Sum Yung Guys opened at Sunshine Beach in 2017 before moving to a larger venue in Noosaville in 2021.
Mr Sinclair posted to his social media last week saying how excited he was to open Peli’s.
“The last year of coordinating this project together has been the kind of challenge a man could only wish for in this one life,” he said.
“It has certainly taken a village to bring this big girl together and the beauty was all in the journey with them. Counting down the days.”
