When you walk into Toys R' Us, sure, there's a big range of toys, but I find most of them overpriced. As you walk around, you find yourself stepping over lots of toys on the ground, which is unacceptable.

PetStock provides the best animal and pet information, and a wide range of products to suit your best friend. They are the first thing that comes into my head when I need pet supplies.

The staff at SubWay provide good service and great takeaway food, at good prices. Their service is fast and efficient, which means you spend less time waiting in lines.

Approximate cost: $8

Just like their counterpart in Hamilton, Westpac Newcastle provides friendly and effecient service, and can provide financial products to tailor your situation.

Belflora provides a wide range of fresh flowers, available at fair prices. Service is pretty ordinary, sometimes takes a while to get served (even when there are employees doing nothing...).

Village Kebab provides delicious kebabs, made in a small amount of time! These kebabs have become a family favourite! It tastes more like something you'd but in a restaurant than fast-food!

Approximate cost: $10

Staff provide helpful financial services, and can recommend products to suit your financial situation. You can walk in, get done what needs to be done, and leave: no waiting in long lines or anything!
