Wellness (and beauty) is the word at Brickworks Ferry Road and it really got us thinking, when is the last time you treated yourself?

We get it—life gets busy, and sometimes self-care takes a backseat. But trust us, with these wellness wonders you’ll want to put yourself first, whether it’s just for an hour or the whole day.

A foodie and shopping haven from way back, we’d forgive you for missing that it also just happens to be one of the Coast’s best spots for a spot of pampering – yep, what can’t Brickworks do?!

A Market that’s so much more than Standard

They call it The Standard Market Company and we think it’s because they set the standard for quality and freshness.

In fact, we’d say they’re more along the lines of un-pea-lievable (see what we did there).

The Brickworks location has been a favourite among locals since 2006 when the team burst onto the Gold Coast grocery scene, bringing a boutique shopping experience that put the big guys to shame.

Because who doesn’t want to feel a little bit boujee doing their weekly shop?

With a background in the fruit and veg spanning four decades, founder Darren Frame saw a space that no one was nailing – bringing the highest quality, fresh produce to customers.

And there The Standard Market Company that we know and love was born.

Some of the team head straight to Rocklea Markets bright and early to select the best quality fruit and vegetables, that are then transported daily to the stores for us all to enjoy.

Thankfully for us, Darren didn’t stop at just fruit and veg, The Standard Market Company has quickly become a one stop shop with the whole hog on offer including a butcher (see what we did there), deli, bakery and gelato to sweeten the deal.

Darren’s passion for produce quickly saw them rally up the best bakers and pastry chefs the city had to offer, along with expert butchers to bring one of the biggest ranges of hand-crafted sweet treats and meats with specialty produce you can’t find anywhere else.

If you’re a charcuterie lover (if you aren’t, we’re judging you) the deli will delight the senses with cheeses, cured meats the biggest range of hand-marinated olives we’ve ever seen – if you like a little kick we’re big fans of the chilli kind – or a gourmet bbq chook to take the stress out of meal prep #fancy.

So when it comes to sourcing the finest ingredients, creating gourmet delights, and providing a one-stop haven for food lovers, I suppose you could say The Standard Market Company has been doing a berry, berry good job of it.

Now we’re the first ones to say that all that shopping is hungry work, so luckily for you there’s also some delish dining options to help squash the cravings.

This family-owned gem has some of our favourite foodie spots nestled alongside them – hello Pearl & Ash – for a post-shopping pitstop.

Or Quench your thirst at their iconic juice bar where you can grab a green juice because #health and a quick bite because we get it, you’re busy.

In the name of being a family affair, Darren and Nikki have rounded up their troops with the whole fam having special roles across the business, you’ll find Darren on the floor five days a week, while Nikki keeps the back of house running smoothly and the kids lending a helping hand across all areas of the business.

But they’re more than just a Gold Coast success story, the Frame’s have expanded across two more locations in Brisbane at James St Markets and of course, Gasworks in Newstead, where Darren’s eldest son Chris Frame is the General Manager.

The Frame’s employ more than 170 Gold Coaster’s keeping it local and we love to see it.

The Standard Market Company is a true family-owned business, owned and operated by Darren and Nikki.

Their mission is simple: to set the standard in food retail by providing customers with the highest quality gourmet foods and ingredients, coupled with friendly and knowledgeable customer service – sounds like a winning combo to us.

If you’re looking for the best, freshest, and most delicious ingredients, The Standard Market Company is the only place to go.
