George’s Fruit Barn and Asian Grocer at Terrigal has been recognised in the Australian Parliament by Federal Member for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid.
Reid recognised the longevity of the business, which has continuously serviced the Central Coast community with healthy and nutritious produce since 1965.
He also acknowledged the hard work of the late Anthony George, and now his wife Marie George, along with the whole George family.
“As a student in high school travelling from Umina Beach to Erina Heights, my family and I would often stop at George’s Fruit Barn on the way to school,” he said.
“I have many happy memories visiting the fruit shop and buying a cold drink and other treats.
“For almost 50 years, George’s Fruit Barn has been a go-to fruit and veg shop here on the Coast and has developed a reputation for having very friendly service.
“It was a privilege to recognise George’s Fruit Barn in the Australian Parliament in Canberra and acknowledge the hard work and sacrifice of the George family.
“Thank you to the George family for being incredible members of our community; small businesses are the backbone of our economy.”
George’s Fruit Barn is located at 251 Scenic Hwy, Terrigal.
