1. Can you tell us a little about your shop or service and what inspired you to join the team?
We are both incredibly passionate about streetwear, footwear and making our customers feel confident in their fit!

2. How long have you worked here and what do you enjoy most about the centre?
Taylor: This November will be my 5-year anniversary since opening the store! I love being outside and having a yarn with everyone walking past.
Jaime: I recently celebrated my 3-year anniversary in store. I love having our own space outside and creating fun vibes in store with our music!
We also love the relationships we’ve built with other tenants and being able to thrive as a streetwear store on Macquarie Street.

3. What products or services do you offer and what makes them unique?
We are a streetwear fashion store that loves taking our customers on the journey of all the latest fashion trends. As an added bonus, we're one of the only retailers in town with all the current hot trends!

4. What are your current favourite products in store?
ASICS Gel NYC and Adidas Gazelle Indoor. We're especially passionate about our ASICS range, which will continue to expand throughout FY27.

5. What is the best part of your job?
Probably the environment we've created within our team. No two days are the same, and we always have the opportunity to uplift each other and spread positivity.

6. Do you think your store makes customers' lives easier? If so, tell us how.
We always aim to provide our best knowledge and customer service to the people of Dubbo and surrounding areas. We may not have a foot measurer, but we always strive to fit our customers to the best of our ability in the latest trends.

7. Do you have local customers you know by name or like to have a chat with?
Rita – if you see this, you're a real one! She's one of our favourite customers to chat to and regularly brings us snacks to help us get through the day. Thank you, Rita, for being so kind!

8. What's the funniest thing that's happened in store?
We once had a customer ask if they could buy just one replacement shoe because their dog had eaten the other one! 😂

9. Do you have a favourite time of year in the centre and if so, why?
July! That's when we start receiving fresh new stock for FY27, and there's some really exciting product flowing through this year.

10. Just for fun – what's something people might not know about you?
We both LOVE Pokémon cards, Roblox and watching new TV series!
