General manager Warwick Bennet said while it had been a great achievement, and was apologetic to customers who had met the staff taking part in Movember.
"I am sure many of our customers will be glad to see the end of November," Mr Bennet said.
"It has been fantastic to see 40 of our staff get behind this effort and raise over $10,000 for men's health.
"They have been well supported by friends, family and other staff members, in particular a few of our female staff who helped coordinate and encourage our team."
Many staff members also pledged to run or walk a dedicated number of kilometres during the month to raise more funds.
Money raised as part of Movember goes towards mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. Unfortunately, three out of four suicides in Australia are men.
Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1,250 men's health projects around the world, challenging the status quo, shaking up men's health research and transforming the way health services reach and support men.
