Steve Loe's vision was simple. Born to immigrant parents from Cypress, Steve worked in his parent's corner store and Greek nightclub during his child and teenage years. He noticed how quickly customers were to criticise the smallest of issues, but never hasty to give thanks for rolling up the shop's shutters each day, serving the many hundreds of constituents of Sydney's Inner-West.
