Chincogan Store

Chincogan-StoreThe Chincogan Store is the corner store with a difference, staffed by people who call themselves 'a little crazy', who enjoy swapping inviting smiles with the happy, fun people (their customers) who make up what they consider to be the 'most caring community anywhere'.

There's a great variety of food and drinks in the store, as they have food for just about everyone – from buns, burgers and sandwiches (yes of course they do vegetarian and gluten free) to espresso coffee and cakes.

The Chincogan Store, which has a great mural painted on the side by local artist Daniel Hend, has been under the current ownership for over 10 years, and just quietly they think they have the best variety of food and drinks around. It's the place for quick, efficient service from their friendly staff who pride themselves on great customer service and cheap prices.

The NSW government has said there is nothing off the table in response to the latest shark incident. But it is vital that we don’t just start going out there and randomly culling sharks.
