Long standing Auckland craft shop closes doors after 45 years

From Checkpoint, 4:50 pm today

Geoff's Emporium on Dominion Road was opened in 1980, by it's namesake, Geoff Lamb. It's become an institution in Auckland, especially for those on the hunt for some bargain fabric or bits for an arts and crafts project. But after more than four decades, Geoff's son Derrol is shutting up shop on their flagship site to relocate to a Browns Bay location for semi-retirement. Reporter Finn Blackwell braved the crowds to speak to those on the hunt for some last -minute deals.
