I’m a little late with posting this one but after working for sixty years in the grocery business, Colin Johnson has decided to retire, taking his shop and a real icon of the city with him. Some of us may remember the fantastic Johnson’s Grocers shop that was on Colombo Street, pre earthquake. All the items were perilously stocked up to the roof on high shelves but each item was always hand picked with care. Johnson’s Grocers were then one of the first tenants in the restart mall and it was great to see them back.
Colin was a really nice guy and he along with his shop will be really missed in the city!
