Cottesloe General Store’s Greek-Inspired Revamp Under Local Owner Voula Nelson

Cottesloe Beach General Store changed hands in 2025 after 22 years under its previous owners. Its current owner, local resident Voula Nelson, describes the business as a café, grocery and beach-merchandise stop; a June 2025 report attributed to PerthNow also described a Greek-inspired refresh. The store is at 118 Marine Parade, Cottesloe WA 6011.

Who took over Cottesloe General Store?

PerthNow reported on 17 March 2025 that the store had been sold after 22 years under its previous owners. The business website identifies Voula as its owner. She says she has lived in Cottesloe for more than 20 years and previously owned and operated three businesses in the area.

In a statement published on the store’s website, Voula said: “It was an opportunity I couldn’t resist, so I came out of retirement to give my local community something fresh and new on Perth’s most famous beachfront.” The site also attributes to her a hospitality career of more than 30 years and describes her family as Greek migrant. Those are her own biographical statements, not independently verified records.
