Buy Local Day

On 22 June Eumundi business owners took part in the Sunshine Coast's annual Buy Local Day –an initiative of the SCC to encourage people to shop locally. Business owners including market stall holders came together with the help of Experience Eumundi to formulate ideas on how to best promote their services and products.

Local artist Mia Laity designed a Eumundi Buy Local Day poster displayed in shopfront windows throughout the campaign.

As it was a market day and the beginning of the school holidays, the town was bustling with people experiencing Eumundi’s artisan culture at its best. There were sales at Real McCaul Leather and Pottery for the Planet, $100 tattoos at Hokum tattoo parlour, coffee tastings at Eumundi Coffee Roasters, giveaways at Berkelouw Cafe and the Thirsty Camel bottleshop, a bbq lunch at the Eumundi Pavilion and much more!

Tom Rumble, owner of Eumundi Coffee Roasters and the Eumundi Chamber of Commerce Main Street Traders Representative said, “It was a great day for business owners to connect and showcase our niche and lively town.”

Tom plans to start a focus group to further progress ideas to encourage local engagement with Eumundi businesses. If you are interested in joining this working group, contact Tom at: thomas@eumundicoffeeroasters.com.au.
