Temporary store reaches its three month shelf life | Manawatu-Wanganui Business | Business News for Manawatu-Wanganui, New Zealand

The Pop-Up Store is popping off.

The store was set up at the start of December in the Victoria Ave premises previously occupied by Prescioso, in one of Wanganui's most prized stretches of shops.

It was intended to be temporary, owner Rob Vinsen said, and would close at the end of this month.

"We took the premises for three months over the busier Christmas season. It has traded very well - however this type of closeout fashion is not accessible all the year round. We are getting to the end of it - so we are reducing prices in a closing-down sale to clear the balance."

Store manager Donna Caird, who will move to an administration position at Just Looking.

The two other part-time staff are students, whose tertiary year is about to start.
