Celebrity Customers

Some may envy people who manage or serve celebrities. In reality, celebrities are just ordinary people who have made a name through unique talents or hard work. One of our customer who

Ryan Kwanten was shopping with his mum during his Christmas break from acting. Trust me not to recognise a movie star when I meet one. It was a pity, no one, including those who knew asked for his autograph. Ryan began his career in the northern beaches as a surfer and was spotted by movie headhunters who recruited him for the TV and subsequently the big screen.

Ian Thorpe, former Australian freestyle swimming Olympic champion, does not make personal appearances, understandably. His managers would pick up stuff they think he would like, after consulting our sales assistants who sometimes place special orders for extraordinary customers. It's sad to read reports that Thorpe who had so much going for him at such a young decided to retire and his venture to Hollywood. The controversy over the sports council's anti-doping tests was eventually closed in his favour. Thorpe continues to help charitable causes, such as children of aboriginal backgrounds.
