About Us

Linda's Place is a family owned business, started by Linda and her husband Bailey. It began in the early eighties when Bailey who was an importer and wholesaler had an excess of stock, so one weekend Linda took some of it to the Springwood markets with the aim of converting it to cash. It went quite well, so they expanded their market stores to the Rockea and Story Bridge markets. In 1985 Paddy's Market opened in Fortitude Valley and wanted all of the stores to have a name - thus "Linda's Place" was born. Soon after they branched out into shopping centres, opening stores in Indooroopilly, Toowong Village, Fairfield Gardens and Westfield Toombul amongst others. Throughout the years Linda's Place have experimented with a diverse range of stock, from Cane furniture and baskets, rugs, cushions, posters and wooden furniture. In the early nineties Bailey went to Vietnam and became the first in Australia to import pots from there and eventually opened his own factory. The Vietnamese pots sold very well so we slowly dropped the other ranges and expanded our pots range. We found our niche - in the garden, specialising in plants, statues, water features and of course pots. Over the years Linda and Bailey sold off their Brisbane stores (which are all closed now) to concentrate on their Gold Coast stores where they were now locals. We now have the one location at Bundall where Linda, who still works 2 days a week, has built a legion of loyal customers that come for our friendly service, competitive prices and unique products.
