About Us

 

The hardworking Loo family have been in the fruit shop business in Mt Eden for more than seventy years. Sadly, Mr K.C. Loo passed away on 10 October 2016 and Mrs Eileen Loo passed away on 26 February 2023. Both were icons of Mt Eden. However, their legacy lives on via the family fruit shop.

You can read Eileen Loo's story here.
