With recent expansion into Melbourne—a city McCloskey long admired but hesitated to enter— new opportunities have emerged.“Melbourne’s food scene is phenomenal.There’s been some competition with Sydney, but being so well-received there has been incredible. We’re focusing more of our efforts there in 2025.” The company’s recent partnership with Coco Republic is also opening new avenues. The Fresh Collective now runs Coco Republic’s restaurants and cafés across multiple cities under the La Americana brand. “It’s not branded as us, but we’re behind it—and it’s been a wonderful collaboration.” And more is on the horizon. “We’ve just signed up for a new project called Home, which provides food and beverage for high-end build-to-rent facilities. Again, it’s about aligning with partners who share our vision for excellence and care.” PREFERRED VENDOR/PARTNER n Single O www.singleo.com.au Single O is a coffee-crazed crew who source and roast specialty grade beans, while doing their bit for the planet - No Death To Coffee!
