TSG Margate

TSG Margate in QLD is your go-to local tobacconist, tucked away in a friendly shopping village that’s been serving the community for yonks. While visitors say the range isn’t the most extensive you’ll ever see, they stock all the essentials you’d expect from a tobacconist – your cigarettes, rolling papers, and various smoking accessories. What they might lack in variety, they make up for with competitive prices, with regulars noting you’ll find better deals here than at the big chain stores.

The service here is nothing short of brilliant. We’ve heard time and time again about how the staff and owner go above and beyond, always ready with a friendly g’day and happy to help you find exactly what you’re after. It’s the kind of place where you’re treated like a mate, not just another customer walking through the door.

Getting to the shop is a breeze, with heaps of parking available in the shopping centre. Sure, it might get a bit tight during peak times, especially on Thursdays when the centre’s busier than a pub on Friday arvo, but you’ll always manage to find a spot. The store keeps pretty standard hours, opening from 8am to 6pm Monday through Friday (with a late night on Thursday till 7pm), and 9am to 5pm on weekends.

They take all forms of payment – cash, card, and EFTPOS – so you won’t need to worry about making a special trip to the ATM. The store might be on the smaller side, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in convenience and friendly service. It’s perfect for when you need to duck in quickly and grab what you need without any fuss.
