New Good Sammy store opens with unique local twist

Good Sammy has launched in Leederville providing new jobs for people with disability, in its latest sustainable clothing and homewares retail store on Oxford Street next door to the iconic Re Store. 

Offering a local twist, the Good Sammy Leederville store features a custom mural designed and brought to life by local artist Yani Mengoni (pictured below with her mural) of Yani Mengoni Designs. 

The 45sqm mural extends 15 metres over two walls inside the new store and features well loved, popular Leederville hot spots including Luna Cinemas and The Leederville Hotel. It highlights Good Sammy’s values of being Brave, Good, Safe and Empowered and its mission to transform workplaces and society through disability employment. The mural is hand coloured with pops of Good Sammy’s signature yellow.  

“This is my first mural, the largest I’ve ever illustrated on a wall. One of my goals was to capture the character and personality of Leederville and celebrate local stories. I put my heart into this project. It’s going to be amazing having a new Good Sammy store in town, and I’m so glad to be part of it,” Yani Mengoni said. 

“As a proudly Western Australian for-purpose social enterprise, Good Sammy is thrilled to support local artists like Yani who brings to life our commitment to a sense of place and our important social mission,” Good Sammy Chief Executive Officer, Kane Blackman, said. 

Good Sammy Leederville opened its doors on 1 October 2024 and will trade 7 days per week.
