newsXpress has been approached to open newsagencies in three more shopping centres, two in Victoria (suburban) and one in New South Wales (suburban). These greenfield locations are ideal for people looking to buy a newsagency. We can facilitate the lease, shop design, shopfit and a starter range of stock.
Staring a newsagency from scratch can work more effectively than buying a newsagency with goodwill.
To find out more, please make contact with us through our website.
