Christchurch
The opening of our Christchurch store this week is the end of a two-year process that started in early 2016 with a serendipitous meeting with the building owners on a site that showed potential (if you squinted your eyes).
Luckily we shared the same vision; that vision was to take a landmark building (Caffe Roma was an institution in pre-quake Christchurch) and turn it into something world class.
Built in an ornate Renaissance palazzo style in the 1930s as the Midland Club this gentlemen's club felt like the perfect spot.
Without spoiling too much here are some images of the journey.
