“THE BEST TIME TO GO FISHING IS WHEN YOU CAN!”
While the origins of this old proverb remain uncertain, it aptly reflects our current situation.
Family has always been central to Princess Charlotte Seafoods. The birth of my son inspired me to move my trawler business to a land-based business, and now, prioritising more time with family and being back on the water, has led us to make the difficult decision to say farewell. Dave and Kim are going out on a high and closing Princess Charlotte Seafoods. Over the years, we have dedicated ourselves with love and hard work to building Princess Charlotte Seafoods.
We are continually amazed by its growth and the opportunity to serve our customers in Virginia, New Farm, Hendra, Enoggera and the many others that travelled far and wide to purchase our quality seafood. We have explored various options to scale back operations or to sell the business, but we have not converted a suitable solution that meets our personal deadline. Therefore, we have reached the decision to close the business on the 26th July.
Having invested over 20 years into this venture, our priority remains maintaining the high standards of quality and service that have earned us a strong reputation. Our customers deserve nothing less. It is a difficult choice, but we want to inform you first, our valued customers, that I am moving on to my next phase in life (not sure on the word retirement just yet), and will be closing the business on 26th July.
Yes, you read correctly. Princess Charlotte Seafoods will cease operations on the 26th of July. Until then it will be business as usual.
- The Virginia Factory and Shand Street, Enoggera site’s last trading day is Friday 25 July.
- New Farm and Hendra Motors will operate on Saturday 26 July as their last market and pop-up.
We are proud to have contributed to many memorable occasions—Christmas feasts, Easter gatherings, family reunions, weekend barbecues, and dinner parties with friends—enhanced by our reliable, quality seafood. We wish you all the very best and feel proud to leave you charged with the knowledge of what quality seafood should look and taste like, so you are well equipped to scrutinize your future seafood purchases.
I’m not the one usually in front of the camera, but I leave you with this personal message and thank you again for your loyalty and trust for over 20 years.
Yours sincerely,
Dave and Kim
Thanks again for your support.
