Hi Everyone!

Following some local community discussion over the past 24 hours on social media and the whirlwind of comments and speculation that has since ensued (some of which we have found quite distressing), we felt we needed to put in the open a few facts – from our perspective, of course.

1. Yes we are opening a kiosk in front of Coles and we are pretty excited about it.
2. We did not approach Jindalee Home about taking over the space, they approached us.
3. When they approached us, we were unaware that the current tenants didn’t know the lease wasn’t being renewed.
4. As a fellow small business, we really feel awful about how this situation has come to be.

We were approached by the national leasing team (based in Sydney) almost two years ago about taking over the lease in front of Coles – at a time when we were too busy with Bare Bones and a new café in Corinda. We were struggling with a new business, trying to balance our time between two venues while employing some 40 plus local staff, so we informed them it wasn’t a good time and said no.

We were then approached again early this year to see if now was a better time, and given that Bare Bones was up for lease in 2019, now would be a good opportunity to renew its lease early – which we might add gives our own family and the 20+ staff employed there some job security. So we said yes. We believed taking the kiosk would give Bare Bones some security for its future.

At the time of being approached, we were informed the current lease of the kiosk wasn’t being renewed and therefore if it was not us taking the lease, it would be someone else.

We were unaware the current tenants of Pistache were not informed of the plans for the future lease of the kiosk. As the owners of a small business ourselves, we really feel for them. We don’t know them personally at all however we’ve always heard really lovely things about them from the community and therefore it has certainly made us feel terrible. However the lease has been signed so we are already committed.

At this point in time, we will be taking over early November to begin fitout works and we are looking to open the middle to late November. We will do our best to give this community the space it deserves. We hope to see you there.

Thanks for reading,
