Over the last couple of years this area has experienced a significant
resurgence in the retail sector. There has been a major influx of national
retailers, locating at the railway with there factory outlet stores.
I never thought we would be able to promote Otaki as a shopping
destination, but this has definitely changed and along with other whispers
going around, the future looks quite exciting for this part of town.
