New businesses are sprouting along Richmond’s Queen St, from shoes and outdoor gear to hearing aids and Vietnamese food.
Resonate has already opened its doors at the top end of the shopping centre where it sells hearing aids by subscription with monthly payments, as well as taking care of hearing health.
On the other side of the road, replacing the former Smith’s City store, the premises are being prepared for a Number One Shoes + Hannah’s store with plans to open mid-June.
The vacated Hunting and Fishing store is now Gearshop, which already has a store on Bolt Rd and another on Trafalgar St in central Nelson. Richmond will be its largest store with the biggest selection of outdoor gear.
Further down Queen St, the former premises of The Wooden Spoon is getting its final touches before opening as Idoo Vietkitchen & Bar.
Over in McGlashen Ave, Nelson Marine Centre has just had its opening weekend for its range of Yamaha products, including outboards and Waverunner jet skis.
Heading down Lower Queen St, the large slabs of concrete going up mark the beginning of construction for Town and Country Vet’s new premises.
