A new flavour has been added to Old Perth Road with the opening of Kishan Jee Indian Grocery Store. I have yet to sample the delights within, but I was very happy to see this new addition to our Downtown shopping area. I will be dropping in soon – perhaps today during the Planet Earth Festival happening this afternoon.
Having a vibrant Downtown is one of the perks of living in Bassendean. Unfortunately, quite lot of businesses closed in Old Perth Road this year and I was beginning to fear we would be left with the Library, the Bank and some boarded up shops. Fortunately, there still folks out there with the dream of owning their own business even in these time of economic uncetainity.
I will be checking out the businesses along Old Perth Road and commenting in future posts. In the meantime, please give these intrepid pioneers of mixed retail some of your disposable and check back here to let me know what you think.

im thinking of leasing a shop on old perth road and turning it into a gift store, another good thing would be a 70′s style cafe/bar where you have jukeboxes and 70′s style dining. old perth road lacks in many things esp the shops! we have so many hair dressers, chemists, real estates. nothing brings people up the end, even the hotel is poor, the inside needs a major refurb. by the way, any updates on this site soon?
