CTC Taree Chatham Plaza

CTC Taree Chatham Plaza in NSW is your local tobacconist, stocking all the usual suspects you’d expect to find: cigarettes, rolling papers, lighters, and other smoking accessories. They’re open Monday through Friday from 8 in the morning until 5:30 in the arvo, and Saturdays from 9 to 5:30, though they take Sundays off for a breather.

The shop’s been a bit of a mixed bag lately when it comes to customer service. Some visitors reckon the staff are absolutely fantastic, always up for a friendly yarn and showing genuine kindness to their regulars. One happy customer couldn’t stop raving about how respectful and helpful the team is. But fair dinkum, we’ve also heard some less pleasant experiences, with a few people mentioning recent changes in service quality and some not-so-great interactions with management.

Stock levels have been a bit touch and go recently, which has been a sticking point for some customers. A few regulars have mentioned having to pop down to other shops when they couldn’t find what they were after. It’s probably worth giving them a bell first if you’re after something specific.

For payment options, they take all the usual methods – cash, EFTPOS, and cards, so you won’t need to make a special trip to the ATM. While the shop might not be perfect, it’s still ticking along as a convenient spot for locals to grab their smoking supplies, especially if you’re already doing your shopping at Chatham Plaza. Just remember to pop in during their trading hours, and you might catch them on one of their better days when the service is top-notch and the shelves are well-stocked.
