The Free Store

THE FREE STORE

Wellington’s first FREE STORE is supplied by local retailers keen to reduce waste and provide excess stock to the community for no cost. Artist Kim Paton, creator of FREE STORE, has sourced bread from Arobake and Brooklyn bakeries, coffee from Supreme and People’s Coffee, and produce from several of Progressives’ Countdown and Woolworths supermarkets. This stock will be displayed in the Free Store much as in any grocery store, but will be without a price and available to the public unconditionally.

What we do for them:

MSO approached the Free Store after hearing a presentation at a networking evening. At MSO we like to support local intuitive and once a year we will offer our services free of charge to a worthy cause. We helped set a up a website that would help promote the Free Store and help generate a good profile and help attract other sponsors. Like in every job, the process started off with a discovery session with the client to realise the scope of the project and isolate the purpose and function of the site. Needless to say the team at the Free Store was very happy and the team at MSO urge other Wellington businesses to support this great initiative.
