Having begun as a newsagency the shop is now a true regional department store. While news, stationery and Lotto make up a portion of sales the diversification has seen homewares, gifts, and souvenirs become departments of strength for the business. Add Toys and Hobbies on top of that with one of the most complete LEGO stock lists to be found. Sponsoring an annual Lego competition further enhances its place in the local's hearts. Official LEGO stockist is only afforded to major retailers and very few small businesses. Barkers iconic status sees this shop as the centre of Lego for regional Qld.

The timing could not be more perfect. With tourist numbers strong as Australians have fallen in love with their own outback country and international tourists are keen for their taste of outback Australia. Local tourism bookings in 2024 are solid and reinforce this market resilience.
