A Tewantin shopping precinct left half vacant after being hit by fires last year has grown to a must-do buzzing business strip.
Shops on Hilton have bounced back better than ever thanks to some resilient business owners, new entrepreneurs, and their loyal local customers.
The fire, which was deliberately lit in the early hours of Good Friday in 2023, was a savage blow to business owners preparing for one of the busiest holidays in the annual calendar.
Close to a year later, Bean Theory cafe owner Jennifer Mendes has thanked their loyal customers and is eager to welcome new people to the precinct.
“We can’t thank our community enough for their support as we continue to get back on our feet after a run of tough times,“ Jennifer said.
“After the Covid pandemic, floods and then the fire, we are certainly learning to become a resilient bunch.
“There’s some exciting new businesses joining us in the strip soon, so keep an eye out for these shops in coming weeks.“
The precinct currently features; Noosaville Fish Market, Tewantin Vets, Bean Theory Café, Sew it Seams, Noosa Brow Company, Automatic Spray Tan Booth, and Lakeside Laundromat.
Where else can you get a coffee, a seafood lunch, all while getting your pet cared for, your laundry washed, and clothing alterations, fresh brows, a sun-kissed tan, in the one location?
Find the friendly and convenient shopping strip with plenty of parking at the corner of Hilton Terrace and Earl Street, Tewantin.
Be sure to follow the businesses on socials to show your support and keep up to date.
