ROCKHAMPTON’S main street has seen a flurry of activity lately with a handful of new shops opening in East St.

The latest new business opened this week with Little Poppy, a takeaway café serving food and coffees.

The café is located next to Silly Sollys and has been opened by the owners of the café 45 East, formerly The Workshop.

Crazy Clarks has announced they are opening a Christmas shop on October 24.

It is to be located at 103 East St, which is the former Radio Rentals store.

Yeppoon retail shop Hippie Garage is also in the midst of doing a shop fit out to open a store in East St.

The Yeppoon store opened in mid-2017 and sells coffee, clothing and homewares.

Down the other end of East St near the Oxford Hotel, Le Craft Industries opened last month.

The business is a collective of cosmetic artists offering services of cosmetic tattooing on brows, lips, eyeliner and freckles, traditional tattooing, body piercing, brow lamination, professional makeup and lash extensions.
