‘Tough call' made after businessman's death
Mr Josephson, 58, died at his inner-city home on June 26, and a 15-year-old boy who is known to him has been charged with murder.
Following the sale of the Universal Store clothing business that he founded with his brother, Mr Josephson amassed a network of real estate and commercial interests, but his family is now selling some of these ventures.
'His beautiful family has been forced to make a tough call, so it is with heavy hearts that we announce the closure of Cafe Noosa, Noosa General Store and Eumundi Sourdough Co, effective since Monday 14th July,' a spokesperson for Cafe Doonan said.
Cafe Doonan is inland from Noosa Heads, north of Queensland's Sunshine Coast.
'Cafe Doonan will remain open. We will all do our absolute best to honour Greg's dream,' the spokesperson said.
Following Mr Josephson's death last month, he was farewelled at a funeral near the family home last week.
'Words can do this loss no justice. Greg was on his way to create an amazing hub of businesses with a passion and drive that was unmatched,' the spokesperson said on Monday night.
The Noosa businesses opened in 2023, and the Eumundi shop opened in November 2024.
'He loved being a part of this community and had an impressive vision for the four locations.
'He was a kind and gentle man who is missed dearly by all staff. We are deeply saddened by this loss.'
Rosecliffe Boutique Farm Cottages in the Noosa Hinterland, also in Mr Josephson's name, is listed for sale.
Mr Josephson founded the Universal Store clothing outlet with his brother Michael in 1999, later selling the business for a reported $100m.

Christie's Debuts Crypto Real Estate Division
One of the United States' largest luxury brokerages is starting a dedicated division to allow buyers to purchase real estate with digital currency. The firm, Christie's International Real Estate, has become the first major brokerage to create a dedicated team of lawyers, analysts and crypto experts to handle transactions in which both the buyer and seller are working exclusively with digital payments and not reliant on any bank, making the move as cryptocurrency continues to zoom its way into mainstream finance. Aaron Kirman, chief executive of a Christie's subset headquartered in Los Angeles, opened the division Thursday after closing a handful of big-ticket deals over the last two years, including the purchase of a $65 million property in Beverly Hills in which the buyers asked the sellers to accept cryptocurrency in lieu of traditional dollars. They did, and Mr. Kirman sensed a shift in the market. 'The trend was obvious — crypto is here to stay,' Mr. Kirman said in an interview. 'It's only going to get bigger over the next few years.' The Trump administration and Washington have rallied behind digital currency. Last week, President Trump signed the landmark Genius Act, which outlines federal rules for stablecoins, a popular form of digital currency designed to maintain a price of $1. The House last week also passed the Clarity Act, which would significantly bolster the crypto industry by shielding it from aggressive regulation. That bill is now headed to the Senate.
