Staff at the newest addition to the discount retail scene in Wagga have been sorting and stacking their first stock intake this week and it started with the all important Christmas aisles.
"Opening in time for Christmas is very exciting," the store's owner Lisa Toohey-Bott said.
In other news:
"We can put out all the fun stuff and everyone is excited to come shopping.
"The thing is we won't only have decorations, we'll have a huge range of gift ideas, lots of Christmas food and I think that's going to be a real welcome surprise for people."
The new store has kept the core staff from Lincraft, which used to occupy the same space, and continuing manager Linda Simmonds is raring to go.
"This will be a lot more fast paced ... I'm excited," she said.
"It will be go, go, go, and it will be exciting, we're all pumped up."
Signs went up on Silly Solly's new home on Berry Street in the last week and it's safe to say the locals can't wait.
"We've had people literally trying to pry open the doors," Ms Toohey-Bott said.
Ms Toohey-Bott hopes to be open for business in early November.
