Foragers of hard-to-find gourmet and artisan food items can look forward to more choices at the newly-expanded and relocated specialty shop, The Burrow.
Owner Annette Jones has moved The Burrow into new premises in the Taylor's Landing mall in Taupo Quay near the Whanganui City Bridge. The new-look store opened
on Saturday, having moved from a small shop in the same mall
"We have expanded our product range and we have full kitchen facilities in the new shop," Ms Jones said.
"It means we will be able to provide samples which we couldn't in the old shop and I'm hoping someone will come on board to make pastries in the kitchen.
"I've brought in a whole lot of new New Zealand products - it's hard-to-find stuff and I'm always getting new products in. They are niche products that people can't get anywhere else in Whanganui. There's a story behind every tiny company and I feel like I know them personally. Even the items from overseas are made by small companies and artisan producers."
