Hawke's Bay's brilliant weather switched on for yesterday's grand opening of the new Smiths City store in Hastings with brand ambassador Kieran Read putting smiles on many faces as he cut the ribbon.
Being a Christchurch-based business, Smiths City Group marketing manager Peter Dickie said Read was a "great family man" and had many mutual values with the company.
"Yeah, it's awesome," Read said. "I have a pretty cool relationship with Smiths City as the ambassador, a local Christchurch company for me, so it's kinda really family orientated." Mr Read said the turnout to the official opening of the new store was "fantastic".
"It was great to see everyone turn up and a few smiles on their faces was cool."
