The shops opening in Nelson CBD while others close
Vacancies may be mounting in parts of Nelson CBD as infrastructure works and economic pressures take their toll. But several shops have recently opened. We went to four.
Stu Free opened the Canterbury Pet Food Co store in Nelson’s Montgomery Square a month ago. Business at the shop, which sold raw pet food, had exceeded his expectations so far, he said.
Takings were higher than at the company’s store in Christchurch during its first month in operation. Business was usually slower when a shop first opened, Free said.
“It takes a while to build up … then you expect to have a couple of years of fairly sustained, rapid growth."
“I think it’s going to go really well.”

Step Back in Time: The Ultimate ’70s & ’80s Party at Rutherford Hotel Nelson
Dust off the flares, tease up the hair, polish those dancing shoes, and get ready for a night of music, memories, food, and feel-good fun at one of Nelson’s most iconic hotels.
On Friday 24 July, The Rutherford Hotel invites you to step back into the golden glow of the 1970s and 1980s for a lively evening inspired by the hotel’s original opening night on 18 December 1972.
Held in Oceano Restaurant, this special evening will recreate the spirit of the era with a generous buffet inspired by the original Rutherford opening dinner menu. Expect nostalgic favourites and classic flavours, including prawn cocktail, a Beef Wellington carvery, and other retro-inspired dishes prepared with a modern Rutherford touch.
The evening begins from 5.00pm, with doors open, welcome drinks and canapés served on arrival. Dinner will begin from 6.30pm, followed by a night of music, dancing, and celebration with a DJ and dancefloor to keep the party going.

Nelson is built on people ‘willing to have a go’ and they deserve our support
I have travelled a lot over the years for my work, experiencing the cultures of different cities around the world.
Like many, I have options to live elsewhere, but I choose Nelson city - for its community connectiveness, boutique offerings and its entrepreneurial attitude.
There is a special kind of energy behind our shopfronts, offices and hospitality venues, owned by passionate locals who have backed themselves, followed an idea, and built a business from the ground up.
Let’s face it, it’s not easy to do, to set up a new business and keep it going, but people have shared with me that have been able to keep going because of the loyal locals and connected community who provide them with support. I love that that is who we are – brave, loyal and connected.
A recent Uniquely Nelson business survey paints a picture of a city powered by innovators and creators. Half of the businesses surveyed were founded by the people who still run them today, with most owners still working full-time in the businesses they created and love.
Nelson’s business owners are a blend of established family enterprises and ambitious start-ups, Simon Duffy says.
