Opening on Monday, the new store will have a strong focus on local produce and the community, according to co-owner Fiona Ziff.
“We love food and we love local produce and we’re really quite community focused as well,” she said.
“We brought all these passions together and thought, great opportunity for us and the locals to have a modern version of the corner store.”
All the corner store classics will be present there, from newspapers to milk to lolly bags, but they will be joined by a selection of diverse take-home meals from a range of sources and backgrounds, with opening specials including lamb shanks and pork belly with tamarind sauce.
“The food we’re selling, it’s the stuff we’d love to eat every night,” Ms Ziff said.
The store will be open seven days a week, opening from 6.30am to 5.30pm on weekdays.
