BELOVED Torquay establishment, Surf Coast Wholefoods, has changed ownership with a well-known local family taking over the reins.<\/p>\n
Founded in 2012 by Annabel and Tim Reiter, the boutique supermarket has long been a haven for organic and health food lovers.<\/p>\n
For new owners, Sophia Lamb and Toby Jeavons, the business is strongly aligned with their own focus on health and holistic living.<\/p>\n
“It’s something we live by ourselves,” Ms Lamb said.<\/p>\n
“We just believe in the importance of healthy living and how important it is for wellbeing.”<\/p>\n
The Jan Juc local and mother of three has a background as a yoga teacher and has been running BeKind Studio, a home yoga studio specialising in pregnancy and postnatal courses, since 2019.<\/p>\n
“It’s such an amazing place that the previous owners have already created,” she said.<\/p>\n
“We want to keep the heart of it. It’s such an amazing business and amazing community hub already so we’ll keep a lot of it the same and then, over time, let it evolve.”<\/p>\n
And that evolution will be focused on creating connection and responding to the interests of the community.<\/p>\n
“We’d love to bring in a consultancy room for the naturopath that works there,” Ms Lamb said.<\/p>\n
“So, everyone that comes in they can have consults as well as get any supplements and herbs and natural medicine they need.<\/p>\n
“We’d love to, over time, bring in little workshops and things that bring even more connection.”<\/p>\n
Ms Lamb said the experience so far had been “amazing”.<\/p>\n
“There’s so much to learn when you start a new adventure, but it just feels really right and really aligned and there’s lots of good energy carrying us there.”<\/p>\n
“The previous owners have been just amazing in teaching us everything and showing us the ropes.<\/p>\n
“We feel really supported and excited to take [Surf Coast Wholefoods] onto its next journey.”<\/p>\n
