Waikouaiti General Strore
The original building, which went up in 1862, housed one of the oldest stores in Waikouaiti’s history.
Then, proprietor Malloch in front of the Waikouaiti General Store, on the corner of Pratt St and Main North Rd (1909). Now: Beano’s Pies & Artisan Bakery Taking a break outside his bakery, Brian (Beano) Lanauze stands on
The business stayed in one family for 90 years. The store was built by D & J Malloch Bros, and remained in the family until 1952 when it was sold to the Lee family. The Croft family bought it in 1973 and turned the bottom floor into a very popular restaurant but it was destroyed by fire in 1986. Subsequently rebuilt, it was a garden centre and second-hand business before becoming the now highly popular Beanos’ Pies and Artisan Bakery in 1999.
Now, Beano’s Pies & Artisan Bakery. Taking a break outside his bakery, Brian (Beano) Lanauze stands on the site that housed the general store (left) 150 years ago.
