Die \u201cjuweel van Worcester\u201d, Q square, se ontstaan kan teruggespoor word na byna 90 jaar. En vandag is hierdie heerlike sentrum in die hart van Worcester steeds \u2019n ware sakekern.<\/p>\n
Q square, wat eers as Qu\u00e9net\u2019s Arkade bekend gestaan het, het sy ontstaan in 1934 gehad. <\/p>\n
Leon Qu\u00e9net het \u2019n fotografie-ateljee, \u2019n musiekwinkel en \u2019n pottebakkerywinkel langs Qu\u00e9net\u2019s Apteek geopen. Sy pa, George Alfred Qu\u00e9net, het Quenet\u2019s Apteek bedryf en ook ongefermenteerde wyn gemaak, wat geheelonthouers vir nagmaal kon gebruik. <\/p>\n
Hierdie twee ondernemings was met \u2019n deurloop verbind. N\u00e1 die skuif van Meiring & Qu\u00e9net Chemists and Druggists van Kerkstraat na Hoogstraat in 1934, het di\u00e9 onderneming se naam na Qu\u00e9net\u2019s Apteek verander.<\/p>\n
Die Qu\u00e9net\u2019s het in die 1950\u2019s besluit om die De Jong-gebou uit te brei en winkels te skep wat verhuur kon word om bykomende inkomste te genereer. <\/p>\n
Hier was winkels soos die vroue-uitruster Pam\u2019s Fashions, wat gele\u00eb was waar Beluchi\u2019s vandag is. Ook die bekende kunstenaar Jean Welz se vrou, Inger Welz, het \u2019n winkel aan die linkerkant langs Pam\u2019s gehad, waar Qu\u00e9net\u2019s Jag & Hengel vandag is. <\/p>\n
Inger Welz het gespesialiseer in ingevoerde Deense pottebak-kerskuns en ander antieke ware. Haar winkel was \u2019n geskenkwinkel wat in tuisdekor spesialiseer het. Langs haar was eens April Showers-bloemiste, wat vandag nog \u2013 47 jaar later \u2013 ook in Q square \u2019n tuiste het. Aan die agterkant van die Arkade was Alf Taylor se manshaarsnysalon. <\/p>\n
Aan die regterkant was Lew Strydom se fotografie-ateljee. Lew Strydom het in onder meer skool- en spanfoto\u2019s spesialiseer. <\/p>\n
In \u2019n stadium het \u2019n mevrou Brewis ook \u2019n haarsalon in die Arkade bedryf en op \u2019n tydstip was daar ook \u2019n agentskap vir \u2019n naaimasjienmaatskappy in die Arkade.<\/p>\n
En vandag, 89 jaar nadat hul voorvader die Qu\u00e9net\u2019s se eerste sakeonderneming hier begin het, woeker die gesin nog in die bedryf.<\/p>\n
Die vyfde geslag aptekers uit die Qu\u00e9net-familie staan vandag agter die voorskriftoonbank by Qu\u00e9net\u2019s Apteek, wat deesdae as The Local Choice Pharmacy Qu\u00e9net\u2019s bekend staan. <\/p>\n
Juis hierdie geslagte lange familieverbintenis tot die apteek dra tot die sukses van die onderneming by.<\/p>\n
Hier is George van der Vyfer aan die stuur saam met nog drie aptekers, met \u2019n wye reeks produkte en dienste.<\/p>\n
Wat The Local Choice Pharmacy Qu\u00e9net\u2019s uniek maak, benewens die verskaffing van medikasie, is die afgeronde gesondheidspakkette wat hy aan sy klante bied. Qu\u00e9net\u2019s bied kliniekdienste soos bloeddrukmonitering, bloedglukose-monitering, cholesterol-siftingstoetse, MIV-toetse en hemoglobien-toetse.<\/p>\n
Terselfdertyd streef die apteek daarna om in alle ander gesondheidsbehoeftes te voorsien, soos gesondheidsaanvullings en pasi\u00ebnthulpmiddels. <\/p>\n
Qu\u00e9net\u2019s is ook die enigste geregistreerde reiskliniek in die Boland. <\/p>\n
Qu\u00e9net\u2019s Apteek bied verder \u2019n wye verskeidenheid skoonheidsreekse in sy skoonheidsafdeling en is ook baie bekend vir sy uitstekende fotografiese dienste en toerusting.<\/p>\n
Nog in die Qu\u00e9net\u2019s-stal is die immergewilde Qu\u00e9net\u2019s Hunting & Fishing, wat deur Willie Augustyn bestuur word, met \u2019n wye verskeidenheid jag- en hengel-toebehore, saam met die personeel se vriendelike en eerstehandse kennis van als in die bedryf.<\/p>\n
Q square is vandag \u2019n luukse leefstylsentrum met iets vir almal.<\/p>\n
Die beste biefstuk word by Hussar Grill in Q square aangetref.<\/p>\n
Verder is die Stockenstrohm-gedeelte van Q square opgegradeer met \u2019n Capitec-tak wat binnekort open.<\/p>\n
Q square is as \u2019t ware die \u201chart van Worcester\u201d waar iets vir almal se genot te kry is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
