New Zealand musician Ruby Frost and her drummer Jimmy Mac worked with local film maker Veronica Crockford-Pound to shoot this cute flick for our new bike loan service.

Come and try out the bikes the next time you’re in Takapuna – you’ll love them!

We love providing you with the joys of shopping, eating and pampering and now we want you to go for a bike ride with us.

Today The Department Store Bike Loan is being launched in collaboration with T White’s Bikes and Takapuna Beach Business Association.

Feel like going for a leisurely ride through Takapuna on one of our beautiful restored Cruiser bicycles? Pop in and see us for all the details.

Starting on Friday 16th December, we’ve conjured up some exciting events and delicious rewards for our customers in what will be a hectic week before Christmas!

Take a look at the schedule below and choose what you want to enjoy with us, or just visit every day and treat yourself.

There’s champagne, strawberries, complimentary coffee, activities for the kids and a beauty bar to take the stress away.

See you soon!

Write us a love letter, poem or ode in French and we’ll pick the best five! The winners can bring a friend each to the preview of this great film!

Attention all Mums! Back by popular demand (and ‘cos we just love all Mums out there) we’re hosting Mother’s Day again today and next Monday 17th October!

It’s in appreciation of all the work you fabulous Mums do out there. And in the school holidays, what better way to unwind than with some ‘Me Time’ at The Department Store?

Come in today for store-wide discounts at Nature Baby, Karen Walker, Topshop, Black Box and Simon James Concept Store, plus special deals at Stephen Marr and Lucy & The Powder Room. And the kids can hang out upstairs for supervised face painting while you grab a free cake and coffee at La Boulange.

It’s too good to pass up! We’ll see you soon…

This coming Monday 10th October is another Mother’s Day at The Department Store!

Mums will receive a free cup of tea or coffee and a piece of cake from La Boulange, plus there’s discounts store-wide for Mums in all departments!

Come on in, Mums, and take a load off these school holidays with us!
