Bruce Rock, WA establishes temporary supermarket at Shire Hall after lone market lost in fire

Bruce Rock, WA Temporary Supermarket Shire Hall

In Progress

Shire officials worked with regional businesses to stock and store food items at the council building. The Bruce Rock Supermarket employs former staff at the Masons Shopping Centre to handle shipments and customer orders. Local residents request food and supplies for pickup by phone, email, or paper form. Bruce Rock created the temporary market within one week of the shop's destruction to eliminate the 100-kilometer trip to the nearest grocery store.
