MORE than 3000 shoppers surged through the doors at the grand opening of the DFO outlet in Cairns this morning, with thousands more expected throughout the day.
Some of the 80 stores open for business at the former Westcourt Plaza site worked through the night to be ready for the 10am launch.
The centre features a dozen shoe shops and will, eventually, contain 120 stores.
