Late last year, the Brookes Rd store marked their 10th birthday with a community celebration, at which Women’s Shed Queenstown founder Alex van Dam and Hannah Covington built a playhouse from materials supplied by Mitre 10. The store then called for nominations from the community to find a home for the playhouse, which has been built to last. "They do such amazing work in the community, and lots of kids will get to use it."
