Max Fashions Executive Director, Simon West says Kapiti has a growing demographic of Max customers.

“We can’t wait to offer our contemporary fashion collection to the women of the Kapiti Coast. We’ve been looking to open a store on the Coast for some time. We know from our research a lot of Max customers live in the area and with the improvements in roading in the region we expect that number to grow.”
