The Tuck Shop in Levin is owned by three women - Hope Tupara and Justine Harawira (sisters), and Aroha Huriwai. They took over the business in 2014 but the Tuck Shop has a long history in Levin since the 1950s, according to a couple of regular customers, first as a dairy. Subsequent owners added their personal touch to the business and the Tuck Shop transformed into a food bar serving mostly local businesses, employers, employees and residents. The inside of the shop has a fresh new look.
The Tuck Shop is located next to the VTNZ station on Reeve St so there is regular passing traffic. The wide road makes the Tuck Shop an ideal stop for busy people who want to grab their food without navigating a park on nearby State Highway One. We make all our food on site including brawn (aka pork terrine) and rewana bread using a traditional potato-based raising agent.
Aroha is a qualified Chef and the Shop Manager that customers see most. Justine monitors the finances. Hope has operational oversight of the entire business. Justine and Hope were brought up in a catering environment thus a knowledge of commercial kitchens.
"We are forever grateful to the support of our family and friends. Thank you to all our regular customers and visitors. If you are new to the area, call in and see us. We are open from 6am to 3pm Monday to Friday except statutory holidays".
