Store of the week – Shanton Whangarei

Delwyn Underwood was the star of the shopping show last week. I had a photo all organised and loaded ready, and then my computer went into paralysis and is now at the techy hospital (I’m grabbing a moment on my hubby’s computer while he’s out  ). In the meantime, picture this in your head, two small boys happily looking at a collection of kids’ books in a corner of the store, while I try on several items of clothing, uninterrupted by potential attempts at doing a runner from the store. But the story gets better, not only did Delwyn have a source of entertainment for my darlings, but was also ready to assist with items needing to be changed. My two mud-loving little males had also managed to traipse mud into her store and Delwyn graciously offered to sweep it up – no eyes rolled, or fake smile. Naturally I came out of the store with a couple of purchases and two happy little chaps. I must note also, this is the second time I have been in this store and experienced exceptional help; the last time another assistant on duty said she would keep an eye on the kids for me while I was in the changing rooms. She gently guided the small shopping hazard/escapee between the books and the changing room as he delighted in getting different ones to ‘read’ to mummy while she tried things on. Thank you Delwyn and your team for your awesome service to mums and their offspring, we’ll be visiting your store again!
