You simply can't miss it!
That is the statement of absolute confidence from longtime hunter and fisherman Scott Kunac about his new store location in the centre of Dunedin.
Since joining Hunting & Fishing New Zealand 23 years ago, he and his team have seen it grow from a small group of enthusiastic hunters and fisherfolk, to one of the largest sporting goods chains in New Zealand.
There are now 37 stores nationwide and the range of gear that they sell has also expanded. Hunting & Fishing New Zealand Dunedin's old store in George St has been bursting at the seams for the past three years, and its carpark facility there was, to say he very least, a nightmare at times.
So the decision to relocate was an easy one - but getting the right building was not so easy. At 141 Crawford St, the new Hunting & Fishing New Zealand Dunedin store offers plenty of parking, extended stock ranges, and a brightly coloured frontage of enthusiastic people who love to be ``out there doing it''.
``That's what we're all about,'' Scott says. ``Walking the talk, offering the expertise and product knowledge from the huge range of experience we share as a group of staff who really know what they're doing when it comes to outdoor adventures.''
The store's great team remains the same, with the addition of some new faces to help them cover the bigger store and seven-day trading. Included in the new store are brands such as Weber, Under Armour, and Merrell.
For the warmer seasons the camping displays are extensive, and the space Hunting & Fishing New Zealand Dunedin now has to work with means that they can offer an impressive range. And the spectacle of the taxidermy collection is really quite something to see as well!
Keen to impress, Scott and his team at Hunting & Fishing New Zealand Dunedin have set their sights on the best retail experience that Dunedin has to offer.
You should head down to take a look. The new store is open Monday-Friday 8.30am-5.30pm, Saturday 9am-5pm, and Sunday 9am-4pm.
