Patrice Schaumkell says it's time for her next adventure.
The owner of what is believed to be the only large costume hire business north of Auckland is moving on and has placed her business, Incognito Fancy Dress Costume Hire, on the market.
Her enterprise has been in the Arnold Franks building on Lower Cameron St for the past six years. It was previously located in Grant St, Kamo, where she had been operating for five years.
Ms Schaumkell, who moved to Whangarei from Auckland, says the original owner started the venture as a home-based operation before eventually moving to the Grant St location and calling it Incognito Fancy Dress. They ran it for 10 years.
Incognito stocks more than 2000 unique costumes, most professionally made by the original owner, a retired master seamstress.
