WILSONS Fruit and Vegetable\u2019s on Mair Street will undergo a renovation with construction set to begin this weekend.<\/p>\n
The popular produce and deli destination will be closed from Sunday, 11 September until Saturday, 1 October to allow for what general manager Peter Wilson said will be an overhaul of their current setup.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re doing a whole refit of the retail space. We\u2019re going to gut it right out and refill it with new fridges, new displays, new register bays, everything,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTwenty years is a long time for a store to be running, and it\u2019s time to update it and give it a facelift because after that much time some of the things would be pretty worn out too.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis will give us the ability to better display our products and make it an easier, better shopping experience for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
A popup store will operate from the Mair Street warehouse during the renovation and customers can continue shopping with Wilsons via home delivery or at the Lucas location.<\/p>\n
The renovation will introduce about six new display fridges and a new deli case, but Mr Wilson said much of the change will be in the store\u2019s presentation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not so much about equipment but the look and feel of the place. I guess we\u2019ve tried to tie back to our roots a little bit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019ll be a strong timber feature to the rebuild, different floor coverings to give it that rustic, sort of old packing shed feel.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt certainly won\u2019t be modern and in-your-face.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
