Major shopping centres, prime anchor sites for retail, food and service franchises in New South Wales:

Centre	Location
Westfield Parramatta	Parramatta

Sydney metro carries the highest fit-out and rent costs in the country, so bricks-and-mortar franchises here sit at the upper end. Regional NSW and home-based/mobile models offer far lower entry points, often under $100,000. Retail rents vary by centre and strip, confirm current rates with the landlord or a commercial agent.
