About Us

Our Story

We started trading in 1990 from a small premise on Waltham Road in Christchurch. Fast forward 30+ years and we now have two stores in Christchurch, one on Montreal street and the other on Papanui Road serving the north side of the city and we have a free delivery service within the Christchurch area that is a huge benefit to our customers. We have a small yet dedicated team that is ready to answer your questions, queries and has the ability to solve all sorts of problems. Feel free to get in touch today, we’d love to hear from you!
