What makes Christchurch so special is not only its beautiful heritage buildings, but more so its businesses, little cafés, buzzing eateries, shops and boutiques, and while the heritage buildings may have taken a battering in the recent earthquake, the businesses are far from defeated.
Business owners have rolled up their sleeves and come up with new (and sometimes inventive!) ideas to get their beloved city back up and running. Green-stickered restaurants have reopened, cafés have relocated, personal training sessions are being held in parks, and some shops are offering free wood and sand alongside their regular wares! Here at Brown Bear we salute the Cantabrian spirit and invite you to update us all about your business. If you’re up and running, if you’ve moved or if your opening hours have changed, leave a comment and let us and our fellow Cantabrians know right here and now!
