Our Company’s Stories

2008

The earlier version of our logo

FOUND

We started our business in 2008 with the goal of providing high-quality pop-up gazebos and display flags to individuals and businesses in New Zealand. Our first store was opened in Wellington, the capital city,

2014

Christchurch Store was opened

EXPAND

As we gained more experience and expanded our operations, we decided to open our first store in Christchurch in 2014. This move helped us reach out to more customers and establish a stronger presence in the South Island.

2016

Auckland Store was opened

DEVELOPE

Two years later, we opened our Auckland store branch to enlarge our service network in the North Island and get more people to know and experience our quality products. By this time, we had developed a range of six gazebo frame models to suit different customers' applications and budgets, making us a preferred choice among customers.

2018

ENHANCE

In 2018, we realized that our customers needed products that were stronger and more durable. Based on customer feedback and our own experience, we decided to redesign our gazebos for higher strength. We upgraded our canopy details with reinforcement against wear and tear, and our frame joints and brackets to a stronger material. This move ensured that our customers received high-quality products that lasted longer and provided better value for money. We also added a range of new products, including stylish large star marquees, inflatable marquees, and a huge range of event displays. These additions further cemented our position as a one-stop shop for all event and outdoor display needs.

2019

Brisbane Store was opened

EXPLORE

In 2019, we took our first steps outside of New Zealand by opening our first store in Brisbane, Australia. This move was aimed at tapping into a new market and expanding our footprint beyond our home country. In the same year, we introduced a new product, an outdoor umbrella sunshade, which quickly became popular among customers. Its unique design and high-quality materials made it a hit with customers who were looking for stylish and durable solutions for their outdoor spaces.

2022 Until Now
