A spokesperson for Ally Fashion said that between eight and 10 employees would be hired for the store.

The brand first came to Bathurst in 2009 and remained in the Bathurst City Centre until its closure in early 2020.

The reason for its closure has not been cited.

While many retailers are moving online and leaving their physical shopfronts behind, there has been demand for Ally Fashion to maintain its presence in communities across Australia.

"With the global pandemic hitting all industries hard in 2020, this gave us an opportunity as a company to re-assess the brand and focus on elevation," the spokesperson said.

"There is a growing demand for Ally Fashion's in-store presence and to support this we will continue to open physical retail stores while creating the best omnichannel experience possible with a seamless transition between online and stores.

"Our commitment to our customers, our brand, and the environment grows every day. We are focused on continuing to innovate to offer world-class online shopping experiences, innovative in-store experiences, outstanding customer service, and expanding into new and exciting markets."

Ally Fashion offers "quality, affordable women's clothing that reflected the biggest global fashion trends" and has more than 150 stores across the country.
