Thanks for your Support in 2009!

Thanks for your Support in 2009! If there was ever a time to adopt a simpler life, without all the extra trappings and excess, this year was certainly that for many of us.  The financial restraints that have become common place all around have added lots of challenges and changes in almost every country and made us all take stock of our own personal circumstances in order to ride out the worst of the financial crisis. 

In 2009 Flannerys pulled out all stops to add extra value for our loyal customers, and deliver best value and best quality in the products we sell to you. We’ll continue to introduce new choices so you will have a wider range of goodies to enjoy.  We have also worked with many small producers and new or emerging brands to assist them to find a place in the market.

We are just so lucky that we have this magnificent country to enjoy - and the more companies like Flannerys, and caring consumers like you, support the natural and organic products industry, the longer it will stay that way.

For those who are travelling this festive season please be careful on the roads - have a safe journey and a wonderful holiday. On behalf of all the staff at Flannerys, we would like to extend our warmest wishes for a safe and happy Christmas, and together we'll look forward to a much brighter New Year and beyond in 2010.

Gwinganna Prize goes to a very deserving Winner!

Gwinganna Prize goes to a very deserving Winner!

We are thrilled to announce the winner of our Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat Spa Weekend for two valued at $1660.

Justin Holyoake from Reedy Creek was the lucky winner and what a deserving winner he is.

A self-employed landscape designer, Justin is a single dad who has the responsibility of raising his young son fulltime.

When accepting the prize he told us that he had an operation a few months ago, and must have another soon, and to quote him: “it’s my birthday this week and so far all I’ve had to look forward to are more doctor’s bills – winning this prize has made my year!”

Obviously Justin cares very much about ensuring the very best in healthy food, and a healthy environment for his son (and himself) – he shops with us twice weekly!

Congratulations and Happy Birthday Justin – we hope you and a special other enjoy this fabulous prize as much as we’ve enjoyed giving it to you.

Tony and team at Flannerys Robina
