Lane Cove Business Round Up – September 2020

Welcome to our monthly business round-up.  A few new cafes have opened in Lane Cove, and the feedback has been great.

Opened

Two Jays Premium Burger Bar has opened in The Village Shopping Centre (near Soulful Fitness).  There have been several posts on Lane Cove Chat by ITC giving the burgers the thumbs up.  They also have chips in gravy (yum).

Puppy Tails Cafe has opened at Blackman Park.  They serve both owners and doggies.  Again the feedback on Lane Cove Chat by ITC has been positive.

Bec and Bel

Two Lane Cove locals have established an online designer fashion consignment business.  Where you can buy pre-loved designer clothes, it is currently online only, but they will be opening a store in Lane Cove Village soon.

They are passionate about sustainability and love fashion, but sometimes those two don’t go together, so that is why Fashion Consignment made a lot of sense to us. They have learnt some much about sustainable fashion, slow fashion and circular fashion recently. They can’t wait to share all these findings with you and together help in any little way they can improve our environment.

 

VR Events

Stephen from River Road Tennis has launched a company that hires out Virtual Reality Machines and 2 x 2.4m High Transformer robots (Bumblebee & Optimus Prime) for parties, events, corporate, grand openings, children’s hospitals, charity foundations etc. These machines are one of a kind and a real wildcard for entertainment.

Closed

The end of an era. The Metro petroleum station is now closed on River Road Northwood and has been demolished. Some of you may remember it as Speedway. It is making way for the new aged care facility- details here.

Coming Soon

Centro

Lane Cove West now has a new convenience store and coffee shop.  It is located in the Waterview Drive Apartment Complex near Hughes Park.  So now when you go to play in Hughes Park, you can get organic coffee and some groceries.

Centro is a family-owned business, and they have successfully operated in the grocery industry since 2010. The Centro team consist of family members who worked in several disciplines and melded together through a shared passion for providing the general community with environmentally responsible sourced products, all at a competitive price.

New Return and Earn Depot Lane Cove West

We have seen a few posts on ITC Lane Cove Chat and In the Cove where people have warned that the return and earn machine at the Little Street Car Park is full of people have had to stand behind a professional collector while they put in their bottles one by one. Lane Cove Return and Earn be opening in Lane Cove West Business Park on September 14th 2020 and you will be able to take bottles there or arrange for at-home collections.
