Last week Rundle Mall celebrated the opening of the rebel Customer Experience (rCX) store, rebel's first flagship CBD site for the new concept. The flagship store is housed over 3 levels covering a combined space of 2650sqm. Customers are provided a first-hand experience to try out merchandise on a custom-built basketball court or interactive football drill zone, with the store stocking the latest in merchandise, footwear and apparel from the biggest sports brands.
