parking from $2.
The water-damage headline is leftover. The live plaza card is open. Confirm the glass if you are coming from that story. Do not invent a closed Footscray Kmart because a 2010s piece still ranks.
How do you get to Kmart Footscray?
Walk Albert or Paisley into the plaza and take the travelator down. The store page Paisley number is the lower-level face. Do not park Irving.
House plaza getting-here still names about 400 metres from Footscray station and buses 220 or 216 at Footscray Plaza SC / Paisley Street. Same centre as Coles. Different level. Different clock.
After dark, Barkly or Hopkins out. Paisley as a shortcut is the safety guide no. Buy the crate. Walk the lit spine. Rideshare on Albert or Barkly, not a service lane.
If you already parked Irving for the hall, this is a walk, not a second boom. Do not drag a leaky herb bag onto a travelator and review the wrong car park. Two receipts. Two streets. Name the boom on the ticket. The Irving deck is more than 800 bays for produce. This crate belongs on Albert.
What do people mix up about Kmart Footscray?
They hunt a Paisley Street strip shopfront, or they park the Irving deck for a cheap crate, or they treat a leftover water-damage headline as a 2026 close.
