Dungog Shire Mayor Digby Rayward officially opened the new space, cutting the ribbon to applause from enthusiastic supporters.
“Come and have a look at our exciting new stock and find your old favourites,” said Co-op co-founder Jimmy Kingston.
“Here’s to a wonderful new chapter for the Dungog Wholefood Co-op.”
The reopening was made possible thanks to the tireless efforts of the Co-op’s dedicated team of volunteers.
Over the past weeks, they’ve been fundraising, coordinating, and tackling everything from IT setup to furniture moving, smoothie bar training, and shelf-stocking – a true testament to the power of community collaboration.
The Dungog Wholefood Co-op is eager to welcome locals and visitors alike into their vibrant new space at 205 Dowling Street, Dungog.
