Aussie shoppers are set to be impacted as Catch, a popular online retailer, prepares to shut down its operations. Parent company Wesfarmers, which acquired Catch for $230m in 2019, has announced plans to cease trading and redirect assets to other areas of the business. This move marks a significant shift in the Australian e-commerce landscape, with Catch's online marketplace set to disappear. Online shopping and e-commerce platforms will likely feel the effects of this decision, as consumers seek out alternative digital retailers for their everyday needs, including online deals and discounts.
