Changes afoot as shoe shop crosses the road

After two years at 91 Magellan Street, Shoes on Magellan owner Melinda Turner is moving across the road - a hop, skip and jump away - to number 92.


While she said she’s been happy at that location, right now, her store room is “chock-a-block with stock.”


“Soon it’s going to be hot and I’ll need somewhere to put all my summer shoes,” Melinda said. “I’ve got nowhere to put them, so I’m moving across the street to another bigger shop with a storeroom."

“I’m sad to be leaving here, but I’m hoping someone else takes it on. It has an awesome view out the window and people come visiting."


Melinda hopes the current shop’s easy no-lease agreement will entice a new tenant quickly.


“It’s a week to week rent payment here, with no commitment and no bond,” she said. “There must be other entrepreneurs in town – like market stall people who just want to set up shop.


“You’ve got a key and everything is how you left it for the next morning. It’s good for people who might want to transition from markets to a shop.


“Anyone interested can contact real estate agent Andrew Gordon.”


Melinda’s new shop is already being painted, builders are contracted – and family is helping her move in this weekend. She plans to open the shop on Monday.


“But I intent to close again on Tuesday for two weeks,” she said. “I have my new shoe collection coming in and have to sell it all over Australia.

“I have sensitive feet and so do lots of other lots of people,” she said. “I go for soft leathers and shoes with technology that make them comfortable and stylish.


“I’ll officially open the shop again on August 17.”
