Rising from the ashes

terrigal.jpgAndrew and Cathy Strachan lost their newsagency in Terrigal a few months ago when an arsonist started a fire in the lane out the back which burnt down their premises and that of a bottle shop next door.  Yesterday, their newsXpress Terrigal store reopened in a new store built with the help of friends, colleagues and (most) suppliers.  The Express Advocate has more on this story.  the reopening is a good story of how to put together a professional looking shop for a fraction of the usual shop fit budget.  It is also a story of how rise from adversity to trade another day.

The newsagency channel is full of good stories like this and it is good to see the local newspaper get behind Andrew and Cathy to tell their story.
