Scottsdale really is a shopper's haven, with its modern and compact business district. First, let's start with the basics. Roelf Vos Scottsdale Superstore is the ideal place for all your shopping needs, because it is so big, modern, and rather preety with its verandah and its pastel colour scheme. Of course there are other supermarkets too, including Value Plus, with very friendly service, and open seven days.

Gifts are available from Rose's Newsagency (which is also Scottsdale's only Tattersalls agent), Inside Edge and North-East Jewellers, and let's not forget The Lyric Theatre Gift Shop, with its incredible range of ornaments.

For clothes there is Andrea's Boutique, Kaspa Clothing, D's, Janelle Fashions, Hodgetts and Country Clothing. Scottsdale is the fashion capital of North-East Tasmania!

For electrical goods, you can't go past Retravision, the biggest retailer of electrical appliances, Begents, with its super-huge store, and for hardware there is True Value Hardware and Becks Home Hardware.

Scottsdale being a rural community, it has a Webster and a UMT Rural store. The Police Station is always there, as is the new Fire Station and modern Library. For hairdressing, there are four choices, too numerous to mention. We have many service stations, many with 24-hour card pumps.

So it is obvious that shopping is another great reason to visit fabulous Scottsdale.
