About the Business

Parkes Newsagency a traditionally presented and well run newsagency was purchased by the current owners 15 years ago. After a few short years they purchased the premises next door and with the extra space created two very large retail areas.
They are separate with two large walk - through arches. Both areas have been totally refitted with the purpose of presenting a great shopping experience. Parkes News and Gifts, an inclusive newsagency, with a new innovative community styled shopping concept was borne creating and promoting individual, family, social occasions, and other meaningful events. The offers include:
NEWSAGENCY:
• Newspapers and Magazines
• Stationery Social and Small Office Home Office S.O.H.O.
• Greeting Cards, Sweets including Darrell Lea as well as exceptional sales with the Lott- NSW
Lottery products with the most up to date the Lott fit - out.
SOCIAL AND PERSONAL PRODUCTS:
• Gifts and Homewares
• Bath, Body, Scent
• Baby
• Ladies Fashion -Huge range of trendy popular wear with adjacent change rooms and mirrors for checking the fit.
• Handbags, Shoes, and other personal accessories to mix and match.
Combining the two areas into “one” retail outlet has given the Store a department. lt has created the perfect Community Shopping experience for all ages and gender. It has that Department Store feel about it and is secure in presenting a one stop shop. The” Parkes Elvis Festival” is held each year to celebrate the music of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s Birthday, January 8. The event brings an extra 24,000 fans to Parkes every year for over a weekly period covering the date. Relating to the event one could “borrow” from the vast Elvis collection “Welcome to My World” recorded by him in 1974. With slight adaption it goes like this: “Welcome to my World, Won’t you come on in, Miracles I guess still happen now and then, Step into our store, and Leave your cares behind, Welcome to our World, Built with you in mind.”
This mature business demonstrates competence in management and staff with systems implemented for participants including Management. It is a unique business demonstrating the ability to recognize evolutionary change by reconnecting with the community with the goods and services for our times for their needs and wants.
