TerryWhite Chemmart Benalla celebrated its grand opening last Saturday with members of the community.
VIP guest Pauline Messenger cut the official ribbon and cake.
Mrs Messenger said it was an honour and a privilege to open the store, adding that her late husband would have been delighted with the ceremony because he was an old golfing companion with Terry White.
Mr White officially retired last Friday.
The opening was enjoyed by everyone who attended and there were prize giveaways, fun activities and a chance for locals to meet and get to know the TerryWhite Chemmart Benalla team.
