Welcome to our Lane Cove Business Round-Up for January/February 2022.
This article tells you about new businesses, businesses that closed, renovations, refurbishments, business for sale, Commercial Development Applications, and businesses that support ITC by becoming part of our Local Business Directory.
Open
Jack & Co Burns Bay Road Lane Cove West
Jack & Co opened their second store in Lane Cove in late December 2022. They have refurbished the old 7 Eleven Store on Burns Bay Road. It is now a Caltex branded service station. Like their other store located in Northwood, you can purchase freshly made sandwiches, fresh OJ, Barista Coffee and fresh bakery items.
Jack & Co is a family-owned business that is investing in Lane Cove and employing Lane Cove locals. Their new store is led by Store Manager Dani (pictured below).
She’s been with Jack & Co for five years and has moved through many roles over the years. She’s a fantastic asset to the business and it’s great to see young leaders coming through their organisation. Congratulations Dani!
Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Lane Cove
Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Lane Cove have moved into The Lane Cove Village Shopping Centre corner shop (where the phone repair shop used to be). If you don’t know, The Village Shopping Centre is opposite the old Coles building on Burns Bay Road (which will soon be Lane Cove Central and include Harris Farm Markets).
Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate is right opposite NiBu Cafe.
Better Homes and Gardens told us the following:
“Expect Better with our Property Management team at Lane Cove Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate.
Pop into our new Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Lane Cove office to chat investment property, have a cuddle with our office doggo or simply grab your free copy of the latest Better Homes and Gardens Australia magazine”
The doggie is Bently!!

Kim Jordan Table Styling
Kim Jordan Table Styling rents out picture-perfect table settings for home-based dinner parties and special occasions on Sydney’s North Shore.
Rather than people going to the expense of buying multiple dinner sets, tablecloths, cutlery, glassware and all the little accessories that make it really pop, they can rent a beautiful tablescape from me, and they don’t need to worry about where they’re going to store it all afterwards.
Kim told ITC:
“I simply love creating a beautiful table to share a meal with friends and family. It really sets the scene to celebrate special moments in life. I can help my clients to create an atmosphere that will have a real impact on their guests. Settings to evoke feelings of opulent abundance, elegant simplicity or festive fun.
Clients can choose to simply rent what they need and set up themselves, or for an extra fee, I can set up for them.
I use local suppliers whenever possible and can recommend catering and floral arrangements.
I don’t rent out stock-standard settings. I prefer to consult with the client in order to understand their requirements, and tailor a setting to suit their individual needs and budget.”
Pricing Guide
Per place setting:
A place setting usually consists of a base plate/charger and/or placemat, dinnerware, cutlery, glassware can be provided if needed, napkins, napkin rings, and candles. Prices range from $25 to $50 per place setting.
Extra charges for:
Tablecloth, vases and floral arrangements, centrepiece displays, set up and disassemble, delivery (free delivery to Lane Cove, Riverview, Longueville and Greenwich).
Minimum rental is 4 place settings.

Closed
Goodwill Shop
The Longueville Road Goodwill Shop has closed. This is a shame as it employed four people and had five regular volunteers. It was also a place where people could wander in and have a chat and connect with others. From what we can gather it is highly unlikely that it will relocate to other premises in Lane Cove.
In 2013 the shop was called After a Fashion Recycled Clothing Store and it was supported by Presbyterian Social Services. It closed in 2013 and then a few weeks later The Goodwill Shop took over.
Delhi Hutt Lane Cove
The Delhi Hutt Lane Cove closed just before Christmas. The Delhi Hut opened in 1998. Like many of our local businesses, they struggled throughout the COVID19 period. A new Indian restaurant will be opening there soon (see below).
Rebranded/New Owners
Fink Cafe Lane Cove West
Opening Soon
Harris Farm Burns Bay Road Lane Cove
An opening date has been released for Harris Farm Markets.
Harris Farm will be opening in the refurbished old Coles building on Burns Bay Road and will be part of the new shopping complex called Lane Cove Central. Find out more here.
Unfortunately like so many other projects, COVID19 has delayed the refurbishment and they will now be opening in time for Easter 2022 – Easter starts on 16th April 2022.
Lane Cove Central has also announced that Chambers Cellars will be opening in the centre around Easter 2022
Lane Cove Central will revitalise this end of Burns Bay Road and will mean more foot traffic for the local businesses along Burns Bay Road.
Fill and Chill
Fill and Chill will take over the old Bar Blaq space (above Bakers Delight Lane Cove).
It will be a cocktail and wine bar specializing in signature cocktails, classic cocktails, wine, beer and bar snacks.
They told In the Cove:
“We are able to seat 120 people. With a great balcony area overlooking the busy Lane Cove promenade.
The floor will be hosting live music in the future and also Friday and Saturday nights we will be employing DJs to do a bit of a party vibe. Top 40, dance, r and b and retro. Will be a fun time. We will also be able to host events and private functions.
We will be open from Wednesday to Saturday at the beginning with plans to expand.”
Red Fort Indian
A new Indian Restaurant called The Red Fort will be opening in the Lane Cove Village Shopping Centre above NiBu Cafe and in the same complex as Soulful Fitness.
It will be located in the old Delhi Hutt restaurant site that closed just before Christmas last year.
Fun fact: The Red Fort in Delhi was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007. See more here https://whc.unesco.org/en/news/360
Puppadeli
Puppadeli will be launching a hybrid retail and cafe environment where the customers include our four-legged friends. You heard it right, Puppadeli is launching a boutique pet shop and cafe offering our furry friends delicious meals and treats. The shop will be located next to Unwined Espresso Bar.
Asian Grocery Store
A new Asian grocery store selling packaged and refrigerated groceries will be opening in Lane Cove in the old Adam Larissa store in The Village Shopping Centre.
Upmarket Japanese
We understand that an upmarket Japanese restaurant is looking to open up in the old Da Mak Fusion/Resto Thai restaurant in The Village Shopping Centre.

WritePublishGrow
If you ever wanted to write a book, then WritePublishGrow will help you.
WritePublishGrow was born out of a necessity. Eda found many writers who felt disconnected from editors, beta readers, and contacts in the publishing industry. What began in 2014 as a writers’ group has blossomed into a micropublisher which takes writers from the first word to the first draft to all necessary revisions and finally a beautiful book to hold and share.
It is Eda’s belief at WritePublishGrow that as humans, we have always lived in times that call for people from all backgrounds, especially the lesser-heard voices of the black sheep, those surviving mental illness, women, people of colour, the indigenous, LBGTQIA+, neurodivergent, the mystics and artists to own our stories.
Everything about you that was rejected by crumbling power structures, is ready to be accepted by those seeking better stories and deeper connections.
Only you know the book of your dreams that aches to see the light of day. At WritePublishGrow, their dream is to work with you to create your beautifully designed book.
You can also attend workshops where you meet other writers. The next workshop is 24 February 2022 – details here.
