From a Thought to Reality: Whangārei’s First 24/7 Vending Store

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
