I've been a fan of Fitch Sharpening in Canberra for years (well, Fyshwick, actually). I drove past today, and to my horror saw that the shop was closed and being sold.
Does anyone here have any news - are they relocating? (Fingers crossed!!!)

Don't go for a drive down Townsville street then..... for lease, vacant, for sale, for sale, rent me!, for lease.... the whole street.
Every. Single. Business. Gone.
Everything. I was there this arvo.... Ghost town.
Go the real estate boom!
As for Fitches... even the sharpening service out the back? Where can we get our stuff sharpened now?????

Even the joinery out the back (next to the sharpening is going).... https://www.allhomes.com.au/ah/act/sale-commercial/whyalla-street-fyshwick-canberra/1316906521411
I remember back in 1994 it was a ghost town. I started an ISP and webdesign in a titanic warehouse... cost $215 a week.

Not sure about the sharpening shop out the back. I was still in shock out the front and didn't wander up there.

Fitches closed the shop several months ago. I believe the sharpening side of the business is still going.

haven't been there since the closing down sale but it was their intention to still have the sharpening service and also to sell blades and router bits there

Why not call their old phone number (6239 1295) and see if they answer or have a message?

Closing Down Sale!?!
I never heard about that! Months ago!
Crumbs - no wonder they shut down. If they have been shut for months and I only just found noticed - shows what a crap customer I was! :(
