About Us

"Being lifelong NSW South Coast residents, we love the fact we can run an Australian owned business that designs and prints its own brands in-house and share our passion with locals and visitors alike."

How It Started
Old school fashion meets business values
The Core Store has been a dream of owners Grant and Mick for many years.
Grant and Mick have been great friends over the past 30 years, both growing up and then raising their own families on our beautiful South Coast NSW. Both are keen surfers with strong connections to nature and the community.
Our Studio
Where all the designs begin
Grant has a passion for art and design, having a degree in Fine Arts and from being a full-time sculptor. Grant now brings his designs to life on all our original Brands designed and printed in-store.
Mick has a long history in retail, managing and owning his own surf shops. Mick has a passion for clothing and people, along with an extensive knowledge of products.
Together Grant and Mick have combined their talents, and the CORE STORE was born.


Your Wardrobe

All our unique brands are designed and printed in our print shop located at the rear of our retail store.
