Oh, I'm so sad. I I'm so used to going
in there and seeing their smiling faces and enjoying the
rice pudding and the roast chooks and salads and olives
and all that stuff that it's really good to offer.
So really sad to see them go, But I'm so
happy for them to finally sell the supermarket and enjoy
their retirement like they deserve.

catch up with money on the show tomorrow. But you know,
sometimes my daughter and I will go in there on
a Saturday and Manuel's busy as You'll go to me, Katie,

Greek desserts that.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I've never tried before.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
And that's you know, that's something I think that people
just love.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah, they absolutely do. I've been in there so many
times over the years and Manuel's always been so accommodating.
He takes you into his office and he sits down
and has a chat to you, and he tells you everything,
always offering you food and water. Ye can't feed you enough,
but no.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
And also, you know, over the years has given me,
you know, some really important information for the people of
Fanny Bay and around that area where there's been issues
of crime, there's been different issues that have unfolded, and
he is somebody who's always stood up for his community.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Absolutely. I went in and see him yesterday and had
a quick chat to him and I sort of said
to him, how are you feeling about everything? And he said,
he goes, you know, I'm a little bit sad. But
then he went on to talk about how he feels
like he's leaving the shop in a really good place.
He said, he feels like the area in and around
Fanny Bay has settled down a little bit recently, so
he's feeling really comfortable. His staff are all staying on
(02:26):
which is really amazing here. So he's feeling a little
bit sad, But I think this would be really good
for him, might be able to get to travel a
little bit, yees, spend more time with his grandkids.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah. Absolutely, Well, as I said, we will try. We
are going to have him on the show tomorrow, so
I'll be keen to find out, you know, what are
some of the more memorable moments for him over the years.
And look, I always love as well whenever you go
in there, he's got mixed one oh four.

you've planned for the sava Oft.

a sausages out the front. We'll chuck some sausages on
for people that come down. We've shared the love. We've
put some flyers out to the Fanny Bay community and
in and around the shops there, so hopefully we'll get
some people down. Manny and his family will be there
to say goodbye to people his last day or he'll
probably talk to you about it last day on Monday,
So hopefully we get few people down there. When we
were delivering some fliers, a lot of people didn't know
(03:22):
that he was leaving, so they were really happy to
sort of get the notification to come down and say
thank you. He's done a lot for the community.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
What time do they need to be there?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Five till about six thirty? Will chuck on the sausages.
M So, yeah, if anybody wants to come down from
that period of time or badly.

Completely, absolutely get down there and see Manual and Nitza.
They are phenomenal people and I know that they you know,
like over the years as well, they've had a lot
going on personally for Nitza as well in terms of
her health. So I think there's such a beautiful couple,
a wonderful family, and they do a lot to support
the community. You know, another year, I rocked up and

it was the day before.
Speaker 3 (03:59):

you got water? Have you got this? Have we got that?
I was like, I already do is it? Tell me
next time and I'll make sure I help you with it.

pudding because Knitza makes the best.

of work. I went down and met with the project
manager and he walked me through all of the changes
that they had to make. It wasn't a little job. Okay,

done is amazing. So it'll be really safe for the kids.
