How brothers are growing their Sunshine Coast family business with a third store

The Sunshine Coast’s largest family-owned and operated lawn and garden maintenance and supply business has opened its third local store.

Sunshine Coast Mowers now has a store on the corner of Production and Textile Avenue at Kawana Waters.

Initially at Mooloolaba, SCM was purchased by David Cook in 2002 and in 2012 his sons Hayden and Gerard bought the business and continued his legacy by opening a store in Caloundra in late 2014, following David’s passing earlier that year.

Hayden said while Mooloolaba will always be their flagship store, they simply ran out of space to hold all their stock, as well as their growing maintenance workshop.

“We are really excited to open a new store in Kawana. It’s 290m2 of space with plenty of onsite and offsite parking, plus we are on a corner so we have great street exposure for the passing traffic,” he said.

“We now employ 25 staff across all stores and while our maintenance and repair teams will be based at Kawana and Caloundra we’ll still have a great variety of stock to sell across all three stores. We will also be opening our first hire service where people can come and hire any mowing or garden equipment from us.”
