Like the town in which it is set, Flinders General Store surprises visitors with the amount it has to offer. Enjoy coffee and a snack or stock up on supplies at this iconic store before or after hitting the beach, rock pools, art galleries or golf course.
Still going strong since its first appearance on Cook St in 1866 when Mrs Brent established the store, running the post office on the premises until 1881, Flinders General Store combines the charm of yesteryear with the convenience of today’s shopping experience.
Wooden floorboards where fishermen once stood to collect mail and supplies are now laden with crates of colourful fruit and vegetables. Products representing the best of the region sit on shelves alongside familiar brands.
Whether you’re staying on or passing through, Flinders General Store has everything you need. There are take-home meals and pantry basics if you plan on being in town for a while, and you’ll find ingredients for a great sandwich or charcuterie board if your day includes picnicking while exploring. There are delicious pies by Johnny Ripe; artisan breads by Peninsula’s Baker Boys and The Red Hill Baker; relishes, chutneys and jams from Red Hill Kitchen; and wines and craft beers from the likes of Baillieu Vineyard, Foxeys Hangout and Red Hill Brewery.
Add Flinders General Store to your list for a seaside shopping experience reflecting the heart of the Peninsula.
