Just before Christmas, Banjo’s Bakery Café opened, bringing another new food option to the local community. The newest Tasmanian store sits alongside the new Brighton IGA, as well as a new Subway store. Adding a touch of star power to the fes­tivities, CEO of the Tasmania JackJumpers, Christine Fin­negan, officially cut the ribbon, marking the beginning of trade for the store.

Christine was joined by the Secretary for Housing and Planning and Member for Clark, Simon Behrakis, who also took part in the ribbon cutting. Banjo’s Brighton gave four lucky visitors JackJump­ers Corporate Box tickets, while 1,000 free small savouries were gifted to customers, as a way of saying thanks to the local community.
