Four Boost Juice stores close after May 1 liquidation
Four boost juice outlets on the Gold Coast have ceased trading after the Federal Court wound up Abadell Pty Ltd on May 1. The closures hit stores in Robina, Australia Fair, Paradise Centre and Surfers Paradise, with all four later marked temporarily closed on Google.
Helen Newman was appointed liquidator to handle the company’s financial affairs after the court placed Abadell into liquidation over outstanding tax debts. For customers in those shopping and tourist districts, the immediate change is simple: the four outlets are shut, and the brand’s local footprint has shrunk to zero at those sites.
May 1 court order
The May 1 winding-up order came after the Deputy Commissioner of Taxation initiated proceedings in December of last year. Abadell was also ordered to cover the legal costs incurred. That leaves the company’s Gold Coast retail network tied to a formal insolvency process rather than a voluntary pause in trading.
Karen Ackland and Steven Ackland were the directors of Abadell Pty Ltd, which they first established in South Australia in 1991. Those details matter because the liquidation is not just about four stores changing status online; it is a court-supervised unwind of the company behind them.
Robina to Surfers Paradise
Four outlet locations were affected: Robina, Australia Fair, Paradise Centre and Surfers Paradise. All four sit in prominent Gold Coast shopping and tourist areas, so the closure removes a familiar takeaway option from locations that draw regular foot traffic as well as day-trippers.
The practical effect is immediate for anyone used to the chain’s Gold Coast presence. Those stores were operating under Abadell’s franchise structure, and the liquidation means the company’s ability to keep trading those sites has ended for now.
Broadbeach Waters assets
$1.43 million was the price Karen and Steven Ackland paid for their Broadbeach Waters waterfront residence in 2004, according to property records. The home, on Clear Island Road, is now slated for auction on May 29 after an earlier attempt last August to sell it for offers over $5 million failed to secure a buyer within 118 days on the market.
Mac Andrew, who lived there while playing for the Gold Coast Suns, said: “I’m not sure how much (the owners) know but there were definitely a few drinks with the boys here. They were always so welcoming of all our teammates and we often had barbecues overlooking the canal. It was handy having the pool here to do a bit of recovery after games and on a hot day it was great to relax on the deck.”
May 29 now becomes the next hard date in the story, with the house sale sitting alongside the liquidation as part of the same unwind of the Acklands’ Gold Coast footprint.
