The Trusts West Liquor slowly expanding their grasp
WOW!! Imagine my surprise & disgust when I went to quickly visit WestCity Mall yesterday and saw an alcohol shop IN THE MALL!!!
WHY??????
I was looking for that rather quirky but fabulous $2 dollar shop that was next to Harvey's Real Estate (at the bottom of the travelator - level 2), near Hollywood Bakery and saw that it had gone an in its place was this intrusive alcohol shop, 'Village Wine & Spirits'
Now I haven't been in the mall since way before Christmas, but goodness gracious me, they moved so fast to get this in the mall.
I loved that quirky wee shop - it had almost anything you needed and so affordable. I am going to miss it.
I also noticed that there are quite a few empty spots and a few new shops in WestCity mall now.
Westgate must be making a difference to WestCity now.
On another note, when did shopping malls in New Zealand allow alcohol shops in there?
Don't we have more than enough Trust outlets out here in the West?
Why do we need one in the shopping mall?
Only The Trusts could get around any possible clause that was prohibiting alcoholic shops from being in there.
**Shaking my head in utter disbelief**
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
