Welcome to our Lane Cove Business monthly round up of all business happenings during May 2017. If it opened, closed, rebranded, refurbed or anything else, we’ve (hopefully) covered it here!
New Businesses/Now Open
Harlem and Stone
Harlem and Stone are now open in the Lane Cove Arcade (across from Found Gifts & Homewares, and below Vision Personal Training). This women’s clothing store is all about affordable fashion, with most stock under $100 (apart from leather items). We have been told they will have three deliveries a week of new stock to keep things fresh and exciting.
Closing or Closed
Buby Bling
Buby Bling has finally closed down (after around 8 months of a Closing Down Sale!). They shut their doors on the 27th of May, to make way for Harlem and Stone (see above).
Magnolia Apartment Display Centre
The Magnolia Display Centre has closed on Longueville Road (ITC is not particularly sad about this, as we would prefer to see vibrant shops rather than apartment display centres – we have a sneaky suspicion that the old Allens Real Estate Office (near Burns Bay Bookery) is about to become another apartment display centre).
New Ownership/Management or Business Changes
Oliver Barkley Pet Supplies
Oliver Barkley Pet Supplies has a new owner – the lovely Kirsten, pictured below with two furry friends. Oliver Barkley is located at Figtree Shops in Lane Cove West.
Adam Larissa
Cheryl is now the owner of Adam Larissa. Enid, the previous owner, opened Adam Larissa over 35 years ago. When Enid decided to retire, Cheryl (who has lived in the Lane Cove Area for 26 years) decided to go from customer to store owner and she is loving it. Pop in and say hi to Cheryl. They have some really lovely woolen and cashmere oversized jumpers.
Adam Larissa is located in The Village Shopping Centre.
Relocated/Refurbed/Rebranded
La Provence
La Provence Patisserie is currently undergoing major renovations. We look forward to seeing their shiny new cafe; which will be renamed – La Provence Espresso Bar
Bar Blaq
Bar Blaq has installed some new signage to let people know that there is a bar above Coves Restaurant and Bar in the Cake Man/Bakers Delight Arcade.
Bliss Hair and Body
The lovely ladies at Bliss Hair and Body in Riverview have a fab new WEBSITE.
Milestones/Special Mentions
Spotted Orchid Citizenship Award
The lovely Rita at Spotted Orchid was stoked to win this Lane Cove Citizenship Award, presented to her during the month. She said “When you get recognised for a dream and almost cry on stage!”
Soulful Fitness 2nd Birthday

The Sanctuary Skin Care and Beauty 4th Birthday
More birthday wishes, this time to one of our new business supporters, The Sanctuary Skin Care and Beauty (more details below). The Sanctuary celebrated their 4th Birthday in May.
Len Wallis Audio
Yet another birthday in May – Len Wallis Audio turned 39 years old!!
It was a sunny day on 29th of May, 1978 that Len Wallis Audio officially opened it’s doors. A little investigation with Mr Wallis today revealed the very first sale of the new business was a Yamaha CR-2020 AM/FM Stereo Receiver sold to a chap who walked in while the shop was still very much under construction…
Cove Craft
One of Lane Cove’s hidden gems is Cove Craft, which has been operating ITC for 40 years!! Cove Craft is a tiny shop squashed between the TAB and Unwined Bar, opposite the Post Office in Lane Cove.
For Sale/For Lease
Up for Auction on the 22nd of June are three shops on Burns Bay Road. The building in question used to be home to Rea’s Butcher and the old Kidstuff site, and also includes Dymocks. More details and a video about the site HERE.
