It is time for our monthly wrap up on new businesses, closed businesses, rebrandings, new management and changes. Here we go….
New Businesses
Massage Envy
ME is now open in the Anytime Fitness Lane Cove building.
Massage Envy believes total body care is an integral part of everyone’s well-being journey. Through its innovative membership model, the Massage Envy franchise system enables customers to utilize and view massage and skincare services as a regular part of their wellness routine, rather than as a luxury or only on special occasions. This belief fits with the Australian culture of putting a focus on well-being measures – like regular massages – and other complementary therapies to increase their quality of life. You sign up to be a member then you have access to massages or facials.
Jambo & Bros
Jambo & Bros is a new local dog treat company. They told us:
“We freshly bake, no-nonsense nutritional, gourmet, organic treats using only the highest quality human grade ingredients. Our recipes are formulated by Nutrition Specialists, Medical Professionals and Scientists to give your dog a much needed nutritional boost.
We also offer JAMBO’s BOX, a premium monthly dog subscription box full for organic treats, high quality toys, accessories and more!
And we don’t just stop there. For every purchase at Jambo & Bros. we donate a pack of nutritious treats to rescue organisations.“

Opening Soon
A Development Application has been lodged for the building at the back of Central Arcade (where the wine bar was for a few months). It is just near Story. The DA has been submitted by Double Roasters and they have requested 30 new seats. They are serious coffee people and according to Broadsheet:
..these guys know their stuff, from single origin to terroire-specific blends, and anyone of the team is happy to chat brewing methods and flavour profiles with you.
They currently have a cafe in Marrickville (which means they have street cred).
Greenwood Early Education Centre is opening soon at 150 Epping Road, Lane Cove. They are currently taking enrollments HERE.
Coming soon to the The Village Shopping Centre is JBI Jacqueline Boyd Imaging. Jacqueline Boyd specialises in animal photography and using her images to find homes for animals in need.
Another new shop fit-out is happening on Longueville Road, rumoured to be a Real Estate Agent.
We told you a few months ago about the old BBQ King Shop on Longueville Road might be a Spanish Tapas bar (and you liked that idea very much). Well guess what? Renos have started, but we still cannot confirm or deny if it will be a Spanish Tapas shop. Does anyone have any better info on this?
Belle Property’s national office is rumoured to be relocating to the Bikram Yoga building at 42-46 Longueville Road.
A new kebab shop on Mowbray Road where the old bakery used to be – it will be run by Cafe Geo.
And there is yet another shop, freshly leased and currently being fit-out on Longueville Road, below Patchai Restaurant.
Also rumours of another Thai Massage place possibly opening above the plaza, in the old Lane Cove Alive premises in the Lane Cove Plaza. We must love our Thai Massages (there are three in Lane Cove Village area already).
New Ownership
One Seed Patisseries is under new ownership. Harry is delightful. He specialises in sourdough and brioche. He also has some amazing cakes (including sweet potato mousse). You can also order birthday cakes and other celebration cakes.
La Provence has been sold and a new owner has now taken over – we would love to show you a picture of the owner but he did not want his photo taken.
Rebranded/Moved/Refurb/Change Hours
Lane Cove Optical has fresh new signage on their Longueville Road premises.
Ray White Lane Cove has re-modeled and their offices are looking schmick!
Yogabowl has a lovely shiny new and improved WEBSITE.
Cafe Geo has launched a new breakfast menu and they are now open all days for breakfast, except for Mondays. The Cafe is run by Monica and she has introduced a new menu.
Closing or Closed
While we are always sorry to see businesses closing down, we aren’t surprised that Fear No Ink Tattoo has closed, seemingly for good this time.
Renovating
Anytime Fitness is closed for renovations. They will be reopening on 21 June 2016 and will be twice the size that they are now. They will have new equipment and some new classes for you to take.
