Thread: Wilson's Wanganui

I have only dealt with them over the phone but great old school service

Haven't been there for a few years now but started visiting when he was across the road. Eides were closing around then but as far as being a gun shop their glory days were long gone.

Visited H&F Wanganui once - walked in one door and out the other. Wife was with me and I was exiting whilst she was still in the shop. She asked, "aren't you going to look around?" I said "nay, I'm done." I never went back. Although I will say they had a bit more character when they had their small shop near M10.

Wish him well in his retirement.

These gem shops are few and far between - Magnum in Stratford is one, Taihape Gun Shop another (sadly closing).
We need to support them against the big franchises.

Yea it good living in the same town as them but sometimes it's a bit hard to get out off the shop & they seem to have a money magnet that just seems to take it out off your pocket & in return something lands in your arms lol I did prefer the shop across the road as they used to have couches in there by the counter to sit on and yarn lol. & Jason's bloody good to deal with & yarn to so it's not really gonna be any changes

Yep, it's like waking up and our favorite pub the NewTaihape had burnt down.
I can't believe it hasn't sold as combined with the cafe it's an unreal business.

Gutted!

Won't be much point stopping in Taihape anymore

His gun shop and his wife's coffee shop are on the market for $1,990,000.
Could still find a buyer, mmmm...
