Welcome to the Retail Hot Spot!

The “Retail Hot Spot” is a central connection portal for all retail and hospitality businesses in the Burnie CBD and surrounds. Coordinated and maintained by Business Northwest, it offers anyone in the retail or hospitality business an opportunity to connect with each other and keep up to date with industry-specific and general business information. As a natural progression from Business Northwest’s focus on supporting business in Burnie and the North West Coast in general, we will be dedicating this page to presenting innovative ideas and opportunities for networking and connection for our retail and hospitality businesses. Information will have a retail and hospitality focus and will be updated on a regular basis.

To stay connected, simply sign up to our newsletter, or our Facebook page, or just bookmark this site in your browser.

SHOP SMALL, WIN BIG! promotion

Shop local. Upload your receipt. Win your money back.

To promote shopping local, Business Northwest and 7BU/SeaFM are running the ‘Shop Small, Win Big’ Easter-edition promotion from February 27 till March 31, 2026. When shoppers make a purchase at a participating local business, they will go into the draw to win back the cost of what they spent. Every day, one shopper will be chosen, with winners announced on Sea FM and across social media.

For your business to get involved the next time we do a promotion like this, email us at social@businessnw.com.au.

Got any good ideas?

As we move into generating content in this space for retailers and hospitality businesses, we want to make sure we are delivering content you find useful for your business. If you’d like to see anything specific, or you have some ideas about what we can do on this page, feel free to get in touch by email on social@businessnw.com.au.

We are a small group of volunteers that drive the programs and activities within Business Northwest. All of us have our own businesses along the coast, so we have limited resources at times to get things done. If you would like to volunteer some time to help out with any of the activities we are doing, get in touch via email on social@businessnw.com.au.
