The owners of a new store set to open in Tauranga are pushing ahead with plans to open in mid-February despite some people not feeling buoyant about the region's prospects.
Rowan Ngati and his business partner and mother Lesley Sparke will open their fourth shop in their chain of stores in mid-February called The Cloud House.
The store will sell electronic cigarettes to starter kits, vape pens, E-juices and accessories, the pair said.
The Cloud House also has an online shop selling the most popular industry brands.
Ngati said the first shop in the chain of stores opened last February in Rotorua and was followed by two further stores in Birkenhead and Onehunga in Auckland
