Tenants at Toombul Shopping Centre say they’re devastated the centre will not reopen after February’s devastating floods. 

The centre’s owner, Mirvac, has decided the flood damage it suffered earlier this year is too extensive to repair.

Bill Pippos, who owned Fruits Of Eden and Eleni’s Gourmet Deli, told Neil Breen it’s been a tough few months without income.

“It’s the saddest thing that I’ve ever been involved in,” he said. “I mean, we had a tremendous business, a lot of people in there had tremendous businesses.

“There’s half a dozen or more restaurants upstairs that were basically untouched, you have the cinemas untouched, McDonalds unthoched.

“These guys have just been told ‘see you later’, which as I said, is devastating for everyone.”
