This is the final day of trade here at The Yamba Photo Store. It is the end of a 17 year journey. We have been delighted to be a part of the Yamba and Clarence Valley business community. It really has been wonderful. We had made plans for this occasion before the world came under the cloud of an apocalyptic pandemic. It may well have forced our hand anyway but it was good that the final decision was ours. Our hearts go out to all of the businesses in the Valley and everywhere really, and hope you can all survive in your own way. I am sure many will come back stronger than ever over time. While the photography side of the business will cease we are pleased that something new is coming which will include LEGO in its product range. There may be a few scanning/printing photo jobs I can assist so please direct to [email protected]. Thank you to the lovely humans who have worked with over the years. Thank you to each of you. Deb and Jenny, who have helped us to the finish line, and those who helped make this a great little business along the way, including Shannon, Jess, Jarrason, Kara, Pixie, Katrina, Vicki, Fran, Jeremy, Ingrid, Chris and Jillian.
Hannah and Sam have put up with me over the last 5 or 6 years and greatly helped us manage our way through numerous ups and downs of life and trade. Thank you to our customers who have made this all possible. Regulars, who have been coming here since we opened, thank you. We have made many friends along the way, which has made it all the more a better journey. We won’t be leaving the Valley in the near future, but like everyone else will be doing, we will be living a very quiet life at home until these times pass.
Thanks and love from Dave, and of course Tania, Sam and Han too xx
