Shop moves after 32 years

A women's fashion shop in Umina has moved after 32 years in the one location.

Jodi of Umina, which claims to be the second oldest business under one owner in Umina, recently moved when a newer, corner store on the main street became available.

The new shop is air conditioned, has more room and better exposure to the public.

It previously housed Selvitex Menswear.

"Even though we've moved, we still have the same staff, personal service and a variety of ladies clothing to suit all ages," said proprietor Olga Arkell.

Olga's last few days of trading were not all smooth sailing however.

An advertising printing error changed "nothing over $50" to "nothing over $5".

The newspaper concerned printed the correct advertisement at no charge on the next day, but would not print an apology or correction statement.

The damage had been done however and potential customers were disappointed to find that they could not purchase items at the advertised price.
