It’s just 8 months since Sunshine Mitre 10 opened its new superstore at North Lakes, and they are really proud to be part of the fastest-growing area in Queensland.
More than two years before the store opened the Sunshine Mitre 10 team recognised the potential of the location at North Lakes and they are mighty pleased with the results so far.
The Sunshine Coast is seen as the ‘entrepreneurial capital’ of Australia, and it is the reputation for hard work and dedication that the Sunshine Coast business community will celebrate at the annual Small Business Month Breakfast in May.
The event on Thursday 4th May, presented by the Sunshine Coast Business Awards, Sunshine Coast Council and Regional Development Australia (RDA), Sunshine Coast, will also see the 2023 Sunshine Coast Business Awards launched.
“With more than 40,500 small businesses, contributing to more than 50% of all employment for the region, it is no wonder that we are the envy of other regions,” Sunshine Coast Business Awards chair Jennifer Swaine said.
“We have such a rich diversity of business and industries which is reflected by the business winners and finalists in our Awards year after year.”
RDA Sunshine Coast CEO Paul Fisher said the Queensland Small Business Month breakfast was the perfect forum to join fellow small business professionals in sharing stories of success, strategies for growth and to reflect on the past 12 months.
