COVID-19 has claimed another business victim with the Staunch Outdoor Adventure Centre closing its doors at 5pm today.

Owner Jeff Davey said stock availability from their supplier Kings has made it impossible to keep the business on Ballina Road open.

Jeff and his brother Russell only moved to the new premises on Ballina Road in October from their South Lismore location.

It wasn't the restrictions that were placed upon us by the NSW Government but lack of stock supply which ultimately came from China. No stock meant no cashflow as people wanted camping items now not in a few months.

"Everything was looking good after we moved here, the business was on the up then COVID hit and we asked ourselves what's going to happen and that's when the stock dried up", Jeff said. "I was standing here for up to five hours a day constantly saying to people "no sorry we can't get it or don't know when it is coming".

"Things went ballistic when the restrictions eased on July 1", Jeff said. "But I still couldn't get Big Daddy swags, I still couldn't get Rooftop Tents, I still couldn't get gazebos, in fact I still can't get gazebos and these are my quickest movers".

"When the stock did finally arrive it was gone as soon as it hit the floor".

While the doors will be closed Jeff will be in the building tidying up the rest of the floor stock with some going back to the supplier and the rest being sold to the public.

"Whatever is in stock I'll sell", Jeff mentioned - so get on the phone quickly (02) 6622 2561.
