New Zealand vaping store VAPO opened in central Christchurch only two weeks ago, and business has been booming! The opening of the vaping store in the heart of the city may have been controversial to some. However, the store has been receiving an influx of positive feedback from customers and neighbours.
The store sits in the heritage-listed Duncan’s buildings, which recently underwent a mass redevelopment following the 2011 earthquakes.
To open a premier store in such an iconic Christchurch building when the city has lost so much heritage is awesome. The developers have done such an amazing job with the restoration and have attracted a great mix of tenants. We’re both originally from Christchurch, and while it may be VAPO’s eighth store nationwide, this one arguably means the most to us.
VAPO and Alt New Zealand make up the largest New Zealand owned vaping company, and their goal is to help create a smoke-free New Zealand – free of Tobacco. With such an impressive stream of business since the opening of their Christchurch store, the company appears well on their way of making their goal a reality.
Vaping is all about getting Kiwis off cigarettes and into a practice that’s considerably healthier and more cost-effective for them and their families. We know first-hand, and studies show, that vaping is the most effective smoking cessation tool. So we’re very proud to now bring our passion and company ethos to Christchurch.
