By 1992 the majority of The D.I.C. assets were disposed of and the company was able to concentrate on its stores in Dunedin, Alexandra, Balclutha and Christchurch.

The Alexandra and Balclutha stores were closed in 1995 and 2001 respectively. The Balclutha store was taken over by rival Invercargill-based department store chain H & J Smith. The D.I.C. debacle cost Arthur Barnett around $NZ 20 million and as a result the company had to borrow heavily to help finance the <a href="/wiki/Meridian_Mall,_Dunedin" title="Meridian Mall, Dunedin">Meridian Mall</a> project in 1995. </p> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:MeridianMallfacade.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/33/MeridianMallfacade.jpg/300px-MeridianMallfacade.jpg" decoding="async" width="300" height="225" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/33/MeridianMallfacade.jpg/450px-MeridianMallfacade.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/33/MeridianMallfacade.jpg/600px-MeridianMallfacade.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4608" data-file-height="3456" /></a><figcaption>Arthur Barnett is located at 285 George Street, The Meridian Mall</figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Meridian_Mall_and_a_single_store">Meridian Mall and a single store</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Arthur_Barnett_Ltd&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Meridian Mall and a single store"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Meridian Mall opened on 5 September 1997 with the final development costs close to $NZ 50 million.
