newsXpress Highlands Marketplace in Mittagong NSW not what Aussies expect a newsagency to be like. There are wonderful gifts, fun gifts, offering locals shopping opportunities they are enjoying. Jenny and Craig and the team curate a wonderful selection of gifts and homewares, attracting shoppers from around the area. What’s terrific about this business is that it is perpetually evolving.
The diverse range of products are key to the success of this business in attracting shoppers outside the usual newsagency shoppers that we may think of.
For decades, the Aussie newsagency channel sold what what it was sent by suppliers. In the 1990s this really started to change, with some newsagents embracing being retailers. That transition is a challenge, and some are yet to make it in Australia.
The team at newsXpress Highlands Marketplace were early adopters and their business speaks to this and their commitment to chasing change.
