A supermarket that mysteriously closed in January, leaving customers unsure if it would reopen, has entered into liquidation.
The grocery store at Pelican Waters was only open for six months before a notice was placed on the door informing of an “unforeseen” closure over the Australia Day long weekend.
Customers were originally informed W’Gusto IGA would reopen on January 28, but that information was later changed to “Closed until further notice”.
However, the IGA never reopened and on March 12 a notice of appointment as liquidator was published on the ASIC website.

The notice confirmed the company, listed as W’Gusto Supermarkets Pty Ltd, was put into liquidation at a general meeting on the same date.
“It was resolved that the company be wound up and that Jason Bettles be appointed liquidator,” the notice read.
Mr Bettles is a principal liquidator at Worrells Solvency and Forensic Accountants.

W’Gusto was the main tenant in the newly developed Dockside Village complex at 1 The Basin, Pelican Waters.
It stocked a range of items, from gourmet offerings to fresh produce.
Store owners and operators Greg and Lecinda Weiss were also key drivers in the Dockside Village development.
Mr and Mrs Weiss and Worrells Solvency have been contacted for further comment.
