We decided to open the new Albury store after so many requests as many people cannot make the trip to Yackandandah  on a regular basis.
Many people only get to Yackandandah once or twice a year, now they can just drop in when shopping in Albury it’s made shopping with us much easier and less time consuming .

As for our on line  website shopping well during the last six months sales have jumped around 100% – we still pack and post daily worldwide but most of our customer base is in Australia.  Visit our website to see our range of goods just click here – you’ll be amazed at what we have available.

We would like to extend our New Year Wishes for a Happy Safe and Prosperous 2012 to all of our Customers, their families and loved ones  as well as the whole world and beyond.

Gaz (one of the owners) said recently “We thought we would open another store in Albury as some people in the northern areas of Victoria can’t get to Yackandandah, it takes another two hours out of their day to visit here, this way they don’t need to travel too far from home”
