Business increases

Michel's Patisserie at Peninsula Plaza has increased its business by about 30 per cent in its first year, according to proprietor Mr Lynn Tippett.

Peninsula residents Lynn and Paulette Tippett took over the business and now employ 17 other Peninsula residents.

The business trades seven days from 6.30am and the owners believe that the secret to their success is quick service and quality product.

"People these days don't want to wait to be served and they don't want to wait too long for their order," Mr Tippett said.

The business sponsors a lawn bowls tournament held at Woy Woy Bowling Club.

It also provides cakes for local charities.

Michel's at Woy Woy is one of only 10 of the 190 Michel's franchises to have a sandwich bar.
