News — Eternity at REMO

The original REMO General Store was located in a gracious old Victorian building located at the corner of Crown and Oxford Streets in Sydney’s Darlinghurst. There was a window display on Oxford Street in which we would typically feature merchandise. That was for the benefit of the people on foot.

The main game, however, was a five-metre-long window on Crown Street: highly visible to people walking east up Oxford Street; but, more importantly, to the drivers and passengers of the endless stream of cars and buses making their way along Oxford Street. And also down the one-way Crown Street, heading north via the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

We recently experienced a surge in sales of Eternity merchandise ... both the classic Eternity tribute design and Martin Sharp's Eternity at REMO version.

The reason is this:

Roy Williams, the co-author of a book about Mr Eternity was interviewed by Richard Fidler on ABC Conversations on 1 July. Listen to that podcast HERE, being sure to pay special attention at the 40:10 mark to hear about the REMO involvement in the Eternity story.
