Blenheim businesses: out with the old, in with the new - Are you affected?

Reporter Marlborough Express

Hi neighbours - a man bringing a national food franchise to Blenheim says you would be "crazy" to open a retail store in Blenheim in the current retail environment.

Dowsons Shoes and Pagani will shut this week, following closure of Joocy Loocy cafe last week. It is said that agriculture and wine industry businesses are doing well in Marlborough, however retail and hospitality was struggling.

Do you think Blenheim needs a business "refresh"? Has your business been affected?

Some people are frustrated by their neighbours or neighbour's friends parking on the street outside their house. This means they have to park further away themselves.
