Story

In 1999, Marcia Malouf-Evans established Marcia’s on Montague, a homewares gift store, at 325 Montague Road West End. Marcia has had a lifelong connection to the area, and through her father (Cecil), and her grandfather (James/Jim), this connection stretches back to the 1890s when her great grandfather, Abraham Malouf, was a storekeeper in Stanley Street South Brisbane. With her grandfather, father and mother all working in retail, her career choice also reveals a continuing thread. In about 2013, Marcia encouraged her eldest daughter to take over an unused section of their building and establish an organic supermarket. As a result, both Marcia and her daughter continue their family’s long connection to the area, to retail, and to self-employment.
