Proud to be local

THANKS Ocean Grove, for your continuous support of shopping local. Every single time someone chooses a card for someone special, picks up a unique gift, or hunts for that perfect jigsaw at NewsXpress Ocean Grove, they are making a choice that shapes this beautiful coastal town.

In a world dominated by online algorithms and giant corporate chains, deciding to shop locally is a powerful way to keep community spirit alive and kicking.

After 18 years, Clint, Cathy and family are incredibly proud to be part of the local community and love seeing friendly faces through the doors of NewsXpress Ocean Grove.

This community has helped raise their five children, and many customers still ask about their latest adventures.

Over the years, NewsXpress Ocean Grove has intentionally grown into something far beyond a traditional newsagency. It is a little eclectic, with products forming a constantly changing, curated mix.

While daily essentials are always covered, plenty of time is spent hunting down unique gifts, quirky greeting cards and treasures that won’t be found everywhere else.

The hope is that the shop remains a place of discovery, where people can wander in, have a chat and hopefully always walk out with a smile – and perhaps even help complete the community jigsaw.

When customers spend their hard-earned dollars at NewsXpress Ocean Grove, that money stays right here in Ocean Grove.

It helps NewsXpress Ocean Grove directly support local schools, sports clubs and many local charities. It also allows the employment of local staff, and the business has been fortunate to have incredible team members over the years.

Beyond the economics, shopping local is truly about human connection. It’s about the familiar faces greeting customers at the counter, the quick catch-ups on the sidewalk and the shared pride the community has in this incredible town.

Ocean Grove’s unique character relies entirely on the deliberate choices of locals. By supporting small, independent businesses, residents help ensure the town keeps its vibrant personality.

This is why NewsXpress Ocean Grove is supporting the Ocean Grove Business Association’s Winter in the Grove promotion.

So keep shopping local and fingers crossed you are one of the lucky winners.

Clint, Cathy and family are incredibly grateful for the immense loyalty, laughs and trust they have received over the years. Thanks for keeping it local.
