As we enter 2026, Springett’s celebrates 100 years in the
Southern Highlands – stay tuned for events and activities to celebrate
this landmark anniversary.
The Springett Family established themselves in Bowral when they opened
a general store in 1926. Two decades later, the Springett Family expanded
this general store into a bakery and soft-drinks plant. These buildings were
the first to distribute soft drinks and sliced bread in the Highlands, and
the soft drinks plant was the first plant to make the soft drink Passiona in
Australia. In 1972, the Springett Family moved to its current address on
Bong Bong Street and opened Springett’s Arcade as we know it now.
Springett’s family members are still managing this beautifully preserved
historic arcade that hosts 53 retail businesses and services for the area
to this day.
