Episode Details

A beloved family-run cafe, Townhouse Coffee Co and Cafe, has shut down in Eaton after just seven months — the second location for a business that once thrived for a decade in Bunbury. Owners say rising costs, relentless pressure, and a glaring lack of government support made survival impossible, calling the closure “heartbreaking.” They fought hard, made sacrifices, and cherished the community bonds their cafe fostered — but felt abandoned by systems meant to help. Other WA business owners echoed their pain, lamenting insufficient aid and the sheer difficulty of staying afloat. With their Bunbury spot also closing in June, the family’s dream is now over — but they urge the community to keep supporting local businesses, reminding everyone that behind every storefront is a heart, a family, and a story worth fighting for.
