I’m all for the op shop/s. I believe they do bring many visitors to Wynnum. I hope they stay as it is a fun way to shop and a vibe similar to some of the inner city suburbs of Sydney (but much easier to get round). The foodie/coffee places that are springing up add a new aspect and a great place to meet people. There is excitement in the air in Wynnum – love it! I embrace the new – but never want to see it’s bayside ambience ‘citified’. After all – it is about the only thing like it Brisbane has!! I hope to see more artisan shops get going and Wynnum will be one of the ONLY really individual places to go in Brisbane. Too many others – same same. We bought there a few years back and are very happy with the place and the people! And – I have not been anywhere else to shop – plenty locally for all occasions.

That’s awesome news about the outdoor consumption of alcohol for Cedar and Pine…congrats Mali !!
As to another OP shop . that’s ridiculous! The landlords could split it up and entice more restaurants. Even a Sams Warehouse or similar would be a better option.

Seriously we don’t need another Op shop we need public toilets with the amount of new high raise building going up its making Wynnum one of the most expensive places to live in and the shops we currently have are just not matching the area. We are also seeing a lot of homeless people what is Peter Cumming thinking..I have lived in Wynnum for 15 years and have watched over time all the different shops closing down. The traffic has increased and so have the people. I have seen over time the local that have lived here all there lives are forced to move out of the area because Wynnum is to expensive for them. VERY SAD.

Starbucks, like it or not , would be a business that would bring ppl “downtown”.A chain fast food place also -someone with that financing should be able to set up that type of business.Not necessarily macca’s or hungry jacks but a Hogs Breath Cafe or Sizzler would also be great.

Seriously, another op shop? I thought we were trying to inject some life into the area? Entice people to visit, support our local businesses, give them a “destination” so to speak. Another op shop simply cheapens the area in my opinion. I don’t know of another suburb that has such a concentration of them and I don’t see how it can be beneficial for Wynnum, we are already branded as “op shop central”.
