EAT, DRINK + BE MERRY LIQUORLAND BOUTIQUE NOW AT YOUR SERVICE The first of a new, small format concept from liquor retailing franchise Liquorland has opened its doors in Grey Lynn, replacing the old Perry’s Wines Ales & Spirits in Great North Road. Designed specifically for smaller retail sites than regular Liquorland stores, Liquorland boutique is small in size but big on local favourites and helpful advice for customers. “Liquorland is always about serving people in the local community with the products they want and a level of service which goes beyond expectations,” says Liquorland CEO Rod Gibson. “The Liquorland boutique concept allows us to do this in a smaller retail format and will be introduced in neighbourhoods and urban areas where retail space is at a premium. While providing a smaller breadth of product, the Liquorland boutique offering will include premium wines, premium spirits and craft beer. It will also be tailored to suit the needs and preferences of the local community.”
TREAT YOUR TASTE BUDS AT DAZZLE CAFÉ It’s always nice to try something new, so grab your family and friends and come on in to Dazzle Café, located on Ponsonby Road in Three Lamps directly opposite Republic. They have a great breakfast and lunch menu and serve up a good coffee as well. Their food will leave your taste buds wanting more!
Consumers will still be able to expect the same great shopping experience from the smaller stores including the use of Fly Buys in-store. Shoppers will be able to collect Fly Buys points when shopping and will also be able to redeem their points for products. For opening hours and contact details please refer to the Liquorland website.
They have a wide variety of food on offer from fresh sandwiches and salads to a choice of delicious full breakfast and lunch meals. If you are in need of a caffeine hit, try their yummy coffee from 777 Espresso and pair it up with something sweet from the selection of homemade goodies.
As a 100% Kiwi owned and operated franchise, Liquorland owners call on their specific local knowledge to personalise the experience and provide outstanding customer service. Established in 1981, Liquorland has grown to almost 80 stores nationwide in 30 years. Liquorland is owned by Foodstuffs New Zealand Limited. F PN
