IT'S A MEN'S UNDERWEAR KINDA, FAMILY
One of the most enjoyable and rewarding parts of our business is meeting and dealing with our resellers. In most cases, there is a lot of history involved in the independent stores we visit. Generations of families in a lot of cases that have owned their store for decades, particularly in the regional areas of the country. Quickly we are gathering some momentum with Men’s Underwear resellers throughout Australia. We are already establishing a diverse base of stores that include stand-alone Menswear stores, Surf stores & Men’s Emporiums. Our plan is to service all parts of Australia so that we can all “SHOP LOCAL” for the Best Men’s Underwear in the country.
One of our recent stores “Stewart’s Menswear” is located in the beautiful town of Mullumbimby. Mullumbimby is in the Byron Shire of the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales. It promotes itself as "The Biggest Little Town in Australia". The town lies at the foot of Mount Chincogan in the Brunswick Valley about 9 kilometres by road from the coast.
If you haven’t been to Mullumbimby, do yourself a favour and take a visit it’s definitely worth it. If you arrive on a Friday you will get to enjoy the famous Mullumbimby Farmers Market which is situated at the back of the showground, certainly one of our favourites. Enjoy a spot of shopping at the many speciality retailers and local businesses, and discover a bargain at the op shops, antique and collectable shops. If you are into health food shops there are plenty to choose from.
Check out the many murals painted by local artists: Car Park Toilet Block, Laneway South, Laneway North, Mullumbimby Museum shed, Mullumbimby Community Garden, Mullumbimby Rural Co-op, Ray Towers Carpets rear, and Byron Food Hub.
Or simply take a seat and watch the world go by and be entertained by the local colourful characters going about their daily business.
Most importantly drop in and say ‘hi’ to Gerard and Sue who are the owners/managers of Stewart’s Menswear, they have a great range of products and best of all they will be able to top up your “undies drawer” with a heap of Reer Endz men’s underwear.
