The place to be for Beanie Bears

By Dion Teasdale
LOCK Stock and Barrel is a unique store offering an extensive range of stock from gift and homewares to stationery, craft supplies and tools.
And we mustn’t forget the huge range of Beanie Bears.
Located in the heart of Woori Yallock, the store was opened in early December last year by qualified accountant, Karen Capp.
With a reputation for offering quality customer service and huge range of products, the shop has become an important part of the local retail scene.
“I opened the shop nearly 12 months ago because I wanted to expand my career into the retail industry while still practicing accounting,” Karen said.
“In the time we’ve been here we’ve been strongly supported by the community and other businesses and feel like we are now part of the local scene.”
The shop combines a large range of craft and art supplies, including paints, scrapbooking materials, stationery, stickers and beading, with giftware including toys, tools and kitchenware.
“We’ve also got a large Christmas range coming, we’ve got a huge stock of Beanie Bears, lay bys are welcome and we have 10 stacker CD jukeboxes for sale and hire,” Karen said.
“The shop is really a place to find something special as a gift or something unique for your own home. If we don’t have what people are looking for we are only too happy to get it in.”
Joining Karen in the shop are two part time sales assistants, Michelle Thomas and Michael, who pride themselves on offering friendly, personal service.
