Ziggys celebrates
Ziggys Fresh in Fyshwick was recognised at The Fresh Awards in Sydney in July, taking home the award for 2019’s Best Medium Greengrocer, with nominations for both their Fyshwick and Belconnen stores. “To be recognised for one of our stores would have been great, but to have both stores nominated and go on to win for Fyshwick was a dream come true!” said Ziggys owner Ken Irvine. Ziggys is hosting a whole month of celebrations at the Fyshwick Markets on Saturdays during August, starting this Saturday the 10th, with tastings, competitions and activities for the kids.
