NEW MITCHELL STORE NEARS COMPLETION

Southern Plumbing’s new store at Mitchell is well on the way to completion.

The shell of the store, which runs between Flemington Road and Darling Street in Mitchell, is complete and fit-out work is taking place inside. If the work continues to run to plan, the new store will be open on Monday 1st November.

The building will occupy more than 3,300 square metres of space and house another of Southern Innovations’ outstanding showrooms (facing Flemington Road) and a modern Southern Plumbing Plus trade centre (facing Darling Street). There’ll also be a large warehouse area, and office space on the upper floor, and a huge carpark accessible from Darling Street.

Southern Plumbing’s Managing Director, Warwick Beutler, said the Mitchell store development was long overdue.

“Our old store at Grimwade Street has been bursting at the seams for a number of years. The new one will not only give us additional space, but it will enable us to better service our customers and provide our staff with much better quality accommodation,” he said.

“All things being equal, we’ll set up the new store in the second half of October, and make the changeover from the old one on November 1. Our builders, Manteena, have done a fantastic job with the construction, and are confident we can achieve the November start date.”

Customers will experience a similar feel to the company’s headquarters in Fyshwick. The showroom will feature a large array of exclusive products from the likes of Villeroy & Boch, Rogerseller, Grohe and Marquis, while the trade centre will have large displays of environmental, irrigation and plumbing products.
