Blackheath Newsagency owners of 11 years, whilst maintaining the all-important Home Delivery and Distribution Service, embraced this local market with enthusiasm and purpose by enlarging a specific choice for this great local and surrounding clientele of families with individual daily community styled Social Expression to suit their needs.

2. 45-75 year - olds.
In between these age groups are significant residents to make up a very well - balanced discretionary purchase area by supporting the opportunity with appropriate goods, priced to sell.
The owners, in part of innovation, introduced the selling of fresh flowers daily. The flowers are presented in front of the store, either side of the entrance.
Gifts and Cards are in the vicinity of $45k each making, with toys and other products, a combined total within the Social Expression Department of $180k p.a.
The latest The Lott image refit is fully installed which gives the new owner nothing to spend on the Front Counter image.
At the rear of the store there is a Counter representing the Bendigo Bank, open three days per week and contributing nearly $40k p. a. to the bottom line.
Stationery needs special mention, whilst current performing with Sales at $80k p.a. it is in a growth phase because the largest stationery wholesaler, in Katoomba servicing up and down the Blue Mountains area, Bennett's Stationery and Office Supplies has recently closed.
