One interesting additions to the bakery section is a popcorn baking section which bakes and bags fresh pop-corn right there in the store.
Bush Cookies Section

Fresh Seafood, Deli & Cheese Shop Counters

Pep Tea - Organic, Sugar Free, Kombucha
Kombucha drinks are rapidly spreading for the popularity of their health benefits. This is because raw kombucha drinks, when brewed correctly, are loaded with kombucha probiotics that are very good for your gut health.
Humans often suffer from the life-long effects of consuming food and drink that is overloaded with the wrong fats, salt & sugars, plus artificial colours and flavours. Many things can contribute to destroying the good gut bacteria our bodies need and regular consumption of the right probiotics can rectify that.
As featured on ABC's landline, Pep Tea's kombucha is; Totally Organic, Sugar Free and raw. Its also loaded with genuine kombucha probiotics. Newcastle's own Kombucha, Its brewed right here in the Hunter Valley.
Ritchies carry all four flavours of the Pep Tea brand Kombucha, both in their drinks fridge near the front of the store and also in the grocery Isle with other drinks. Only $3.20 for a larger 350ml Bottle.
