The Simmers name is synonymous with providing outstanding customer service to the Williamstown community since 1854 – but the little hardware store has grown into so much more.
The multifaceted business offers hardware under the Thrifty Link banner and paint under the PaintRight banner.
It’s a trade centre for Haymes Paint and sells gas appliances through Gas Central.
The Simmers Serviced Apartments operation is upstairs and Interia Homewares two doors away.
Simmers Hardware caters to all hardware and paint needs, with friendly, helpful advice for both DIY and trade customers.
A new rewards program has been launched to give back to loyal customers and local community groups.
By simply joining up you can receive discounts on hardware and paint purchases, with a percentage going to your choice of local organisations (limited selected organisations).
Simmers stocks whitegoods, including fridges, washing machines, televisions, dryers and dishwashers.
Gas Central has also grown into a comprehensive operation, offering heating during the colder months and cooling during the hot ones.
It sells gas space heating, a large array of gas log fires to beautify and heat your home, major air-conditioning brands and hot water services backed by experienced advice, free-in home consultations and full installation. Gas Central truly is the complete package.
If it’s accommodation you’re after, Simmers has that covered with serviced apartments located above the store. Visitors from all over the world enjoy the location and the friendly staff who welcome them with smiles.
Interia Homewares, which opened 13 years ago, offers quality homewares to locals and tourists alike.
Business owner Anthony Daniel has worked in the family business most of
his life.
“The business has been in my family since the 1920s,” he says.
“We love our local community and many customers are also friends … we treat every customer in this way. It’s a joy to be part of this community.”
