WAIKANAE POP-UP SHOPS
How many Kapiti residents have heard about the existence of the new Pop-Up shops in Waikanae?
I had some some spare time the other day and was wandering along the Main Road in Waikanae when I came accross the converted containers located just before the GAS Petrol Station. This looked like a great Council initiative however I have not seen any promotions so did not know they even existed.
Two of the three shops were tenanted, one by the charity "The Shed Project" with their wooden products including Tui Feeders, Giant Poppies, Storage Boxes etc. and the other by 2 friends who call themselves J&K Pop-up. Their range of products include Shabby Chiq Homewares, Retro/Romantic Upcycled Furniture, Natural Fibre Woman's Clothing, Fabric Wall Hangings and much more.
There is also a Food Truck at the location which I believe is open on a Friday and Saturday evening.
I spoke with the tenants and was told that sometimes they are lucky if they see a customer some days which is a shame. I suggest we all take a wander down to the Pop -Up shops and support these tenants and the initiative that the council have created.
The two current tenants advised that they are open between Tuesday and Saturday 10am-3pm and will be there until the end of the month when hopefully new tenants will take over.

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?
Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.
This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.
We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚
