Local Area Spotlight – Coles Arcade, Burns Bay Road

    Coles arcade lane cove

    This week in our Local Area Spotlight we are looking at the Coles Arcade and the shops located under Coles.

    coles development

    The Coles Arcade is located at 56-60 Burns Bay Road, Lane Cove. The centre contains Coles Supermarket, three Specialty stores, a Kiosk store and a restaurant. The Coles store is very much an old format store and has not kept up to date with the new Coles format located in Chatswood. It has been announced that Coles will be the anchor tenant in the new Rosenthal Avenue Development, so it is probably the reason why Coles has not been refurbished for a considerable period of time.

    Maruya

    Maruya offers modern Japanese Cuisine such as Saikyo Miso Lamb Chops, BBQ Pork and much more.

    Mori Mart Lane Cove

    Mori Mart is a bona fide Japanese grocery store, owned by MJ and Tai. In Japanese, Mori means Forest. MJ and Tai chose the name as they wanted a name that reflected organic and healthy. The shop is crammed full of Japanese goodies you would find in a Japanese Grocery store in Japan. You can see more of their stock here.

    The Flower Lady Lane Cove

    The Flower Lady Lane Cove is tucked away behind the stairs. For many many years the owner would yell out on a Sunday Afternoon – ” Get Your Fresh Flowers Here – 2 Bunches for $15.00″.  After the owner sold, the new owner had a recording of his voice and used to play it on Sundays. This tradition has gone. However the Flower Lady is open more hours than it used to be and is now under new management.  The new owner took over about two months ago.
