We are a vendor at Amy's Antique and Flea Mall, retailers and locators of the best of antiques, vintage home decor, and collectibles for the home and more.
Hi, my name is Randall Coven, I'm the owner of Home Etc at Palito. We specialise particularly in kitchenware and tableware with a particular emphasis on offering value for money, all in good taste, backed by strong personal service from the stock. We're a major distributor of Maxwell Williams, which is an Australian brand, and recently we have introduced for the first time to our store some linen, and we have Egyptian cotton with 300 thread counts and also easy care linen, aimed specifically at the bed and breakfast market. We source a lot of product out of Holland. At Drinkware, for example, we bring in from Europe, from Turkey and from Spain, but we have a continual promotional programme which offers discounted offers on things And as you can see in most of the cases, indoor greenery is very end at the moment, anything that looks We offer free gift wrap service for people who buy gifts from us. Our business philosophy is to offer good value, good design, backed by good service, and our staff receive many compliments on the service level that they offer. In terms of being in lifestyle centre, the closeness we have in terms of the management, the owners also have retail shops. They are fully aware of the needs and problems that retailers have when they are operating in a centre One of the things that is attractive about the lifestyle centre is that it's not a clone of the major regional centres which are all the same and have all the chains. Over here we have a variety of stores that are owner managed and offer a different offering to what there is out there in the market. For us it's an ideal spot because we are right next to the entrance to Woolworths and there's quite a lot of cross buying. I see people going to Woolworths come out and come into our store because it's a really close by. The fact that we have open parking and people can get near to where they want to shop is also a big plus that they don't have to go up and down escalators or wait for lifts. They park, walk 20-30 metres and they are shopping where they want to shop.
