A Dunedin institution has been sold to a former New Zealand basketball star. When the Otago Daily Times attempted to contact Cowell’s Pavlova yesterday, a representative declined to comment. Cowell’s Pavlova was established in 1973 by Ron and Audrey Cowell, who sold franchises in Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, Hamilton and Auckland in 1980. Kirk Penney, pictured in action for the Breakers in 2017, has bought a majority share in Dunedin pavlova makers Cowell's. He also won the 2011 ANBL championships as part of the New Zealand Breakers side.
