Locally made flooring takes centre stage in new prime-time TV series

GH Commercial is proud to announce its involvement in the new prime-time television series Ooops! I Bought a Pub!, premiering at 8pm Saturday, 2 May on Seven and 7plus.

Starring Australia’s most loved entertainer Shane Jacobson, the six-part series follows Shane’s bold leap from red carpets to renovations as he takes on his biggest challenge yet – purchasing a rundown country pub in the small Victorian town of Dederang, sight unseen.

As part of the pub’s ambitious transformation into a welcoming community hub once again, GH Commercial supplied an Australian made, custom designed, Designer Jet® carpet. Designed to meet the demands of a high-traffic hospitality environment, the bespoke carpet solution balances durability with design – bringing warmth, comfort and performance to the revitalised Dederang Hotel.

The series captures Shane, alongside long-time mate Dean Murphy, navigating mounting challenges including tight deadlines, budget pressures, unpredictable country weather and the added pressure of hosting a wedding mid-renovation. Supported by local tradies, experts and a determined community, the project becomes about much more than a refurbishment—it’s about restoring the heart of a town.

GH Commercial’s locally made Designer Jet® carpet plays a key role in helping re-establish the pub as a true meeting place, offering a practical yet considered flooring solution suited to hospitality spaces where resilience and design must work hand in hand.

Heartwarming, hilarious and full of surprises, Ooops! I Bought a Pub! celebrates regional communities, craftsmanship and the collaborative effort behind bringing an iconic country pub back to life.
