You will find information on newsagents under this heading in Yellow™.
A newsagent is an individual or shop that sells newspapers, magazines, and other news related literature. In addition to news related literature, a newsagent also sells stationary, greeting cards, and other writing materials. If the newsagent is in the retail business, then walk-in customers are the end users of the news material. Yellow™ contains a comprehensive list of newsagents across Australia.
Most newsagencies have a wide variety of magazines and other reading materials. A good newsagency has most newspapers from interstate and overseas, and is never out of stock. Many newsagencies run a local post office and operate lotteries. The timings for most newsagents are from 6 in the morning to 6 or 7 in the evening. There are many jobs available with the newsagencies and the qualification is not a limiting factor. You must have some experience in retail sales to start up as a newsagent. However, freshers too can fit the bill if they are ready to learn quickly.
Another form of a newsagency is the distribution newsagency. As the name suggests, the newsagency offers home delivery of the newspapers and magazines. News stalls are smaller versions of the retail outlets. These news stalls are generally found in crowded areas. If you are planning to start a newsagency, whether small or big, you must have a business plan in place.
