2 Fantastic Variety Store sits at 96 Market Street in Blenheim Central, a variety store holding a 4.5 rating from 41 Google reviews.
The appeal of the trade is breadth on a small footprint: household basics, gift wrap and cards, party supplies, stationery, toys and seasonal stock under one roof, usually at modest prices. Because prices are low, a quick once-over of an item before buying is sensible, and the stores people keep returning to are the ones whose stock turns over often, so the shelves look a little different from one visit to the next. Regulars tend to browse rather than shop to a list, and in a regional town a good variety store saves the longer drive to a bigger centre for small purchases.
For Marlborough shoppers, this well-reviewed store on Market Street keeps that kind of browsing close to home.
