Summary
Woolworths in Dunlop is shutting down on September 29th — the only supermarket for miles, and its closure sends shockwaves through the community. For 11 years, Colin McLeod’s beloved coffee van, The Coffee Scroll, has thrived in its car park spot, fueled by store traffic. While Woolworths blames declining numbers and bigger nearby stores, locals argue Dunlop’s location is more accessible — especially for seniors and people with disabilities. Beyond groceries, the van is a neighborhood heartbeat, where Colin knows every regular by name — even comparing himself to Mr. Hooper. Now, without the store’s cameras for security, he’s scrambling to relocate to a nearby park, hoping to keep his community hub alive — as a petition with nearly 2,000 signatures proves locals won’t let this iconic spot disappear.
