To assist the community in meeting their daily religious duties, the team converted a large storage unit into a dedicated prayer room. Since its launch, just in time for Ramadan, the StoreLocal prayer room has been very well received by the Campbellfield community and the Australian Muslim Council as a sign of positive inclusion, and is used each and every day by customers and community members alike as a practical service. The StoreLocal Campbellfield team has provided an outstanding service to the community and demonstrated the qualities that StoreLocal prides themselves on – family, integrity, respect, excellence.
