In response to the recent flood emergency which ruined houses and businesses including their own service station in Rochester, Bowser Bean rolled up its sleeves to assist. The Bowser Bean team was not only able to refurbish its site in record time but was also able to aid in rebuilding community spirit in Rochester.
Rochester was completely inundated during the floods. Over a metre of water swept through the town devastating businesses and homes alike. The entire town was unable to trade which meant there was limited food available to local residents and flood relief workers.
Seeing this drama firsthand as their own team worked to restore its flood-impacted site, Bowser Bean decided to activate its mobile kitchen to feed and caffeinate Rochester residents and the volunteers who were in town managing the enormous recovery response.
For six consecutive days, the Bowser Bean mobile kitchen played a part in lifting community spirit by providing their famous burgers and delicious coffee free of charge. Not only did this provide the community with some much-needed fuel to assist with the massive clean-up effort but also provided a place to meet, converse and share hardships.
Bowser Bean Managing Director, Haydn Tierney, was humbled by this exercise “it was a privilege to be able to provide some assistance and I could not be prouder of my team. Over 2000 burgers, 1000 coffees, 500 sandwiches and a lot dim sims can make a difference to a small town trying to get back on its feet”.
As well as expressing gratitude to his team throughout the Bowser Bean network, Haydn was also grateful for the support of their suppliers in this community activation, BP, Beraldo Coffee, Moka, Angle Bay, Tip Top, Inghams, and Accredited Food Distributors.
