Seven months after setting up shop on one of Rotorua's prime retail streets, Shirley Braun says feedback has been great.
Braun opened vegetarian takeaway store Sustain on Tutanekai St in July last year.
The reasons behind her decision to open on Tutanekai St were two-fold - it was the centre of town, and there were not many options for the type of store she wanted to open.
"The street appeals to me.
"It's a great spot, I'm happy to be here."
