QUEENSTOWN RETAIL CENTRE EXPANDS

Print Page

July, 2018

Queenstowns The Landing is drawing in two new businesses as the
popular boutique retail centre continues to expand its offering.
Located in the districts retail hub of Frankton, close to Remarkables
Park Town Centre, Wakatipu High School and Queenstown Airport, The
Landing is home to a wide range of established businesses that appeal
to local, regional and visitor markets.
The two new businesses, EVE Beauty and Vk Jewellers, see moving to
the Frankton area as a very positive move for their clientele.
Growth is the focus for makeup artist Genevieve Silcock who moved to
Queenstown from Auckland three years ago and established EVE Makeup
Artistry as a mobile business servicing the wedding industry.
With two makeup artists doing about 750 makeup services a year, the
business has been running at full capacity for the past 18 months, so
Genevieve is delighted to be opening the salon in mid-July with a bigger
team offering a wider range of services.
Were opening up in The Landing because its a fantastic location
thats popular with locals and is really well established, with plenty of
free parking, she says.
Currently a large percentage of our clients are brides travelling to
Queenstown to get married, so we will continue the mobile service as
many prefer us to come to them in the comfort of their accommodation
on their big day.
However opening a salon at The Landing will enable us to grow our
local clientele with a much larger range of treatments on offer from
manicures and pedicures to waxing, spray tans, eyelash extensions,
makeup and makeup lessons.
EVE Beauty will also stock a selection of makeup, skincare and beauty
accessories previously lacking in the Queenstown retail space.
Meanwhile, Vk Jewellers is set to open in September this year.
Business owners Anna and Trond Johansson and Claire Antill are
delighted to be launching a contemporary jewellery boutique at The
Landing.
Vk Jewellers will feature a full jewellery workshop instore to design,
make and repair jewellery.
As sister company to long-established Goldfields Jewellers in central
Queenstown, the team will bring their artistic talents to bespoke
handmade commissions using everything from precious metals and
beautiful gemstones to funky silver jewellery.
They delight in taking old, unused or inherited jewellery and turning it
into unique modern designs.
We specialise in everything from modern takes on classic diamond rings
to contemporary wearable art, says Claire.
There will be chunky silver bangles, funky rings, pendants and dangly
earrings sitting alongside delicate gold and platinum pieces that show
off the precious gemstones weve collected from around the world.
Vk Jewellers will also offer valuations, repairs and full servicing for
jewellery and watches.
Other businesses at The Landing include the hugely successful Odelay
Café and Zambrero restaurant offering excellent food and beverage,
and a range of interiors, fashion, gift, beauty, automotive and fitness
offerings.
The surrounding Remarkables Park area continues to bring more people
to the area thanks to the just completed 127-apartment Wyndham
Garden Queenstown, the Toru Apartments (230 units) currently under
construction and the new Ramada Kawarau River Hotel & Apartments to
follow.
