I dont know why the first commentor would say that about the two ladies that work at Anew! They are honestly the gentlest ladies ever! I know they occasionaly check bags, because there is normally one assistant in the store, they cant really run after someone and just leave the store.
I'm sure being dragged back by the bag is a complete lie, security or someone would have noticed and bought it up with centre management (looks a bit hard to drag her back); Just standing up for my faves.
Its a favourite with all the ladies there! It's just about always frequented by cute elderly couples looking for new nick-nacks.
I personally like this store a lot better than their Sunnybank store. I feel like the manager here has really got a feel for the redbank area. She's genuinely one of the sweetest ladies I know, but she does keep on her toes when there's teens in their little gangs around, just because the store had previous thefts etc all by them. Dont take it personally.
The area is not as rich as Brisbane, hence it satisfies the demographic there. People who want practical/ pretty things without exuberant price tags.
They try to fit as much as they can into the store, which saves time going to four different places to look for things. The displays are a lot nicer than their Sunnybank and Australia fair stores, but obviously no Myer Christmas window.
I can vouch that you'll find the best service in redbank plaza there! They stock maxwell Williams, salt and pepper and chests of cutlery, and betty does awesome flower arrangements! The ladies there are always friendly and try to help you find what you're looking for or ordering it in for you ( from their impressive list of suppliers).
It's the only store in redbank that makes shopping special, all the other stores are part of chains. It's a bit of a trek from Brisbane, but worth it!
