Tosh’s: Locals’ Favourite For Everyday Convenience!

Tosh’s Convenience Store, located in the heart of the Burdekin, has grown from a humble shop into a bustling mini supermarket that’s become a vital part of the community. The store's owner, Peta Wassmuth, was motivated by a desire to work independently, leading to the decision to take over and revitalise the store.

One of the key changes implemented under the new ownership has been the introduction of in-store promotions, which have not only enhanced the shopping experience but also fostered a strong sense of community engagement. From giveaways like mini bar fridges to Father’s Day hampers, these promotions have added excitement for customers, encouraging them to return and participate. The latest promotion offers a chance to win a V duffel bag and outfit with the purchase of two V products, keeping the momentum going.

What truly sets Tosh’s Convenience Store apart from others in the area is the extensive range of products it offers. Unlike many convenience stores, Tosh’s functions as a mini supermarket, stocking everything you would expect to find in a larger grocery store. Customers can find a wide variety of items, including groceries, Lotto tickets, drinks, and hot food, making it a convenient one-stop shop for the local community.

The product selection at Tosh’s Convenience Store is driven by customer feedback. Peta listens closely to what customers want and makes sure those items are available. This customer-centric approach has helped the store remain relevant and responsive to the needs of the local community.

Tosh’s Convenience Store is also deeply committed to giving back to the community. One of the ways it does this is by offering free coffees to emergency service personnel, a gesture of gratitude for their hard work. The store is also planning to extend special deals to hospital staff and continues to offer in-store hampers, ensuring that the community feels supported and valued.

One of the most memorable moments for Peta is the joy of informing customers that they’ve won a prize, highlighting the positive impact the store has on its customers. Looking ahead, Tosh’s Convenience Store has plans to expand its offerings, including the introduction of a fish and chips service. This addition will further strengthen the store’s role as a key provider in the community, ensuring it continues to meet the needs of its customers.

Tosh’s Convenience Store is more than just a place to buy goods—it’s a cornerstone of the Burdekin community, providing essential services with a personal touch and a steadfast commitment to customer satisfaction.
