About 200 sushi lovers lined the street in South Dunedin yesterday to welcome a national chain’s first store to the city.
The store marks the first time the family-run sushi chain has opened a location in Dunedin in its 40-year history.
The queue stretched along Andersons Bay Rd yesterday for the opening of St Pierres, at the corner of Andersons Bay and Bay View Rds.
