Welcome to our Lane Cove Business Round-Up for April 2021.  This article tells you about new businesses, renovations, refurbishments, and businesses that support ITC by becoming part of our Local Business Directory.

Opened

Mama Hong’s Vietnamese is open in the Lane Cove Village.  They are only open during the day.  The reviews have all been very positive.  You can read the reviews here.

Sisters Not Twins, brow and lash salon, has opened at the Riverview Shops (just near Bliss Hair and Body).  Erin, the owner, told ITC the following:

“My name is Erin, and I run Sisters, not Twins Brows and Lashes. I’ve been working in Willoughby for the past year and I am very excited to announce that I have moved and opened up a boutique salon in Riverview.

I love nothing more than to create a space where you can leave your worries at the front door and know that you are in good hands. If you’ve been searching for someone who truly cares about giving you the brows and lashes you’ve always wanted, then please get in touch!

**Booking links via Facebook and Instagram, or feel free to contact me directly via email or phone**”

Perin Legal

Perin Legal, a boutique law practice specialising in Children’s Law, Criminal Law and Family Law, with a focus on representing and defending children, young people and families, has opened in Lane Cove.

The Principal is Gloria Perin.  Her professional experiences identified that a boutique legal practice specialising in defending young people and families was needed; particularly on the Lower North Shore.

Prior to entering the legal profession, Gloria Perin worked as a high school teacher with at-risk students and their families. This experience furnished Gloria with valuable insights into the complex home environments in which many children, young people and families co-exist. Gloria came to understand and respect the difficulties and tensions they face, which sometimes results in the breakdown of the family unit or requires the intervention of the Police.

Since Gloria’s admission, she has worked for a variety of private practices. She has gained
a reputation for being a fearless and passionate lawyer due to my successful representation of people across a range of matters at the Children’s Court, Local Court, District Court, Family Court, Federal Circuit Court, Supreme Court of NSW and the High Court of Australia.

Today Chatime is the fastest growing iced tea franchise in Australia. There are over 120 Chatime T-Breweries – all in just 10 years. That means even more Australians get the chance to try our fabulous and flavoursome creations.”

They have taken over the Super Mix Juicery in the Lane Cove Plaza (near La Piazza) and will be fitting it out soon. They are on the lookout for staff.

This collaboration means we will now have the most experienced real estate team on the Lower North Shore and we will be even better placed to help you achieve your property goals.
