We wish to extend our appreciation to Margaret and Peter for the kind support they have given us over the years. Through your support you have helped maintain our beautiful museum through donations and workmanship. Nothing was a problem. Thank you and we wish you all the best in your retirement.
📰 HAPPENING TODAY | 30 years after last stepping in to save the store next door, the Junee Co-op is doing it again! ❤️🙌 The Co-op will officially take ownership of Broadway Builders Supplies this afternoon to secure the future of the staple hardware business following the retirement of its long-time owners.
After almost six decades behind the counter, the handover marks the end of an era for Peter and Margaret Pickles, who have called time on an extraordinary chapter in the town’s history.
Arguably one of Junee’s most recognisable husband-and-wife teams, the couple — now aged 95 and 90 — have operated Broadway Builders Supplies since 1967.
They leave behind a legacy defined not just by longevity, but by their deep connection to the town and the generations of local families they served.
The changeover also marks a major expansion for the Co-op, bringing Broadway Builders Supplies under the same umbrella as IGA Junee and building on its century-long record of keeping key local services in community hands.
Broadway Builders Supplies will close its doors this afternoon for several weeks as a major reset begins behind the scenes, before reopening next month.
As part of the transition, recruitment has already begun, with the Co-op seeking customer service team members to support the operation when it reopens.
