St John's Charity shop🚑
Does anyone know what has happened to the St John's Charity shop that was located in Henderson, which now sits completely vacant?
I've checked on their website and the only St John shops that are now open are the followinig: Browns Bay, Howick, Manukau, Onehunga, Papakura & Wairau Park - NONE OUT WEST!
I wonder if was because the actual customers buying had dropped dramitically of the last 12 months or so.
If it is the reason, I'm not surprised as they had priced so many of their items close to retail prices as so many other second hand places seem to be doing now; Savemart is a perfect example of a second hand place doing this dreaful practice.
I know most of them are for charity and want money for their (mostly) worthy causes, but surely selling second (sometimes third or fourth) hand goods, retail pricing doesn't occur, unless it's an antique shop of course.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
