Thirsty? Palmwoods Hotel opens new Bottleshop at Forest Glen

Mitch Kelly says business has already been strong at the new bottleshop next to White’s IGA at Forest Glen. 

Forest Glen Cellars opened late last year and is the third bottle shop under the Palmwoods Hotel umbrella.

“This is a really exciting expansion,” said Marketing Manager, Cassie Orreal. “For the owners, Rick and Keri Gazzard, this is the first outlet east of the Bruce Highway. The other six venues in the Bayblue Management group are located in the Hinterland,” she said.

“There is so much growth in the area, it seemed like a wonderful opportunity to bring the product range and friendly service that the Palmwoods Hotel is famous for, to the Coast.”

Forest Glen Cellars will be managed by Kelli Hewson, whom Palmwoods locals will know well from her years at the Palmwoods pub.

“Kelli has so much experience and product knowledge,” Cassie said. “She was the perfect fit to take on the new shop.”

Shoppers can expect to find the same range of popular products at Forest Glen Cellars as at the Palmwoods Hotel and Palmwoods Cellars.

“We will also be offering the same fortnightly specials that our regular customers look forward to,” said Cassie.
