Our New Location - We're In Arundel, Gold Coast.

Sep 8, 2021by Peta Booker

We've settled in at our new location now, time to jot down a few thoughts about our big move! Firstly, who even am I? What started as an interest in making my daughters food fun to eat has turned into Australia's leading, and most trusted, bento lunch box store. Wowzas! Still takes me by surprise every day, I feel like a regular mum with a little side hustle but it's a tad bigger than that now, people keep telling me!

You'll no longer find me doing everything, I'm super lucky to not only have a team of amazing, equally passionate and experienced staff but I also have my husband onboard full time now. We spread our talents and expertise across all departments ensuring every order, every customer experience is as perfect as possible. We LOVE what we do, and we sure hope it shows!

I adored our little showroom and warehouse at Helensvale on the Gold Coast. Together we made it a hive of buzzing activity every day, and your continued support of my small business kept us busy, busy bees! So much so, we outgrew that location 1 year into a 3 year lease! We held on as much as possible, expanding out into off site storage, but after 2 years it was time to move, we needed more showroom space, more warehouse space and more staff to keep running as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

And so, here we are! Arundel Business Park on the Gold Coast. Just 5 minutes from our last location, it's a hop, skip and a jump from the Gold Coast's beautiful beaches in central Arundel. A big and beautiful space at the front of the complex with lots of on site and street parking and an onsite cafe! As you pull into Distribution Court you can't miss our glowing buzzy bee on our building. Come for a drive by early morning or evening and you'll see her shining bright as she lights up too!

The Bento Buzz Showroom Entrance Gold Coast

Our showroom is now open Monday to Thursday, yes four days a week! It's bright and colourful and contains everything you'll find on our website so you can see, touch and play with our entire range. This new, larger showroom means we have plenty of space so incorporating a kids table with activities was the first thing I added in so parents can browse a little easier. Popped an order through online? Pick up is during the same opening hours from our warehouse door, we'll have your order ready and an email to let you know it's time to collect as soon as possible.

So, where will you find us? We're at 8 Distribution Court, Arundel. Unit 26 which is the very 1st one right at the front, look for our buzzing bee and you simply cannot miss us! Pop in Monday to Thursday from 10am-2pm to shop in person (yes we have Afterpay in store too!) or pop an order through our website and click & collect.

We can't wait to see you, please let us know your thoughts on our new space when you do!
