A Mount Florida greengrocer will close its doors for the final time after 33 years.
Fresh n Fruity on Cummings Drive opened its doors in 1993 and has been a mainstay of the area in the intervening years. However, it will now officially close on Monday (13 April).
Taking to Facebook, owners said it is with a ‘heavy heart’ that they announce the closure.
A statement read: “It's with a heavy heart that we announce Fresh & Fruity will be closing its doors permanently on Monday 13th April.
“It has been an incredible journey, and we are so grateful for the support.”
Fresh n Fruity was set to be taken over by family-run Zucchini Greengrocers but it is understood the sale did not materialise. It followed the announcement that Fresh n Fruity’s owners, Sardar and Shahida Ali, would retire last year.
The shop will have a massive sale to thank loyal customers and clear out remaining stock.
The statement continued: “To say thank you & clear out our remaining stock- we are launching our 20% CLOSING DOWN SALE!!!
“STARTING TODAY EVERYTHING MUST GO!!!
“We'd like to see you one last time.
“Thank you”
No reason for the closure has been given by its current owners.
