When an opportunity to buy an estate jewellery and collectables store presented itself 45 years ago, George Magasic couldn’t say no.
He has happily bought, sold and traded jewellery, antiques and collectibles since.
George said he had planned to buy a taxi, but as he was looking through the classified section of a Sydney newspaper, he came across an estate jewellery business for sale in Pitt St, Sydney.
“I remember the day, it was the 10th of May 1979 and I was going t o be a taxi driver,” George said.
“The store cost the same as a taxi and I thought why not. I’ve had a fantastic 45 years in the business ever since.”
After 22 years of trading in Sydney George and his family moved to Noosa for the lifestyle and have been located in Noosa Junction ever since.
“The Junction is such an exciting and vibrant place to be now,” George said.
“It’s also easy to get around, especially for our elderly residents, including my mum Mary who is 97 years old.
“She enjoys walking around on her pusher and visits all the shops. She always blazes a trail from IGA to Coles as well as doing the loop around the Junction.
“She says everyone is so friendly and people are always ready to give her help when she needs it.
“Please come and visit our store. After 22 years it is chock-a-block.”
