These guys don't try to oversell you, they give you lots of options and are quite happy to fit the most economical tyre. I don't know their names but the faces are familiar so they have experienced long term staff and that's a good sign.

Went to the movies on a Sunday as was very surprised that the tickets were only $8.00 - sweet. Then very happy to find how comfortable their cinema is in terms of leg space and seating, with chairs that flex back. Really clean/new facilities, good quality picture and sound, made the experience very enjoyable.

Firstly, I'm a bloke! But I still like a good haircut. This is a busy salon in Frankston that I've been going to for many years. Very friendly and professional staff. Typically a good head rub/wash followed by a stylish cut (with a coffee and bickie as well). My wife is typically happy!

I have purchased several bikes from this store, for myself (a road bike and a hybrid mountain bike) as well as mountain bikes for my kids. They have a decent range, good advice, keen pricing and have a team on hand to service your bike if required.
