Most people discover French Street Centre because they need one thing — a haircut, a storage unit, a massage, or an accountant at a convenient time. What surprises them is finding the other four businesses are right there in the same car park. For a precinct in Pimlico that doesn't advertise itself loudly, it quietly covers a remarkable range of the things Townsville locals need to get done in a week.
This is a straightforward guide to who's here, what they do, and why the combination works for the people who use it regularly.
French Street Centre at 28 French Street, Pimlico is home to five businesses: a beauty and skin care clinic, a hair salon, a wellness and massage clinic, an accounting practice, and a self storage facility. Free on-site parking, open Monday to Friday 9am–5pm and Saturday 9am–12pm. All enquiries via frenchstreetcentre.com/contact.html.
The Businesses at French Street Centre
The five businesses at the Centre have been operating here across different periods, and between them they cover a wide spread of everyday needs. Here's a rundown of each one.
Chez Belle Skin Care
Beauty & Skin CareChez Belle is a beauty centre focused on skin treatments and facial therapies. For Pimlico locals and the broader North Ward and Mundingburra catchment, having a quality skin care clinic with easy parking rather than a CBD appointment is the practical draw. Their website is chezbelle.com.au for bookings and service details.
Liddy's Hair Design
Hair SalonLiddy's Hair Design is a hair salon offering cuts, colour and styling. A local hair salon with established regulars and a reputation built on the French Street precinct over time — the kind of place where the same clients come back because they know what they're going to get. Find them on Facebook for availability and contact details.
Hawaii Massage
Wellness & MassageHawaii Massage is a wellness and remedial massage clinic. In a city where shift workers, tradies, defence personnel and healthcare staff are all dealing with physical demands that accumulate over time, having a massage clinic accessible without travelling into the CBD is genuinely useful. Located at the Centre with the same easy parking and Pimlico access that makes the precinct work for the rest of its tenants.
Finch & Finch Accountants
Accounting & Tax ServicesFinch & Finch is an accounting practice serving individuals and small businesses in Pimlico and the wider Townsville area. Tax returns, BAS preparation, bookkeeping and business advice — the everyday accounting work that most Townsville households and small businesses need at some point through the year. Having an accountant in a convenient suburban location rather than a CBD high-rise suits the clients who make up most of their work.
French Street Self Storage
Self StorageFrench Street Self Storage operates at the rear of the centre with secure, drive-up accessible units in three sizes — 18sqm, 24sqm and 30sqm. The 18sqm unit is currently available at $397 per month on a minimum 3-month term. The storage facility suits Townsville residents in the middle of a move or downsizing, tradies and small business owners who need a central equipment base, and FIFO workers or defence families who need somewhere secure for their belongings between postings.

Why the Combination Works
The tagline at French Street Centre is "Park Once. Get Everything Done." — and it describes the precinct accurately. Pimlico sits close enough to the CBD, the Mater Hospital and Pimlico State High School that a lot of people pass through or near French Street regularly. The free on-site parking makes it easy to stop for one thing and leave having done two or three.
It's the kind of combination that's common in suburban Queensland but less common in Townsville's inner suburbs, where commercial strips tend to concentrate on either food and retail or professional services rather than mixing personal care, wellness and professional services in one car park. For people in Pimlico and the surrounding suburbs, the convenience is real and practical rather than aspirational.
The Centre is managed by Ray White Commercial Townsville. For general enquiries, tenancy information or storage availability, the best starting point is the contact page. For individual tenant bookings and availability, contact each business directly using the details above.
