The Cool Store

great selection of FRESH produce at great prices. More often than not, the prices here are below the prices of the two big chains (Coles & Woolies). The staff are super helpful (especially for disabled shoppers - they will help take products to your car). For my fresh fruit; veges; nuts; milk & cheese, there's nothing that beats this place.

I live a few suburbs away, yet I travel here to get some of the freshest vegies and fruit that money can buy. Beats some markets with their impeccable fresh produce. Specials are also out the front and when entering you can grab a free apple for the kiddies whilst shopping.
Great value, great produce and you just pack your items into a big box!

This was where I did my fruit and veg shopping every week before I moved to Box Hill. The place has won several community voted awards for best fruit and veg shop over the years. Basically they sell local, fresh produce at quite reasonable prices. You forget how good things like tomatoes and apples should look and taste when you get them from the supermarket. The staff seem to have farming backgrounds as they know a lot more than most about what vegies can be subsituted in a recipe and what's in season when.
