No, we are not transferring to the next town. We are not doing a cross-country move also. Instead, we are moving just a few doors down the road from where we used to be. It might not be a significant move in terms of distance. However, the new store can accommodate more items on display because it is more spacious.

After selling over a million products and welcoming over 100,000 customers since 2003, we are jumping ship to a better location at 695A Princes Highway, Tempe, NSW 2044. This is our second move since we opened 13 years ago at Martin Place in Sydney CBD. After the lease expired in 2013, we decided to operate online for a while until the store in Tempe opened in 2014. Now, we are taking steps to move yet again.

We view these small steps as huge strides to improve our operation and to cater to the needs of our customer with precision. Thus, we would like to thank all of our customers who have supported us over the years and we aim to serve you better this 2016. You are welcome
