BRING IT ON: Simon Barrett will open his newsagency at Peregian Springs this month.
New tenants spice up local life PEREGIAN Springs residents have only a few weeks to wait before the first of two new tenants opens its doors at Peregian Springs Shopping Centre adding extra flavour to the local retail offer. A new newsagency and modern Mexican food specialists Burrito Bar are confirmed to be opening at the Shopping Centre in the coming weeks, and Peregian Golf has told subscribers to its newsletter that plans are progressing well to re-open a restaurant at the Club House in the not to distant future. The first to open will be the newsagency. Coolum Park News Extra owner Simon Barrett is expanding his business and opening a new newsagency in the site vacated by the Commonwealth Bank recently.
Mr Barrett expects to open the doors before the end of May. He said he is excited at the opportunity and had been looking for the right place to come up in the Centre for about four years. When the former CBA tenancy became vacant he jumped at the chance and “can’t wait” to open the doors. Mr Barrett, who has 10 years’ experience at Coolum and 14 years in the business, said the Peregian Springs business “won’t be an old school newsagency”. He said the business will carry new lines such as gifts and inkjet cartridges and more - as well as more traditional lines such as stamps, lotto, stationery, cards, magazines and newspapers.
