A bit of bad news
November 14, 2024 in Business
Updated December 5, 2024

The operators of The Hub pizza bar have announced a temporary closure of the shop until further notice. As this follows the closure of Brazen Burgers in the same location it looks very likely that Oberon has lost another business. Oberon Matters will be following this story with a little bit of optimism (but not too much).
It looks like that optimism was unfounded. Click to see why.

Brazen Burgers closes the shop
October 17, 2024 in Business

In a piece of very bad news, Brazen Burgers will close on October 20, 2024. The reasons are several but had nothing to do with the quality of the food or service. Sometimes family matters and logistics take precedence over the rest of life.

Oberon Matters wishes Carson and Marlon all the best for the future.

The closure of the cafe will not affect The Hub pizza bar, which will continue to operate from the same premises.

Now on to the finals.

August 29, 2024 in Community and Business

Oberon is noted for its generosity, and one way that this is shown is by the level of support for things happening around the area. The Oberon Business and Tourism Association Inc is very grateful to the businesses of Oberon which generously sponsored the 2024 Oberon Business Awards.
