Harris Farm Markets has plans to recruit new staff as they open a newer flagship Queensland market — one that might possibly be the greatest market they’ve built yet — at West Village in West End.
Following the success of their first Brisbane branch in Clayfield, Harris Farm Markets intends to set up in West End. To seek out the best potential employees, a recruitment pop-up will be set up on The Common at West Village, Boundary Street from March 5-6 and March 12-13. Interested locals are encouraged to meet with members of the company face-to-face and discuss job opportunities.
With a grand total of 150 spots available, West End locals interested in applying can find windows across senior and junior levels for permanent, temporary, and part-time jobs in the upcoming West End market. “We particularly want to welcome passionate, hard-working food enthusiasts to join the team,” says Harris Farm Markets co-CEO Luke Harris.
Employees are also entitled to a 25% discount on some of the grocery’s products such as fruit and vegetables, among other things. Mr. Harris adds, “Supporting local is key for us. We source from local farmers and suppliers, create job opportunities for locals, and we really want to become part of the Brisbane community by employing Brisbane’s best”.
Harris Farm Markets’ West End branch is set to take over part of the Peters Ice Cream building. “If Clayfield is our historic family home in Brisbane, then West End will be the greatest urban market we have built yet.” says Mr. Harris.
Those interested in applying can visit the Careers page of their website. Further details on job opportunities and Harris Farm Markets in general can be found by visiting their recruitment pop-up at The Common at West Village, West End.

The Garden Pantry is where one will find al fresco dining, tropical-inspired indoor dining, and grab-and-go options while enjoying the Light Garden by Luxxbox — an interactive display of 2500 light reeds scattered around and lighting up the parkland at night.

Salt Meats Cheese, or SMC, is an Italian eatery serving fully plant-based vegan and vegetarian wood fired pizza with cured meats as adds-ons. SMC will also feature a botanical cocktail bar made extra special with hand made infusions and ingredients from Australian native herbs. Lastly, Fresh coffee, roasted and served daily via their new business, “The Laneway Coffee Roasters by SMC”.
Cheeky Poke Bar serves Hawaiian-and-Japanese-inspired Poke bowls like the Salmon-GF (sashimi salmon, coconut turmeric rice, cabbage, kale, cucumber, wakame, pickled ginger, wasabi mayo, taro crisps, 64-degree egg, cheeky nori, sesame, togarashi, and salt) and Prawn-GF (fresh mooloolaba prawns, coconut turmeric rice, cabbage, beetroot, daikon, wakame, enoki, sriracha mayo, puffed rice, avocado, cheeky nori, sesame, togarashi, and salt).
Cheeky takes pride in the fact that it sources its fresh seafood from older sibling Fresh N Wild Fish. They also serve protein options for those who have an intolerance to seafood such as Chicken-GF (chicken, brown rice, spinach, carrot, beetroot, corn, creamy asian sauce, wasabi peas, avocado, cheeky nori, sesame, togarashi, and salt).
Mr Bunz offers a taste of the East with their signature bao buns — fluffy steamed buns — filled with either crackling roasted pork belly, crispy spiced fried chicken, or Peking duck with crispy skin.
