For such a simple, short word, “yes” has incredible power. Yes, I will. Yes, we can. It’s a word businesswoman Janine Allis has used to her advantage over the past few years, and which, she says, has led to “really interesting” things happening. Allis is now appearing in her third reality television program in 10 years but sees it as a new adventure from which to learn, and from which new friendships will be forged. It’s a fascinating discussion with Peter Barrett in this week’s cover story. ●

COVER STORY

Boost Juice founder Janine Allis spills the secrets of good business, and explains why she loves reality television.

Serving it up

A

few years ago, two dozen Australian Survivor contestants wiggled their toes in the sand of a remote Fijian beach and contemplated the 50 days ahead.

They would have to hunt for their food, battle the elements and engage each other in sustained, unrelenting mental warfare until there was only one left.

It sounds stressful. But, oddly, it did not to one contestant. “The thing that worried me the most is I like being busy,” says Janine Allis, the 55-year-old Boost Juice Bars founder, mother of four,

“Every day, you wake up and go, ‘OK, right. What’s today going to hold?’” grandmother of two and a self-made businesswoman reportedly worth $66 million.

“I’m addicted to busy. And I thought, oh my god, what am I going to do all day? You do the fire, you cook the beans, you do a challenge: what do you do the rest of the day?”

It turns out Allis had no trouble occupying herself, making it deep into the series before being voted off the island on day 44.

But, of course, Allis was no stranger to reality television. She began her on-screen career in 2010 with Undercover Boss and then followed up with four seasons as a shark investor on Shark Tank.

Now, Allis is once again busy on TV, this time appearing as an adviser on Nine’s Celebrity Apprentice Australia.

Is it possible this veteran of four reality shows might just be addicted to the medium?

Allis concedes that early appearances helped with brand recognition or sated her curiosity as an entrepreneur, but recently she is being driven by something else.

“I think in life, if you just say yes, really interesting things happen,” laughs Allis, pointing to friendships she has made, including her latest with fellow Apprentice adviser, fashion designer Lorna Jane Clarkson. “So, in so many ways, why wouldn’t you? And you know what? TV’s fun. It’s just fun.”

And, given the economic challenges thrown up over the past year through the pandemic, you could hardly blame her for seeking out a bit of levity.

Retail Zoo, the company she co-owns with husband Jeff Allis and private investment firm Bain Capital, has more than 650 company-owned and franchised stores in more than 13 countries with brands such as Boost, Betty’s Burgers and Concrete Co, Salsa’s Fresh Mex and CIBO Espresso.

Like most companies, it had assessed many risks, but a pandemic wasn’t one of them. “We just kind of went ‘what the?’,” recalls Allis of that time.

“I’d built this business for 21 years, and I didn’t see a way out of it.”

Allis says the Australian government’s response with financial assistance, emergency leasing arrangements for retailers and some astute and agile decision-making by her executive team saved the company from disaster. Nevertheless, the experience has left an indelible mark. “Every day, you wake up and go, ‘OK, right. What’s today going to hold?”

M

eanwhile, the pandemic also prompted Allis and her husband to move home.

The couple had been spending a weekend at their Noosa holiday house when Victoria went into lockdown. “We couldn’t get back,” says Allis. “So, I mean, help! Poor us, we got stuck in Noosa … [But] we had this lifestyle where we went swimming and surfing every day and took the dogs for a walk in nature. And we just went, ‘this is what we want’.”

In March, they sold their Toorak home for more than $20 million and now live in Sydney’s northern beaches, close to the city (for business), her two sisters and the beach.

Although their Great Ocean Road property in Fairhaven is technically on the market (known as the “Mad Max House”, it’s valued at more than $10 million), Allis appears reluctant to sell. “That’s more of an emotional house for us. That’s where the kids have done nippers; it’s been a happy place for 20 years.”

But Melbourne hasn’t lost her for ever, says Allis, who visits at least once a month. “I’m straddling both cities. My mother lives in Melbourne … but the best thing about coming to Sydney being a Melbourne person is it got me to appreciate Melbourne again. I was there last week, and I walked down the street, and I saw the beautiful trees that have changed colour. And I love the freshness of Melbourne.

“The cool boots and the great fashion you can wear is awesome. And you know, there might be a time when I will return. But for this period of time, we’re going to go on a new adventure.”

New adventures, it seems, are a driving force for Allis, personally and professionally. In business, she keeps the Boost brand fresh by talking to her young customers, staying relevant and having fun (think Vegemite smoothies).

“The day that you go ‘we’re done, that business is done, we’re successful’, is the day that you’re in serious trouble,” she says. “[It’s about] that curious mind – if there’s a better way, we’ll find it. I think the meaning of life is learning. I don’t care if it’s me learning to be a yoga instructor, which I did a few years ago, or me learning to drive a boat or learning to teach my dog a new trick; learning is the key thing.”

That said, it’s difficult to pin down what Allis’s next adventure may be. Last year her company Retail Zoo withdrew an application to float as a publicly listed company on the Australian Stock Exchange due to the economic environment. That may change in the coming months if conditions are more favourable. “I would say that there is an event likely to happen in the near future,” she says. “But, it depends; there are so many things.”

Meanwhile, she recently joined the board of electronic retailer Kogan and says she had been talking to Andrew Banks (of Shark Tank fame) about his investments in a business that specialises in longevity and quality of life.

“I think that anything to do with whatever idea that comes up, or whoever I support in a business, my skill is to understand the customer, keep business simple, and just keep delivering what they want.” ● THE CELEBRITY APPRENTICE AUSTRALIA \ Airs Sunday to Tuesday on Nine

OUT FOR DINNER

An edible onslaught

I

CARMEN ZAMMIT

’ve only visited Barcelona as a backpacker piling my plate with free tapas, but those sultry, rustic bars that smell of the Maillard reaction from the kitchen remain vivid.

I hadn’t experienced similar in Melbourne until dining at La Pinta, a 30-seat tapas bar in Reservoir from Catherine Chauchat (remember Boire in Collingwood?) and Adam Racina.

There are no bookings, unless your party of fiveplus sits at a homely table in the prep kitchen surrounded by flour and pickling produce.

We arrive to an hour-long wait during the Friday-night peak and are seated at a narrow ledge beneath a wooden ladder draped with dried herbs

menu and am thrown off course by an empanada gallega (an oval pie from Galicia) and tortilla de patatas, an omelette “cake” studded with potato and onion.

Both proffer themselves from the counter and are served by the wedge at room temperature. When asked what I’d like, “both” slips out.

Three Venetian-style sardine fillets arrive at our ledge, sweet and sour with onion and vinegar.

Had I not also ordered velvety split fava bean dip and grilled ox tongue on lentils, I’d have asked for another.

Our edible onslaught continues when shifted to the bar: blackened Anaheim peppers swimming in anchovy dressing; butterflied garfish pan-fried and bunked with almond puree; and spoja lorda – wonky, handmade ricotta ravioli from EmiliaRomagna tossed with retired egg-laying hen ragu.

A rich brick of pickled pig’s head, coated in polenta and fried, threatens to send us over the edge, but if it feels like a European holiday, I say eat like you’re on one. ●

and garlic. We eventually make it to prime position at the blue bar hugging the huge open kitchen, but it hardly feels like waiting with tap vermouth and house wine for $5 a glass.

I approach the bar to order from the blackboard

What’s nearby?

A more family-friendly dining option is Chan vs Chan, a neighbourhood restaurant that opened last September. It’s based on nostalgic, Melbourne-inspired Chinese dishes.

That means ’roo with black bean sauce instead of beef, potentially the best version of lemon chicken you’ve tasted and, of course, prawn crackers.

P A stay to remember

erhaps you think the brand-new W hotel in Flinders Lane is going to be too hip for you.

Think again. Sure, there’s a cool vibe at the entrance, with a gigantic lenticular artwork of Hosier Lane (by local artist Rus Kitchin) lit up behind the front desk. Down the hall, it looks like someone has taken a spray paint can to the lift lobby; yep, the dripping-paint pink walls were done by artist Ash Keating with a fire hydrant.

There’s more uber-hipness inside the rooms: the Fabulous King room features what looks like a cylindrical art installation of a girl's face lit from within – only it proves to be a cupboard instead.

W hotel is a contemporary take on a five-star hotel that is luxurious and undoubtedly Melbournesque.

From 1 July 2022 food and green waste bins will be emptied weekly general waste bins will be emptied fortnightly.

Recycling and hard waste services are not changing.

Why we are changing Thanks to the 30,000 households using our food and green waste recycling service, Bayside’s general waste going to landfill has dropped to record lows.

At the same time: food waste still makes up 36% of general waste bin contents waste charges are increasing as landfill sites fill up and costs rise smelly food sitting in food and green waste bins for two weeks concerns some residents many households using the food and green waste service report their general waste bins are half empty but their food and green waste bins are full we want to do more in response to the Climate Emergency and reduce Bayside’s emissions.

We are switching collections to encourage residents to put more of their food waste into the food and green waste bin.

General waste bins will be emptied fortnightly

Food and green waste bins will be emptied weekly

We are also urging Bayside residents who are not already using the food and green waste service to sign up before 1 July 2022 at bayside.vic.gov.au/GoGreen

How can we support you?

STREETS OF OUR TOWN

High Street This happening Thornbury strip is a ‘little slice of heaven’, according to the locals.

Nightlife, music, bars and cafes – these are the things that make High Street, Thornbury, a brilliant reason to venture north. It’s seven kilometres from the CBD and easy to get to on public transport; ideal for a night out. Since the turn of the last decade, new cafes and bars have gradually edged their way into the suburb, which is now a melting pot of people young and old, grounded by the area’s rich Greek and Italian history. And, with great coffee spots to boot.

An endearing mismatch of building facades host record and book stores, second-hand shops and nail salons. There is so much to look at and taste – you can even head to the evergorgeous Thornbury Picture House to catch a movie.

WHAT WILL YOU FIND THERE?

The Thornbury Local couldn’t be a more perfect spot to begin an evening adventure along High Street. I stop in for a bite and a drink to plan my next steps. The blues are playing, and the bar is dimly lit, candlelight flickering along the booth-lined walls. Three older men are standing laughing together, and the staff are giggling too, in on the gag.

Susanna Joice, who works at the bar-and-music venue, says High Street has a “beautiful vibe”, where places like The Thornbury Local foster the spirit of the community.

“It’s just like home when you walk in here,” she says.

“There is so much here … it’s a little slice of heaven.”

This place has an American-style menu and delicious woodfired pizzas – the mushroom pizza is wildly good. For a snack, go for the mac and cheese croquettes. Be warned; they are supremely addictive.

Continuing on my journey, I cross the road to take a look at the lovely Pizza Farro, where the game is using spelt flour to

There are some interesting retail stores along the strip, including the elegant Perimeter Books. It’s a minimalist’s dream, stocking selective works on art and art theory, photography, design and architecture. So if you’re hunting for a new coffee table book or a unique gift, this is the place for you.

A Golden Mile address, period features and a north-facing rear garden with tennis court, heated 15-metre lap pool and outdoor dining area are all big ticks for this family home.

The floor plan is spacious and quite grand. Parquetry floors give a golden glow to the ground floor, and chandeliers add sparkle. Deep skirting boards and high ceilings are reminders of the home’s heritage. It’s a welcoming combination that provides a warm family atmosphere.

On this level, a study has a beautiful bay window with elaborate leadlights – a design repeated around the front door and above many of the ground-floor windows. Next to this, a music room has double doors to a small verandah.

The remainder of this floor comprises a formal living room with box bay window and gas log fireplace in a marble surround and a large informal living-dining area opening to the rear entertaining area.

The kitchen has calacatta marble bench tops, Miele ovens and a large walk-in pantry. Storage is excellent and the marble waterfall bench has space for casual meals.

Also on this floor are a mud room accessible from the pool, a bathroom with outdoor access and a laundry.

All the bedrooms are upstairs, along with a family room that opens to a balcony – the perfect spot for cheering on the players battling it out on the tennis court below.

The main bedroom has built-in and walk-in wardrobes and a marble en suite with double basins and oval bath.

The children’s bedrooms have either built-in or walk-in wardrobes and one has double doors to a balcony. They share the family bathroom on this floor.
