Mike,
It'll be very similar to Capalaba initially. It'll carry a lot more sailing gear, probably a little less electronics and more basics that every chandlery needs, hoses, ropes, screws and fittings etc etc
Love to hear any feedback on what customers want more of as well.

Gee that was a while ago. Glasscraft was my number 1 chandler.Originally Posted by Mike Delisser
Dan and they guys from Boating and RV are doing an awesome job (I think I know dan) and getting in and supporting the sailing scene. Just a shame they didn't take the Virginia store!!! Us northsiders are neglected!!
Dan, I can't say that I was ever all that impressed with the service from the Townsville store. I mainly went there as it had a reasonable range of products. My preference was Akwa and recently RTM. Both these stores have very friendly, helpful staff. Good luck with the venture.

Has the Virginia BIAS outlet closed its doors?

LITTLE SKIPPER!
Yep, had a look on Saturday - empty. No sign that it is re-opening at this stage.
Guys the Virginia store was unfortunately not a viable store for us at this point.
Alchemy I'm sorry to hear that of the Townsville store.
I'm one of the new owners of that store and will be moving up there and running the store personally from the point of reopening.
Give me a few weeks and I'm sure things will change for the better.
Dan
look forward to meeting you then
IF IT CAN'T EAT A WHOLE PILLY I DON'T WANT IT
So that leaves us northern suburbs peoples with Whittworth's in Albion and Northside Marin, any others I don't know about? I used to buy from Virginia quite regularly.
Witworths has move BTW. Not on Sandgate Road any more.
But, northside you have whitworths, BCF, northside marine, Freddies, scarborough harbour marine, cunninghams and no doubt I have missed a few. Out of all them, the real chandlers are whitworths and scarbourough harbour marine. The rest have a small range of chandlery but you can usually find what you need between the lot of them.
There is also a RTM at Lawnton.
A few i had not heard of there
Dan, I'm pleased to read there will be an owner/manager in town. I look forward to checking out your store and giving it a go once you're up and running. What's your estimated opening date?
Regards,
Dave.
Dave,
We were aiming for Saturday 11/10 but it'll more likely be sometime during the week of the 14th at this point.
Dan
