The team at Paint Place Beerwah celebrated the opening of their new store on the corner of Simpson Street and Pine Camp Road on Saturday morning.

They shared the excitement with local families with free face painting and lucky dips for the kids and a tasty sausage sizzle for the grown-ups.

However, the real winner of the day was local community organisation endED, which will receive a donation of $1,100 from sales as well as other fundraising efforts on the day.

endEd is a community organisation that focuses on assisting those facing the battle of eating disorders and their parents and carers. It is locally based at Mooloolah Valley.

Mark Forbes, co-founder of endED, said he felt very humbled when he parked across the road and saw the endED banners flying outside the store.
