PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 5 weeks agoOut of curiosity I googled “Melbourne pie shop closing down” and… wow, so many! Too many in the past few years 😢(My local is hanging on, but business rental prices in my area have skyrocketed and a lot of shops that have been there for years have closed. Including my beloved computer repair guy who’d been there since 1986 or something.)

These guys it’s both rent and ingredients. They refuse to use shit and would apparently have to charge $14 a pie to keep as is 😿
