I’m raising funds to launch Whangārei’s first 24/7 self-service vending store, with plans to expand into surrounding areas
Whangarei, Northland
Hi, my name is Amohia, and I’m bringing something fresh and modern to Whangārei — a 24/7 self-service vending machine convenience store in a prime city location!
This store will be stocked with snacks, drinks, and everyday essentials like power banks — all accessible any time of day or night. Whether you’re working early, out late, or just on the move, this store is built for your convenience.
But this is just the beginning.
My vision doesn’t stop at one store. Once we’re up and running, I plan to expand into surrounding areas like Tutukaka, Whangārei Heads, and other whoop-whoop locations where access to convenience items is limited. These communities often miss out on late-night service or basic supplies — and I want to change that.
Your donation will go toward:
Buying our own smart vending machines
Setting up security systems to keep everything safe
Creating signage and branding so the store is easy to find
Covering council fees and setup costs
This started as a late-night idea… and now it’s becoming real. I’ve done the groundwork — I just need help getting across the start line.
Whether you give $5 or $50, you’re helping launch something innovative and local, designed for everyday people. And every dollar brings us closer to reaching even more communities that need better access to the basics.
Let’s build Whangārei’s first 24/7 vending store — and grow it into something even bigger.
Thank you for believing in this dream.
💛 – Amohia

Kia ora everyone,
Just wanted to share where things are at — the store design is coming together (still a few tweaks to go 🎨), a draft lease agreement is already in front of me, and our proposal for space in The Strand is now with their board for review.
It’s still early days, but each step feels like a big milestone. I’m so grateful for everyone who’s backed this idea so far — your support is helping turn this from a dream into reality 🙏
Thanks Georgina 🫂
