“Our growth plans are off to a solid start and we have already opened two new stores in FY19 in Burpengary and Clifford Gardens. We have another new store opening soon in Flagstone, which is an especially exciting opportunity where we will be piloting a new form of market representation to capture the rapid residential and commercial growth in the area,” added Mr Symond.
Aussie Flagstone initially opened in a display village and will relocate to a retail premises once the commercial infrastructure in the area is developed and a retail site becomes available.
