Description:
The closure of the general store in Guildford, Central Victoria, after 108 years was a significant blow to the small community. However, the resilient residents, having previously saved their local pub and successfully reopened the primary school, refused to accept this setback passively. Motivated by their past achievements, the community is actively seeking investors to help buy back the store and run it themselves, demonstrating their strong commitment to preserving their local institutions and sustaining their community's spirit and economy.
