Bric-A-Brac Shop 1999-
Address: 215 Power Road, Erinsborough, Victoria, 9571
Owners: Reg Pander (2011-2015), Dennis Dimato (2015)

Situated next door to Grease Monkey's on Power Road since 1999, the Bric-a-Brac shop and second hand dealers is usually seen in the background of scenes on the street. In 2003, Reverend Rosie Hoyland spotted Harold Bishop's tuba in the shop window which had been stolen during a break-in at his house.

In 2011, Ramsay Street residents Toadfish Rebecchi, Sonya Mitchell and Callum Jones headed to the shop, which was having a sale, in order to buy a coffee table to replace theirs, which Callum had broken. Spotting a toy monkey similar to one he had as a child, Callum wanted to buy it, however realising he didn't have enough money to do so felt compelled to steal it instead. With the toy having triggered some memories of his mother, Callum later returned to the shop to ask the owner, Reg Pander if he knew anything about the toy. Reg advised him that there were a lot of them around about 10 years previously as they were related to a children's television show and that they were part of a collection his children had owned.

In 2015, shady businessman Dennis Dimato revealed to Paul Robinson that he had bought the shop, however it seemed that previous owner, Reg had little choice in the matter. Dimato's assets were sold after his arrest later that year, leaving the ownership unknown.
