Woodvale News and Tobacconist

Woodvale News & Tobacconist in Woodvale, Western Australia, is your typical local tobacco shop that’s also got a newsagency twist to it. They’ve got the usual suspects you’d expect to find: cigarettes, rolling papers, and lighters, plus all your newsagency bits and bobs. The shop’s open bright and early at 7am Monday through Friday, running until 6pm, while Saturdays they close up a bit earlier at 5pm. Worth noting they take a breather on Sundays, so you’ll want to plan ahead.

The shop seems to be a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to service. Some locals reckon it’s absolutely bonza, with many visitors saying they’ve been going there for yonks and always get treated like old mates. One regular customer pops in daily for parcel services and speaks highly of the professional, friendly vibe. But look, we’ve also heard about some not-so-flash moments, including a few instances where customers felt a bit rushed or weren’t too happy with how they were treated.

What’s handy about this place is they’re not just about smokes – they’ve got banking facilities too, which is pretty convenient for locals. You won’t have to faff around with cash only here; they take cards, EFTPOS, and good old-fashioned cash. A fair few regulars have mentioned how much they appreciate having these extra services in the neighborhood.

While some customers have mentioned they couldn’t find what they were after, most seem to get what they need from this local establishment. It’s one of those places that’s become a bit of a cornerstone in the community, especially for those who’ve been in the area for a while. Some days might be better than others, but that’s just the nature of local shops, isn’t it?
