CTC Croydon

CTC Croydon in VIC is your typical local tobacconist, though experiences there can be a bit of a mixed bag. They’re open throughout the week from 9 in the morning until 6 at night, and they’ll even do Saturdays from 10 to 5 if you need to pop in on the weekend. Just keep in mind they’re closed on Sundays, so you’ll want to plan ahead.

The store stocks all your usual tobacconist essentials – cigarettes, rolling papers, and lighters. We’ve heard from visitors that they’ve got quite a variety of items on offer, and some reckon they can usually find exactly what they’re after. Though fair warning, there have been a few occasions where tracking down specific items has been a bit of a drama.

When it comes to service, well, it’s been a bit hit and miss lately. Some visitors rave about the friendly counter staff and good service, saying the lady behind the counter is quite nice. But we’ve also heard stories about times when things weren’t so crash hot – like one customer who had a frustrating experience trying to get some basic rolling papers, with the staff seemingly a bit lost about their stock.

For payments, you can use EFTPOS, cards, or cash, whatever suits you best. It’s a pretty straightforward setup really, just like most local shops these days. You might find it’s worth calling ahead if you’re after something specific, just to save yourself a potential wasted trip. Despite some hiccups, plenty of regulars still seem to find what they need here, and when things are running smoothly, it’s a decent enough spot for your tobacco needs.
