If you have been following me you would’ve seen I have an interest in Costco in Brisbane and Queensland area, I had been following the opening of the first Brisbane store, following the rumours for Brisbane’s second Costco and now the latest I have been seeing and hearing about is Costco Logan or lately Costco Loganholme.

In true Costco fashion the speculation starts via the media and people talking about what they have heard or the Costco people they have seen around in areas.

Then usually to hit, the fact that the local council is making it hard for the store to get the necessary ticks of approval to open in the area and this stalls the opening or the confirmation that the store will open within a certain time frame.

So this is where Costco Logan has entered into the speculation of potential sites.

I was due for my next cut and I have been a bit time poor recently and have gone back to a few of the other Barbers I have already been to on my Brisbane Barber Shop Bucket List, it was time to get back into it and therefore time to visit The Emporium Barber in Fortitude Valley.

The first thing I liked about this barber was the website, when you hit their page it is a good looking website and sets the scene for them.

It is also a selling site too which I have noticed not many barbers have embraced so far, The Emporium Barber has an online presence more so than a few of the other barbers I have visited.

This is not a good or bad thing as different customers have different needs but in this day and age of social media and tech it is still good to have a functional and appealing online presence.

Is The Emporium Barber in Fortitude Valley the Best Barber in Brisbane?
