How proud are we! Our newsagency, newsXpress Forest Hill, was second place in the ACP Magazines Newsagent of the Year Awards last week. We received the award at a dinner for Australia’s top newsagents at the Twin Waters Resort in Queensland. First Place went to Yarrawonga Newsagency in Victoria. Third place wan won by newsXpress Gympie. Williams’ Newsagency and Griffith Newsagency filled out the elite group of five finalists for these national awards.
We were thrilled with our second place, having never won anything for our newsagency business previously. In our decaying shopping centre we reckon we’re doing well with our 22% lottery sales growth, 25% magazine sales growth and 10% newspaper growth. The ACP magazines award is well deserved acknowledgement for our team.
