3 years ago I was beginning my final semester of Design st University. 🎨 I had already hatched the idea for Serotonin but felt the need to fast track my dreams. After eating a diet high in tryptophan for 2 years and feeling jump out of my skin happy! I had to share it!! I undertook an extra business subject and embarked on a 3 month business plan project. It was here where the location search began. I circled an area of Melbourne, including Richmond, that I deemed appropriate and suitable for the location. Being the centre of Melbourne and accessible from both North & South sides, I drove the streets for a month. Funnily enough, returning to the very first place I had found. It was here at 52 Madden Grove, Burnley, that I decided to create my happiness centre. Keeping in mind at the time of my business plan project the site was still a working Milk Bar and wasn't even for lease. No longer than a few months after my course finished, I drove past finding the property up for lease. This was the start of my journey! Even the state you can see in the picture above, I could already picture exactly what I wanted. Comfy Japanese tatami booths, swings, a take-away window and a big open, dog friendly courtyard!! I can't thank my staff, our locals and all of you for believing in my dream and enjoying all that the happiness centre has to offer each day!! 🙌🏼🙋🏼✨🌈😘 #askbelievereceive #babysteps #doesnthappenovernight It's my goal to teach everyone how to achieve natural happiness too 😊✨ (at Serotonin Eatery, Exercise + Education)
