I have had an opportunity to see the new newsXpress store at Castle Towers. This amazing new store represents the next generation of shopping centre newsagencies. It’s sexy, customer friendly, corporate and high tech all rolled into one. This shop takes the usual shopping centre newsagency from a family type ‘homey’ operation and turns it into something which competes with any of the majors. It’s a huge leap forward and kudos to Geoff Hilder and his family for their ballsy investment. Many newsagents will visit to learn and copy.
Disclosure: I am a shareholder in newsXpress (but not the Castle Towers store).
