Officeworks has opened its largest store on the Gold Coast in Robina, joining the West Burleigh, Nerang and Southport stores which service Queensland’s south-east.
The new store will help create 68 new local jobs and will stock over 21,000 products in-store.
To celebrate the store opening, Robina residents and surrounding communities were invited to visit the new store at the Robina Home & Life Centre on Saturday for a Community Fun Day to enjoy free activities such as giant Jenga and Connect Four, arts & crafts, lots of giveaways and complimentary coffee.
Officeworks Robina store business manager, Sam Uithol said,“Our team is looking forward to connecting and building relationships with our local community. At Officeworks, we offer so much more than just stationery. We are ready to help local Gold Coast businesses start, run and grow with the latest in tech, as well as help make bigger things happen for local students, teachers, schools and the planet.
“We stock a huge range of technology, art supplies, furniture and education resources and offer expert advice and helpful services such as Print and Copy and on-site tech support in Geeks2U. We also have a range of Greener Choices products and e-waste and recycling facilities on site to support our customers to shop more sustainably.”
From 2025, the Robina store will be powered by renewable energy as part of Officeworks’ recent partnership with Queensland government-owned renewables, low-emissions and hydro company, CleanCo.
The Robina store uses 100% LED lights which feature low wattage and reduce energy consumption. Solar panels are due to be installed on the roof to help power the store with renewable energy and an e-waste recycling unit will be available to customers to recycle their unwanted or broken tech items.
