The evolution of Ricks really is like opening a time capsule! With a history dating back to 1962 when the now loved diner was a local two pump garage and automotive workshop owned by Steve Russ. In 2002, the Garage was purchased by the Jamieson family and rebranded Palmwoods Auto Care.
In the 12 years to follow, husband and wife team, Rick and Lisa toiled hard. Spinning spanners and pumping fuel. Trying their luck at different ventures as the opportunity arose. A convenience store was added to the site as well as a DVD shop and fast food outlet. 2014 was the year their direction changed. New legislation for the sale of fuel meant the bowsers no longer met the environmental standards. Shutting down the businesses primary source of income. Needless to say, it was a testing year for them. Their attention quickly shifted forcing them to focus on other opportunities.
Food and beverage was the fix. They started out selling bacon and egg rolls to Motorbike riders chasing an adventure through the hinterland. As trade grew so did their hours and their offering. In 2016 they found their groove, got a liquor license and tailored the brand to focus on vintage motoring.
Ricks Garage was born.
This ever-evolving Palmwoods licensed Restaurant and Bar is dedicated to delivering a dining experience more than just awesome food and delicious drinks. The now beer garden that runs on the adjacent block was at one time the scrap yard! Littered with car bodies and anything mechanical. Yes, one of the many picking yards for the memorabilia that line the walls today. As one of the busiest venues on the Sunshine Coast employing upwards of 55 permanent and casual staff Ricks Garage is motoring like a dream.
