This week has seen the opening of the new Betta Store at 165 Lachlan Street, Forbes. With over six and a half times
the floor space of the old store, which was just across the road, the new store now not only includes electrical and whitegoods, but bedding, unique furniture and Christmas decorations.
Ian Westcott said, “After many conversations with our local customers here in Forbes requesting us to stock furniture and bedding, we decided that the time was right to expand our store and offer the Forbes community and district a ‘betta’ offering in electrical and whitegoods as well. This is the only shop of it’s kind located in Forbes and it shows our commitment and investment to the community.”
Ian and Mandy Westcott, first invested in the Forbes business community when they purchased the store in Lachlan Street, on lst July 2002. Now, some 14 years later, they have made the move across the street into bigger and brighter premises, located on the corner of Brown’s Lane and Lachlan Street, in the old Bernardi’s supermarket
building.
“Come 2017 we will have an even wider range of goods with a full range of entry and high end cooking appliances displayed as built in cooking displays. We will be featuring cooking launches, guest chefs, vip nights and as always, we continue to deliver to all areas”, Ian said. With the expansion into the new premises Ian and his team are on the lookout for new staff as well.
Mandy has spent quite a few months buying the furniture and bedding ranges, which cater for every room in the house as well as outdoor furniture to cater to everybody’s budget. New stock will be arriving all the time and of course, special orders can be sourced for the discerning customer. Ian wanted to thank his wonderful staff who have worked so incredibly hard to pull this together, as well as suppliers, tradesmen and the people of Forbes who have
been so supportive.
Make sure you drop in and see them, and with all sorts of finance offers available to customers, this is the place to go
for your Christmas shopping. Go Local,
That’s Betta!
