FREMANTLE BUSINESS CLOSURES

Posted in Uncategorized by freoview on March 2, 2022

Disappointing to see that the long-established Nando’s in Fremantle’s Collie Street has closed and also the West Coffee co. cafe in High Street, that only opened on October 20 last year. I was wondering how long the cafe would last, as they opened just a few weeks before Notre Dame University closed for the long summer break, and that affects West End cafes quite a bit.

The Key Sole shoe shops in Collie, Market and High streets are for sale, according to signs on the windows.

It’s been a huge struggle for the retail and hospitality traders in Freo to survive without interstate and international visitors. I wish for those who have survived that the WA border opening from tomorrow will make a big positive difference and that business will pick up a lot.

Hospitality though will still have to battle on for at least four weeks with the government restriction of maximum 150 patrons. It’s going to be bloody hard.

If you got specials on, happy hours, events, music, whatever, please do let me know, so I can promote it here on Freo’s View and support you! Just email: roelloopers48@gmail.com

    I’ve always wondered how many shoe shops Fremantle can support, there’s a barber shop in town that charge $38 for a buzz cut, a 10-minute job.

    they should set up a pop-up stall in the stadium where 30k people will be watching the footy but not at the local park to watch your friend’s kids play sport….an absolutely dumb arse restriction

    This is all a result of McGowan government’s fixation on our ‘Strong’ economy (focusing on mining) instead of looking local and realising that the metropolitan area is struggling BIG TIME!
