If you’re in need of a sugar fix mid-shopping trip, pop along to The Grafton Centre’s newest trader: Lo’s Cheesecake Emporium. Shoppers can create their dream dessert, choosing between a huge selection of toppings including Love Hearts, meringue, biscuits, marshmallows, pretzels, popcorn and more. It’s the brainchild of Georgia Wills, who started the business around two and a half years ago as a side hobby. “I catered for friends and family,” she says. “My social life started to disappear, because this became my passion!” After recovering from a serious illness and lengthy hospital stay, Georgia decided to enter the Grow at The Grafton contest for free space at the centre for enterprising entrepreneurs. “Lo’s isn’t just about the delicious cheesecake,” explains Georgia. “It’s an exciting, fun and happy experience for everyone involved. Lo’s can offer a variety of choice which I’d like to think will please everyone’s taste buds.” LO’S CHEESECAKE EMPORIUM
