In a retail environment dominated by predictions of doom and gloom, one retailer is standing out from its peers. Mag Nation, the specialist magazine retailer last night took out the coveted Business3000 award for Best Young Business in Melbourne.
Co-Founder Sahil Merchant was delighted to accept the award. “It is very encouraging to receive recognition for ignoring common wisdom and breaking all the accepted rules within an industry” he said. Unlike the newsagent channel, which Merchant goes out of his way to distance himself from, Mag Nation is constantly increasing its magazine range and also actively encourages customers to browse. In fact, the Mag Nation stores have signs saying “everything at Mag Nation can be touched, felt and browsed… except for our staff”.

It was total psychic horror: death, decay, dissolution, cold empty black malevolent lonely voided space. It was the worst thing I have ever confronted . . . I understood on an intuitive level why people kill themselves. If I had to go for any length of time with that feeling, I’d surely kill myself.” (‘Infinite Jest’, 1996).
Brrrrrr! this is what’s waiting for you in Lodown 63!
