CLOSING DOWN SALE
I'm sorry to announce that we will be closing our Robertson store. We made it through bushfires, floods, months of road closures, Covid, and the introduction of tariffs but we can't weather the current fuel crisis. For us it means we can no longer bring books in from overseas without passing significant costs onto our customers and customers just won't accept it. The recent loss of weekend tourism, except on big weekends like Mother's Day, has resulted in a 90% downturn in trade in-store for us, and it's clear that we don't have enough week-day local support to balance that out. It's disappointing that after 10 years of trading we have to mark that anniversary by closing the store.
Over the next 4 weeks we'll be discounting lots of stock, so there'll be plenty of bargains for in-store shoppers.
We hope to reopen in another town sometime in the future, but until then, we will transition to trading online. Our book finding, estate disposal, appraisal and conservation services won't change and our contact details are the same.
It's been a hard decision to make and we'd like to thank everyone who came to Robertson and found a book in our store.
