As a family we moved from Perth to Pemberton in early 2010 and purchased the Pemberton General Store at 52 Brockman Street almost a year later. The store at that time stocked a small selection of groceries, drinks, snacks, DVD hire, giftware, fishing gear and gumboots.

 

Our first addition was a coffee machine which from the start led to us delivering the best takeaway coffee in Pemberton as we are often told! The second add on was taking over the stock from the local hardware store which was closing its doors. Since then, we have continued to add on items that locals and visitors alike require. This however soon meant our store was no longer able to adequately display all our stock.

 

The next step seemed obvious, start planning a purpose-built store. The first step was to purchase the perfect location at 66 Brockman Street. Due to building timeframes blowing out we had to temporarily move to the old Millhouse Café building. This momentous move took 28 days with about half of our stock being stored at our home address. By all accounts it was much quieter at the other end of town, which made us confident in our choice of location for the new shop.

 

Our final move to the new shop saw us opening our doors for trading on Wednesday 7th August 2019.  As with most new builds we had some initial teething problems, but we have always and continue to provide excellent service, awesome selection, local experience and willingness to source items where possible.

 

We thank all the locals and visitors who have supported us from the beginning and continue to support us.
