Well, handover is complete - Goodbye from Chris and I and welcome to the new owners.
Can you believe it, we opened our doors for the first time as a typical newsagent of the time, almost 16 years ago? We were one of the first specialty shops to open at Riverside Plaza. Things were slow in the beginning but that changed quickly as the other specialty shops filled and South Shepparton grew. Our range of quality giftware quickly expanded and we finally got our Tatts licence after 5 years, rebranding at the same time to newsxpress. Over the next 10+ years we extended the shop, added a larger range of cards, more giftware, our Charlie Bears collection and created our website inspiregifts.com.au
We want to thank all our staff past & present for helping us to create the store that it is today - we think of you as family and couldn’t have done it without you.
To each and every single customer that has walked through our doors over the past 16 years, we want to thank you for your loyalty and support. Whether it was a simple daily chat, trying to solve the issues of the world or sharing laughter and tears with you as we all journeyed through the highs and lows of life, this is what made opening our doors each day both a pleasure and honour.
For us now it’s time to slow down, and enjoy having time to spend with family and friends - and perhaps throw in a bit of travel😃
See you around - Chris & Janette🩷
