Bulla engages Outback Stores

Janyima Store (Bulla Store), located south-west of Darwin, is under new management, the store directors have announced.

Shadrack Retchford, local store director, said the community is grateful for Outback Stores’ assistance, as the store has not operated for several years.

“We’re looking forward to working with Outback Stores. We are very excited, and the community can’t wait to have their store back up and running. It has been a long time since the store was closed”.

The past years have seen flooding during the wet season, with the community relying on food drops. The community hopes to have a long-term food security solution for its residents, with the assistance of Outback Stores.

“It makes it very easy for us to get our groceries. Our residents won’t need to travel to Timber Creek to get food. Those that have no transport will now have access to essential items within the community.”

Outback Stores has invested significant resources to get the store ready for trading, contributing $60k to procure stock and assisting the store with a further funding of over $200k to improve the store infrastructure.

We are very excited, and the community can’t wait to have their store back up and running.
