Lauren has now owned 101 for five years! It’s great to read her lovely anecdotes about her time with the business, bringing “smiles to our customers”, “trust your instincts more”, “rewarding to see familiar faces”, “surrounded by the most incredible team”.
It’s uplifting to read words like “supportive, fun and passionate”.
Congratulations 101 on this now not-so-new era.
It’s sad and unfortunate to see this milestone has been marred by damage to her beautiful store, when an elderly man’s vehicle collided with the building.
But it was lovely to hear of the stories of support coming from our wonderful community, with several community heroes trying to save the man’s life and not hesitating to spring into action.
Our thoughts and condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.
A reminder – Life Pharmacy Howick has now merged with Unichem Main Street Pharmacy. Leane and her team are looking forward to seeing you at 45-47 Picton Street, just 90 metres up the road, towards Stockade Hill. The entire prescription database has been transferred.
Did you know we have hire spaces available at Uxbridge Arts and Culture?
Affordable spaces to teach a class, team build, host a party, facilitate a meeting, train staff, the list goes on. Check out https://uxbridge.org.nz/book-a-space/.
It was great to see the annual Howick Rotary Club Fun Walk and Run was such a success.
It was a fantastic day and their efforts support Howick Coastguard, a charity dear to many in Howick.
Both Howick Village Vets Moore Street and the new vegan store in Rices Mall are open.
Lovely to see two new businesses in town. Sad to see APT Collections has gone, these premises are available for lease.
We’ll be celebrating Easter with an Easter Hunt in the Village.
There will be six Easter rabbits hidden in shop windows waiting to be found, and an exciting prize pack to be won. The competition will be open to five-12-year-olds from April 14-21.
