<p><strong>Amazons Family Fresh Markets at DFO Jindalee, the biggest fruit-and-vegetable market in the western suburbs, is bringing out the big guns, with the recent addition of two powerhouse talents to their team: the “Banana King of the West” and one of the best butchers in Brisbane.</strong></p>



<hr><p class="related"><strong><em>Read: <a href="https://centenarytoday.com.au/amazons-family-fresh-markets-jindalee/">Score Great Deals at the New Amazons Family Fresh Markets in Jindalee</a></em></strong></p><hr>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mel Habchi</h2>



<p>After many years trading at the Mt Ommaney Fruit Market, Mel Habchi and his staff have now joined the team at Amazons Family Fresh Markets.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>As the door closed on his lease at the Mount Ommaney Shopping Centre, a new door opened enabling Mel to continue sourcing and offering the freshest and best value fruit and veg in the Centenary area.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="970" src="https://centenarytoday.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/MelHabchi-1024x970.jpg" alt="Mel Habchi" class="wp-image-6980" srcset="https://centenarytoday.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/MelHabchi-1024x970.jpg 1024w, https://centenarytoday.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/MelHabchi-300x284.jpg 300w, https://centenarytoday.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/MelHabchi-768x727.jpg 768w, https://centenarytoday.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/MelHabchi-1200x1137.jpg 1200w, https://centenarytoday.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/MelHabchi.jpg 1267w" sizes="(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px" /><figcaption>Photo Credit: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mel.habchi.5/videos/10156903986966057">Mel Habchi/Facebook</a></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Mel has been called the &#8220;Banana King of the West.&#8221; Frankly, who can question his clout or buying prowess at the Brisbane fruit and veg markets when he&#8217;s able to offer fresh Cavendish bananas at $1.98 per kg when $4/kg is common at the major supermarkets (prices as of publishing date)?&nbsp;</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" width="768" height="1024" src="https://centenarytoday.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/MelOrange-768x1024.jpeg" alt=" Honey Murcott mandarins" class="wp-image-6981" srcset="https://centenarytoday.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/MelOrange-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https://centenarytoday.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/MelOrange-225x300.jpeg 225w, https://centenarytoday.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/MelOrange-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https://centenarytoday.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/MelOrange-1200x1600.jpeg 1200w, https://centenarytoday.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/MelOrange.jpeg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 85vw, 768px" /><figcaption>Photo Credit: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AmazonsFamilyFreshMarketsDFOJindalee">Facebook/Amazon Family Fresh Markets DFO Jindalee</a></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Huge boxes of Honey Murcott mandarins for $14.90. Broccoli at $2.98/Kg. All these make the big chain supermarkets look extremely expensive.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rodney Gaddes</h2>

<p>Along with Mel, another local legend who has joined the team is Rodney Gaddes, a butcher with over 30 years’ experience.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&#8220;I have been a butcher for more than 31 years, I was born on the farm and this is something I really love doing,&#8221; Rodney said, adding that he is happy to be joining the Amazons Family Fresh Markets team.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rodney has been filling the cabinets with quality meats that have shoppers making a beeline for his choice cuts.</p>
