There are some dates that stand out on the calendar, and for all of us here at Australian Performance Boxes, April 12th, 2025 is one we won't forget. After months of preparation and plenty of anticipation, we are absolutely thrilled to share that our Opening Day was an incredible success!
From the moment our doors opened, the atmosphere buzzed with excitement. People came from near and far—customers, enthusiasts, and newcomers alike—eager to see our new store and showroom, chat with the APB team, enjoy exclusive offers, and be a part of something special. It was a fantastic reminder of why we do what we do.

Our Opening Day was designed to be more than just a store launch. We wanted to create a day for everyone who walked through our doors. There was something for everyone: from our in-store 10% discount, live displays, and giveaways to awesome merchandise, BBQ, coffee, and the infectious sound of great music keeping energy levels high.
A major highlight of the day was the unbeatable BBQ, and for that, we owe a massive thanks to the legends over at Saving True Blues. Their involvement was absolutely pivotal, and their willingness to jump in, fire up the grill, and keep everyone fuelled was a huge hit! The Saving True Blues team went above and beyond, ensuring nobody left hungry, and helped contribute to the friendly, welcoming vibe of the day. We can’t thank them enough for being involved and making our Opening Day extra special.
