Scoffins Clocks and Watches will operate at 87 East St in Rockhampton’s CBD.
Mr Scoffin had to find a new location with the closure of the Kern Arcade, where the business had operated for the past 18 years.
He then decided on the East St property, which has been vacant for about five years and previously housed a cash loan agency. Scoffins Clocks and Watches has moved to 87 East St, between D’s Fine Jewellery and Accessories and what was Vizes City Newsagency.
The shop is several doors up from the Oxford Hotel, between D’s Fine Jewellery and Accessories and what was Vizes City Newsagency.
Mr Scoffin said it had been a frantic couple of weeks trying to find a suitable location but he was happy with the outcome. With the move, he also plans to rebrand as CQ Clocks and Watches to save any confusion with Scoffins Clocks and Watches at Yeppoon, which is run by his parents. Rowan Scoffin is relocating his business, Scoffins Clocks and Watches, from Kern Arcade to Northside Plaza Shopping Centre. Mr Scoffin had investigated the possibility of moving into East St but said rent was too expensive. He received the contracts for the new shop this week but said it could be six weeks before he was up and running at Northside Plaza.
