Beautiful in-season mangoes 🥭 and ours are cheaper than Woolies and Coles (and so much yummier). Plus we don’t increase our prices for profit at the expense of customers ✊🏼

We have a lot of fun down at LOCO, while also promoting suppliers who are doing good things for the world.

Last week we took a few photos with Michael and Gianni from Self-Managed Soap, beautiful organic soap made by Dorothy Day House, the Brisbane Catholic Worker. Frida jumped in the shots as well with some fabulous laundry liquid.

We are open again on Monday, with orders for deliveries due on Sunday morning at 8am (7am for bread).

See you all on Monday 🌟
