Our Story 

Ken Little’s journey is one of passion, perseverance, and community spirit. 

Ken starts his day with a surf, embracing the coastal lifestyle that has been a part of him since moving to Port Macquarie at the age of 10. After catching the morning waves, he heads to work at the fruit and vegetable store he founded nearly 40 years ago, Mr Little’s, a business built on dedication and resilience.

Mr Little’s has grown into a thriving enterprise that employs 45 staff members, but the journey has not been without its challenges.

Established in 1983, originally located in central Port Macquarie, Mr Little’s faced a major setback in 1995 when a new shopping centre was built nearby, significantly reducing foot traffic. Undeterred, Ken made the bold decision to relocate, and the business regained momentum. But fate had more trials in store. In 2006, a minor fire damaged the shopfront, and just two years later, a devastating blaze completely destroyed the store.

He rebuilt from the ground up, driven by the support of his loyal customers and friends. 

His story is a testament to resilience and the power of community.
Beyond his business, the ocean remains Ken’s sanctuary. Surfing each morning provides him with a sense of balance, a connection to nature, and a close-knit group of friends who share in his love of the waves.
