Kids Clothes/Ladies Clothing/The Shoe Depot – Kingsgrove, NSW

The third time’s a charm for this place. It’s more entertaining if you imagine the history like this:

EXT. KIDS CLOTHES WAREHOUSE – DAY

A bold, shiny new sign gleams from the top corner of the warehouse. The owner stands outside, waiting for the delivery of his first shipment of stock. His assistant emerges from inside.

ASSISTANT: The supplier just called to say the shipment should be here any minute!

OWNER: Great! We’re gonna make a killing!

The truck chugs up the road and pulls in. As the assistant signs for the order, the stock is unloaded. The owner notices it’s nothing but ladies clothing. He holds it up for the assistant to see.

ASSISTANT: Oops…

OWNER: You idiot!

CUT TO:

EXT. LADIES CLOTHES WAREHOUSE – DAY

A bold, shiny NEWER sign gleams above the doorway of the warehouse. The owner finishes tossing the last of the Kids Clothes sign into the skip as the truck drives up the street towards the warehouse. The assistant gingerly emerges from inside, holding an order slip.

ASSISTANT: Uh, boss…the shipment…I’m sorry…

The owner shuts his eyes and sighs.

The truck pulls up. The driver opens the back door, and hundreds of shoes pour out.

CUT TO:

EXT. THE SHOE DEPOT WAREHOUSE – DAY

The biggest, boldest sign yet sits above the doorway. The Ladies Clothing sign has been halfheartedly spraypainted over. A sign sits in the front window – it reads ‘ASSISTANT WANTED’.
