NPC Amusements have moved to bigger and better premises in East Lismore on Rifle Range Road. As soon as you walk through those big warehouse doors you can see why owners Nick and Bec Contojohn made the move.

The building itself is five times bigger than their previous two story house on Ballina Road opposite Lismore Nissan. Not only that you immediately see the result of three months, 7 days a week work that went into the fit out which makes it one of the best Man Cave businesses in the Northern Rivers not just Lismore.

The other reason for the move "It is out of flood", Bec said.

From the eye catching epoxy concrete swirl floor at the entrance to the old rusted mini above the new office and a moving gantry this is an impressive result.

When Nick and Bec were on Ballina Road the mainstay of their business was an impressive on-line offering of anything and everything you need to fill a man cave or entertain the kids. As that building was an old two story house there was no room to display their stock so Nick and Bec had to show people the stock through their website. Now, the Rifle Range building is open there is plenty of room to park, go in and browse the well stocked shelves before you buy, and I challenge you to not buy something.

What you see in the photo is not the end of the journey as there is a further 10 metres of floor space that will be utilised in the coming months meaning more stock and more options. For pop culture fans this will be perfect for you as there will be movie memorabilia like posters, actual movie props and collectables.

To give you an impression of the range on offer NPC Amusements has over 700 different types of pool cues as well as 150 different AC/DC products as well as sporting team products, pogo sticks for the kids, quoits, hookey, in fact there is far too much for sale to mention now but suffice to say that if you are stuck for a gift for Fathers Days then look no further. "We have over 750 different product lines landing here in the next three weeks", Nick said.

The Contojohn family has been in the amusement game for over 50 years with Nicks grandfather building and selling pool tables out of the Lismore Arcade but with the progress in technology Nick and Bec have taken that on-line.

While some businesses have suffered through COVID others have thrived. "Our on-line business is up 400%", said Nick, "it is just crazy".

NPC Amusements employs 9 full time people. "We have 20 freight trucks dropping off and picking up different freight. We have a team of pickers to sort the stock then the packers pack before being dispatched"

You will find NPC Amusements at 16 Rifle Range Road, East Lismore just up from the Uni roundabout off Cynthia Wilson.

They open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm.

It is worth the short drive.
