LODDON produce is making its way to France after tourists walked into a local business’s new venture in the Gold Coast hinterland.
Gaylia Bell has replicated her Inglewood store in the northern state where daughter Tarlia is selling products ranging from Loddon eucalyptus oil to soaps.
The new store’s floor even replicates the famous news pages laid by Gaylia in her Brooke Street store during COVID lockdowns.
She sourced more newspapers and magazines from Inglewood antique shops, took them to Queensland and spent five weeks creating a copy of the Inglewood shop.
And among the first northern customers were the French tourists who picked up some Loddon produce for the trip back to Europe.
“Up there, I’ve been telling everyone to come here to Inglewood,” said Gaylia.
“I’ve been selling the attraction of the great local antique shops in Brooke Street and hope they will come to our town.”
Gaylia has long promoted local eucalyptus oil cleaning products in her shop and is now taking them to Queensland.
