- Two fish and chip shops in Western Australia are at war over one word
- Woodbridge Super Deli hopes to trademark ‘Woodbridge Deli fish and chips’
- But Woodbridge Emily’s Fish and Chips has vowed to challenge the trademark
- Store owner Anny Liu said she would not pay her bitter fast food rival a cent
Two fast food shops are engaged in a bitter dispute in what some locals are calling ‘the fish and chip wars’ as the businesses clash over a single word in their names.
The two shops, located in the outer Perth suburb of Cooloongup, both have the word Woodbridge in their name – with Woodbridge Deli filing an application on July 19 this year to trademark Woodbridge Deli Fish and Chips.
Four years ago, the almost identically named Woodbridge Fish and Chips was taken over by local mum Anny Liu and since then, the shop has become a hit with locals.
Due to the name similarity to Woodbridge Deli’s fish and chip shop next door, Ms Liu said she decided to slightly alter the name of her restaurant to Woodbridge Emily’s Fish and Chips, after her daughter.
Woodbridge Deli Fish and Chips has been around for more than 15 years and is located next to Emily’s, with both at the front of the Woodbridge shopping complex.
