Fruit For All
A family fresh produce business tracing back to the 1960s Sydney fruit trade, now in its third generation on the Central Coast.
About this market
Fruit For All carries a family history in the fresh produce trade stretching back to the 1960s, when Nick and Tony's father Paul first became involved in Sydney's fruit and vegetable industry. After about 14 years in that trade, Paul moved the family to Woy Woy in 1976, planting the roots of what would eventually become a genuine Central Coast institution.
Three generations, and a store customers followed across the coast
The family's retail chapter began properly in 1993, when Paul, together with sons Nick, Tony and Angelo, opened the first Fruit For All store in the newly built Westfield Tuggerah complex. In 2007, the family took a bigger step, branching out to open an independent store at Tumbi Creek Road in Berkeley Vale, a genuine gamble outside the security of a major shopping centre. It paid off: many of their loyal Westfield customers followed the family to the new location, a level of customer loyalty most fresh produce businesses would envy.
Market at a glance
Reviewers consistently praise the quality and freshness above supermarket alternatives, singling out fresh juices, freshly baked fruit cakes and muffins, and a genuinely large selection within each fruit and vegetable category, alongside friendly staff and a neighbouring butcher that makes the site a convenient one-stop shop.
When the family opened their independent Berkeley Vale store in 2007, leaving the security of the Westfield Tuggerah complex behind, many of their loyal customers followed them to the new location rather than staying with the shopping centre.
Good to know before you go
Being open seven days, including Sunday until 3pm, makes it a genuinely reliable option regardless of when a grocery run fits into the week. The neighbouring Tumbi Meats butcher makes it easy to complete a full weekly shop in one stop.
