One of Lismore's long-established businesses, Bolt Barn, has been the subject of confusion since the for-sale sign went up at the building at 183 Union Street.

A number of people, including tradespeople, mistakenly thought that the Bolt Barn business was closing along with the sale of the property.

This is definitely NOT the case. Bolt Barn has been a constant sight in South Lismore for many years and will be for many more years to come, according to new manager Ash Waring.

Ash Waring's surname is familiar to everyone who has done business with Bolt Barn since 1991, as he is the son of former owners Chris and Linda Waring.

“I’m looking forward to meeting our loyal customers and hoping to see some new ones," Ash said.

"The Bolt Barn is a great business with great people working in it. We’re looking forward to continuing to offer our service and selling quality Bolts, of course, as well as specialty fasteners, tools and general associated gear you may need.”

"If you haven’t shopped with us at all, or not for a while, I encourage you to come and see us and the range we offer. We’re backed by the Construction Supply Specialists buying group, which gives us access to almost anything available in the industry at competitive prices.

"If we don’t stock it at our Lismore or Grafton branches, we can get it for you."

When the building does sell, Bolt Barn is committed to Lismore and will continue to service the community and its businesses as normal.

Bolt Barn is open Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm.
