Mitre 10 Mega celebrates 10 years in Warkworth
Mitre 10 Mega Warkworth enjoyed weeks of celebrations last month during its 10th anniversary.
The locally owned and operated store was buzzing more than usual with various events, weekly in-store specials, and the opportunity for one lucky shopper to win a $50,000 boat package.
A highlight was an in-store birthday party on April 17, featuring sausage sizzles, face painting, popcorn, a treasure hunt and prizes.
Earlier in the month, Warkworth trade customers joined the Mitre 10 Trade Team for an evening at the store where they had the opportunity to network and speak to key suppliers about their latest product offerings.
