Hastings' new large format retail centre, The Park, is welcoming its newest retailer, Fishing Camping Outdoors, to Hawke's Bay.
The Karamu Rd centre has had a busy first three months, with The Warehouse and Mitre 10 Mega opening their doors, and the centre is on schedule for FCO to open its first shop in the Hawke's Bay area next month.
Head of development services Chris Chapple, of Australian developers Charter Hall, has hailed the development a success.
"With two high profile retailers already up and running and over 700 off street car parks, The Park is a convenient and enjoyable shopping experience for the local community," he said. "We are very excited about another great retailer opening at The Park and importantly that they will be offering products previously not available in Hastings."
The FCO's store is 1400sq m. A neighbouring 1000sq m store and cafe space is for lease, with "solid interest" shown by potential lessees.
