Own a piece of Nelligen's history and Nelligen's future! A unique picture postcard opportunity on the banks of the picturesque Clyde River. The freehold block has two buildings: a commercial café and a 3-bedroom residence.
It's been eight years since Benny last sold it for $710,000, and we still miss his innovative merchandising of placing DUREX right after Chuppa Chups and before Panadol. At least he's got the chronology right!
Benny Housiaux had bought the old store in 1998 for $200,000, and constantly had his magnanimity tested by customers quoting "Blue fish blowing bubbles" which, according to his website, entitled them to a free Coke (I tried it once and was nearly handcuffed and handed over to the authorities for verbal shoplifting ☺).
He tried to sell it again in 2009 but no luck. Then, in April 2010, it burnt down and, with a bit of help from the insurers, a new store arose from the ashes which Benny then tried to sell for over $800,000. He had to wait three years before he found a buyer in October 2014 at $710,000.
