A fast-food chain is poised to open a store at Sunshine Plaza, amid speculation that a major global apparel brand could also be preparing to join the centre’s retail mix.
Zeus Street Greek, which is at 49 locations around the country, will open its first venue on the Sunshine Coast “soon”.
The chain claims to be “Australia’s leading Mediterranean food brand”.
“We serve real Greek food, made for mortals,” the company stated on social media.
“From flame-grilled pitas to feel-good bowls, salads, chips and loukoumades. It is healthy, fast, and full of flavour.”
The new eatery will be among a handful of stores to open or be revitalised at the region’s biggest shopping centre in coming months.
