Gun City has agreed to make the signage on its new Ahuriri mega-store more discreet after a community backlash against it following the Christchurch mosque shootings.
In a closed-doors meeting last Tuesday, Bill Dalton, Maxine Boag and other councillors met Gun City chief executive David Tipple and local Gun City officials.
They discussed a recent community petition and other issues about the store, which is due to open some time this month.
"The only part of the consent which was not approved last year [because it was not ready] was their signage," Napier City councillor Maxine Boag said.
"As a gesture of good faith they are reducing the size of their signs so they are smaller than that of any of their other shops.
