My 2022 Prospa Local Business Hero nomination
Waitara Bin inn goes way beyond good customer service, from the laughing smiling Linda, to the solid Paul and his staff, this business has been there right through all the Covid tough times and they still go the extra mile for their customers, from sourcing a product you need, to carrying it to your car and even delivering to your home. On a couple of occasions that I know of items were dropped off a couple of hours north of the shop to a customers when a friend was heading that way, to save time as they were needed urgently. Paul has delivered the compost and potting mix for customers so that they didn't have to lift it. All staff have the right attitude of wanting to help you, if needed and always polite and smiling. A small tight knit team. From being the biggest seller of specialty cheeses in Taranaki, to stocking all the specialty foods for those with food allergies as well as a well stocked freezer of instant meals, a great range of lollies. The pets do not miss out either and all your home brew gear is here as well. Paul has stocked this shop to cater to his clientele. It is also the cleanest shop of its type that I have seen. This is a Bin inn like no other.
