The talk of the town: AusCrep

The Year 11 students say AusCrep’s success thus far had not come without plenty of hard work and travelling around to find the best items.

“We are constantly heading around to shops and being active on Facebook and Marketplaces to buy new things,” Mangos said.

“It’s a lot of work but its definitely worth it!”

Mangos said the dream for the sextet was to continue evolving the business and have a range of pop-up shops in Torquay and Melbourne.

“We want to have somewhere that people can come in for a day and buy everything they want,” Mangos said.

“On top of the pop-up shop ideas, we’d like to continue to develop the Instagram platform and also make a website that makes it easy for people to buy and sell to us.

“We can’t wait to see how it keeps going.”

The boys start Year 11 studies in a fortnight but said they do not see how they could not balance their schooling with their summer success.
