A number of stores in Trafalgar Square are slowly beginning to trade again, albeit without opening their doors.

After four weeks of being the only store open, Countdown will be joined by The Warehouse, Paper Plus, 2degrees, Shake Shed and Technofix who are all operating in a contactless capacity.

Appointments are available to arrange contactless collections, with the store using contact over phone as much as possible because customers can't enter the store. For any more information call 06 348 0351.

Shake Shed are available for icecream cakes to order for contactless pick up or delivery. All available cakes will be posted on their Facebook page, with customers asked to place other orders two days in advance. The best way to make an order is through their Facebook page.

Technofix Wanganui will also be open, but with a closed door and drop off and pick up systems. The store repairs phones, iPads, tablets, laptops and computers. Inquire at 027 345 0729.
