I took a walk up A Shed on Saturday
and there were some pleasing aspects to the new presentation.
Queen St Plaza is developing
its “festival” concept and as you walk into A Shed the combination of key
anchor spots like the Mussell Van, Rocco’s Juicery, and Rewine add variety and
quality.
Is it my imagination or do
the fruiterers in this area look more professional in their presentation? Gus
& Carmel’s Ilfruttivendolo shows a point of difference.
Further up the aisle is the “Family
Footy Zone” and there was a real buzz with the kids lining up to take “specces”
over the blow up models. The young fellow shown in our photo went up to the
staff afterwards to thank them for letting him join in which was a nice touch.
Adjacent to the Footy Zone
were two giant TV screens showing a replay of last year’s AFL Grand Final
between the Bulldogs and The Swans. An iconic football match that actually
gained little attention from the market goers as our photo shows. That probably
just says the Queen Vic Market was giving them better things to do. And from
what I saw it certainly was.
