Richard Miles

Barossa unearthed

Richard Miles

Newsagency, deli, paper round delivery, seafood seller, purveyor of old-school local quality fruit and vegetables, bread, pies, cards, cigarettes, gifts and at its utmost – a place where you are known! 

 

How to define Richard’s newsagency is definitely not straightforward. It’s an institution on Angaston’s main street. A place where locals come for the staple items a newsagency provides, but also to pick up something from the eclectic mix that Richard has on offer. 

 

Mostly though, Miles’ Newsagency feels like a place where you are known, and time for a chat is always given priority. No doubt you’ll run into someone else you know, and likewise, catch up.

 

Richard’s newsagency is a valuable gem, and it is unfortunate that such establishments are becoming less prevalent. They represent a harmonious blend of genuine customer service, community care and engagement.
