Historical information

These photographs, taken by The Advocate in 1991, were published as part of the newspaper’s ongoing column profiling local traders across the district.

These photographs feature a staff member of the Safeway Store located in the Sunshine Plaza, Hampshire Road, Sunshine.

At one time, Sunshine had two operating Safeway stores, this location and another within the newer Sunshine Marketplace. Eventually, this store was closed.

Significance

The Sunshine Advocate’s feature on local traders was a modest yet well‑liked column that played a meaningful role in strengthening community identity.

Through these regular profiles, the newspaper promoted local businesses and helped shape Sunshine’s understanding of its developing commercial district.
