What to do Cup Day?
The event attracts between 15,000-20,000 people per year. which leaves a lot of people with a day off work and not at the cup.
Not everyone can go to the Geelong Cup so often they start Christmas shopping many do hit the shops and it is the reason we are open. Mums and dads can drop into the warehouse together without kids and see the display and have a chat about what their kids do on the trampoline, what sports they participate in and how social they are as a family to help us to determine what size, shape and brand is best for them. When budget and space are tight we can still assit in determining which shape and size within the the parameters are best and at least give some good pros and cons to go away with.
We are flexible
Layby can be set up for holding stock in your name and also allows for grandparents and other family to log in and also do some payments off the trampoline too.
We offer Zip pay too and that has 3 months interest free before it goes to 23% interest.
Or you can pay on the day and take it away. Maybe to hide it at a friends or neighbours until Christmas.
However you wish to do it, we are willing to assit you in factilitating your Christmas surprise.
Open Hours until Christmas
Open every day until Christmas now. Monday - Friday 9-5:30pm Saturdays 9-3pm and Sunday 10-3pm
If you have any questions before or after feel free to call us on 03 52921100, use the Chat feature on the website or email
