Congratulations to Forest Hill, Sugarland, Garden City, Indooroopilly, Castle Towers, Robina, and Nambour Plaza who, in that order, are the top performing newsXpress outlets for Lovatts titles. Well done to the all team members in these stores who have contributed to such an exceptional result for the stores and for our group as a whole. You’ve done the newsXpress brand proud!
What is even better is that newsXpress accounted for seven of the top sixteen newsagency outlets for Lovatts product. Newspower had five, Nextra three and one was unaligned to a marketing group.
