Home Hill News & Coffee All Set For Return To School

Shay Linton, owner of Home Hill News & Coffee, is set for the back-to-school rush that invariably comes this time of year. With preparations in place, they cater for all the local Burdekin schools by providing book lists and stocking necessary school uniforms and supplies.

They anticipate serving many families in the coming weeks, all who are looking for school uniforms and other supplies. Additionally, they offer non-school related book items also.

“We've had Christmas, and now we're gearing up for the kids to go back to school. It will be a hectic couple of weeks for us, and for parents. We’ll easily have a couple of hundred parents and kids come into the shop for their return to school purchases but we’ve got them all covered.”

“We can do book lists for the schools, where all you need to do is to drop your book lists in and we'll prepare them for you. We also have school uniforms for Home Hill State High and Home Hill Primary, which they can try on or order here. We're also going to have striking new backpacks and lunch boxes coming and cool new book covers for them to cover their books with.”

“And for parents waiting for their kids to choose, with a coffee shop here means they can have a relaxing coffee or tea,” she smiles.

If that wasn’t enough, there’s also the extra incentive to pop in and visit Home Hills News & Coffee, because they’ll be holding a prize draw as Shay explains.

“Home Hill News & Coffee will be offering a ‘Shop local’ incentive, which includes a prize draw for everyone who purchases school supplies from us. We have a $200 gift voucher for 1st prize, $100 for second, and $50 for third. The draw will take place on the morning of the 28th of January, right in time for the first day of school.”

“We'd like everyone to think local, shop local, and support local,” Shay expresses.

With that in mind, visit Home Hill News & Coffee for all your back-to-school needs, enter their draw, and be sure to grab yourself a coffee.
