Arthurs Emporium has been a family business based in Whangarei for the last 37 years. From a small market stall at the local flea market the business has grown to a large store and several warehouses, importing a vast range of goods from a variety of overseas markets. It was started by Arthur and Jen Brasting and has now expanded to a staff of fifteen full-time employees working to bring bargains to the people of Whangarei and the rest of the far north. However, with the introduction of new technology, and after a few years of dabbling in the trade-me market we plan to make our bargains available to the rest of the country.

🌿 50 SHADES OF WEEDMAT 🌿

Well… maybe not 50, but we’ve got plenty of colours to choose from! 😂

Who knew keeping the weeds away could be so colourful?

It’s a weedmat.
It’s a wall covering.
It’s a tablecloth.
It’s a craft project waiting to happen.

Is there anything this stuff can’t do?! 😂

📏 10-metre rolls
🎨 Lots of colours
🌱 Available in store now!

Which colour would you choose? 👀

🚪 WEIRD ITEM WEDNESDAY 🚪

Because nothing says “Welcome to my home” quite like:
“GO AHEAD! STEP ON HIM!” 😂

We don’t make the rules.
We just sell the weird stuff. 👀

🥶 RARE NORTHLAND EVENT: ACTUAL FROST INCOMING 🥶

Look, we know, we know — Whangarei doesn’t really “do” winter. But Mother Nature’s throwing us a curveball this week and there might just be ice on the windscreen for a hot minute (well, cold minute).

We’ve got Tellico Premium De-Icer in stock — because when it happens once a year, you want to be ready, not scraping your windscreen with a Warehouse gift card like an animal.

✅ Sorts frozen windshields, locks & doors
✅ Stops the fog before it starts
✅ 10oz cans, ready to grab

You’ve basically got a 2-day window to actually need this before it’s back to jandals and 22 degrees — so swing into Arthur’s Emporium now while the frost lasts (and honestly, while we’ve still got stock of something Whangarei doesn’t usually need 😂).

First frost of the year waits for no one. Get in quick!
