We are a very proud Maori – owned business,”says Alex. Alex’s parents, Pare and Grayson Reynolds own the Thames Hunting and Fishing store and this Whitianga cousin will closely relate to the parent store in Thames. “We do camping, hunting, tramping, bait, BBQ’s and a whole range of clothing,” says Ashleigh. “We look forward to seeing everyone.”
