The Sydney Road Street Party is on once again on Sunday the 4th of March and since our Radical Cupcake stall was such a huge success a couple of years ago, this year we've planned a bake off. Not just any bake off though. A vegan, charity bake off!
To keep things simple so you can spend more time feeding your faces and less time waiting around we're going to try judging the winners of each category by popular vote.

For those of you who can't make it but want to contribute to the cause and drool over food porn, we'll be posting photos of the entries on Facebook. All you have to do is make a donation through our online fund-raising page and put the number of the most drool worthy entry in the comments section. There will be an additional prize awarded for the entry that raises the most funds online for Amnesty International.

We want to thank you for helping us get to our third birthday.
Yesterday was our 3rd birthday and to celebrate our survival we're throwing another Big Spender Sale to reward all of you who don't live in our neck of the woods but make the trip over to stock up and support us. We know we're not the closest or most convenient grocery store for you all but we really do appreciate the extra effort you make to support us and our ethical brands whether you're traveling across Brunswick or across the state.
We've been getting new products in every month and are getting closer and closer to our goal of becoming a more convenient one-stop-vegan-shop. We now have 7 isles worth of vegan groceries on offer and with your continued support we hope to work on our wall of co-op style bulk foods next.
For those of you not familiar with our Big Spender sales this is how it works:
Come in this weekend (11th & 12th) between 11am and 5pm and receive the following discounts:
Spend $150 and receive 15% off
Spend $250 and receive 25% off
Spend $350 and receive a whopping 35% off!!
We're not offering the discount off gift voucher purchases this time but feel free to invite friends and pitch in for a big stock up. |

Australia's FIRST 100% vegan grocery store has not only survived two years but we've just expanded dramatically and it's time to celebrate!
It’s been a wild ride from the mostly empty milk bar sized store we opened for you only two years ago to our new feature packed grocery sized store. We still have a lot of work ahead of us but so far we have added a full range of certified organic 100% Australian fresh produce; a cake fridge full of Mister Nice Guy Cup Cakes, Cookies & Brownies; a pie warmer with hot pies and sausage rolls on weekends (soon to be 7 days), a ton of new products, we just bought several more fridges and freezers and we’ve extended our trading hours to 7 days a week. Over the next few weeks we’ll be adding our signage, fresh locally baked organic bread, co-op style bulk foods, isles worth of new products, organic beer & wine and kick ass supporter rewards.
So come in and celebrate our survival, expansion and second birthday with us on Sunday the 13th of February with a vegan party food potluck from 11am – 5pm. It's easy; just bring in a plate of VEGAN party food to share. If you're like me and almost never find time to prepare food for potlucks, never fear. We'll also have plenty of product samples to share with everyone and all of our usual store delights like cupcakes, hot pies and ice creams will be on offer. If sales take your fancy, we even have 15% off all Vegan Perfection products to lure you in.
If you haven’t discovered our new store yet, we’re directly behind the new Episode vintage store at 105 Sydney Road. We don’t have signage up yet but you’ll be able to see our red ‘OPEN’ flag from Sydney Road.

Thanks to your incredible support we're now about to take The Radical Grocery Store to the next level. After a mind blowingly busy weekend on the 9th & 10th we were able to put down a deposit securing our new lease and are now preparing to give it a radical make over ready for a January opening. For those of you who haven't yet heard me babbling on about how awesome the new store will be, just imagine a Radical Grocery Store 10 times the size, in the heart of Brunswick with Australian organic fruit & veg, fresh baked organic bread, vegan organic Fairtrade cupcakes, co-op style bulk organic foods, organic beer and wine, the largest range of vegan and Fairtrade products in the country, a huge upstairs gallery/chill out/event space, all open 7 days a week and all supremely ethical and vegan.
The new store will be located at 6-8 Wilson Avenue which is the little street across from Barkey Square Shopping Centre which links Jewel train station to Sydney Road. Once we have our signs up you'll be able to see it from both Sydney Road and the train station. |

As you can see we now have a beautiful new blog so we can keep you informed with all the super incredibly exciting new plans we're working on at the moment. We'll also be posting about other radical things we find exciting like other ethical sustainable businesses, new product lines, recipes, events, non profit groups, activist causes, film and books. We might even throw in the occasional rant.
That's not all that's new on the site. Aside from adding links to our Facebook and Twitter pages, we also finally have a fully functional online store on our products page !! Now all of you who don't call our beautiful Brunswick home can have your goodies delivered straight to your door. We do hope you will still pop in for the occasional visit though. At this stage refrigerated and frozen products are only able to be delivered within Victoria and our delicious range of ice creams are only available in store.
The new site is still a bit of a work in progress at this stage but we'll be adding more product info and images over the next couple of months. |
