Started with a fold-out table and a passion for fruit.
Ben's Banana Shed started in 2004 as a one-man operation on the side of the Nerang highway. Ben had a simple idea: buy direct from Queensland farmers, sell the same week, and never stock fruit that had been sitting in a cold store for months. Twenty years later, that's still exactly what we do.
What started as a small roadside stall has grown into a Gold Coast institution. We've built long-term relationships with growers across Tully, Bowen, Stanthorpe, and throughout Queensland and Northern NSW. When something special comes in — a bumper mango season, the first lychees of the year — our regulars know about it first.
We're family-run and proud of it. That means you'll often find Ben here himself, talking fruit with customers, loading boxes, and making sure every piece of produce that leaves the shed meets the standard he's been holding for 20 years.
