Officeworks has opened its new Albion Park Rail store on the NSW South Coast, with a new tech layout ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Week shopping.
Recognising demand within the growing Macquarie Valley, the new 1,800 square metre Albion Park joins Officeworks Fairy Meadow and Nowra on the South Coast to be the retailer’s 52nd store in NSW and 169th store nationwide.
The store has created 30 new jobs in the local community and to support local students and equitable access to educational resources, the store team chose to donate $1,000 cash and $1,000 of Officeworks vouchers to local Balarang Public School and Clontarf Academy Kanahooka and Lake Illawarra.

We can’t wait to help make bigger things happen for our local schools and businesses and to help inspire and support their working, learning and creating needs.
“We are thrilled to stock a huge range of technology in our new department layout as well as art supplies, furniture and education resources, and offer expert advice and helpful services such as Print and Create. We also have our People and Planet product range and e-waste and recycling facilities on site to support our customers to shop more sustainably.”
