South Yarra

Yeah, the countdown's on.

Frostbite is coming back to Chapel Street, South Yarra, in less than two weeks, Saturday the 14th of November.

Everyone's welcome.

Turn up.

Well, Hayne, were you? Because wait for it, drumroll.

The nightclub we are bringing back, November 14th, Saturday night,

Frostbite, South Yarra, Chapel

Street.

And they gave me an in with some of the bigger barbers in Melbourne, just like a little apprenticeship.

And, yeah, I ended up finishing that course and my first shift was Turack Road in South Yarra.

I was like, how did I do that? Yeah.

So I guess I'm okay with barbering.

No, I'm doing scaffolding at the moment.

And, yeah, they're like, oh, yeah, we like what we hear.

Can we get you in for a test run? And that was in Como Centre at South Yarra.

And I did come up with a one-minute pitch.

Seem to be our tips.

Curtis from South Yarra.

G'day, Curtis.

Hi, Curtis.

Because unless you have volume where you can, all of a sudden, when you've got volume, you can deliver 10 gifts in the same suburb.

But when you don't, you've got one in Footscray won in Essendon, won in South Yarra, won in Paran and you're like how do you make that work from a numbers point of view? But that was like I found that fun, like it was a game.

So you had to try and hone the top of the funnel sales and the bottom of the funnel costs.

So how long did it take for you to start turning over enough money or enough revenue to feel like, okay, we're on to a winner here?

Members 120 and 121.

Laura's in South Yarra.

Hello, Laura.

Oh, hello, Simon.

It used to be like in the 90s, the noughties, the 2010s, it was pumping and it's just gotten a little, um, like Gen Z, they're just, they're having their matcha drinks and they're going to, you know, um, hot yoga, but we want to, we want them to experience what an old school nightclub is.

So I want to ask, and it frostbites, Chapel Street, South Yarra was iconic and it did have the slushy machines, but why, What was a young Larry Emdur like on the nightclub scene? King of the Cross.

Well, I

was

You know, nightclubs, yeah, they're around, but not like when the clubbing scene was lit up from the west to the north to the east to the south, the nightclub trail.

And I loved it because you'd have a, where are we starting? And then where are we heading? And then when do we end up? And often...

Chapel Street, South Yarra was involved.

It's central.

Yep.

And then there's always that like, you know, am I making the right decision? Am I making the wrong decision? And even, you know, case and I, we live in South Yarra and there's a building going up in front of where we rent.

And we started looking at rental properties in the area to go, well, maybe we can rent somewhere else.

Uh, we'll buy the old buy where you can afford rent where you want to live type thing.

But these rents have gone up too.

Yep.

And that's an exact consideration, like living in Chapel Street, South Yarra, 10 minutes from the city versus being comfortable 10, 20 minutes further out towards the southeast.

There's a considerable difference in the rent on what we're paying versus what's there.
