We are on the move!
It’s getting close to the time to say goodby to our shop on the wharf.
Due to the council’s decision to demolish our building we have to get out, don’t worry because we will still be around just some where new.
As of Anzac Day 25th April we will be at our new location.
37 McAlister Street, Whakatane.
We thank everyone for your support over the years and hopefully many more to come.
