Puketapu Store is the village dairy on Dartmoor Road, in Puketapu just outside Hastings. It is a general store serving the rural neighbourhood around it, the kind of corner shop people stop at on the way past for the everyday things they need close to home rather than a big weekly shop. Its location on Dartmoor Road makes it the easy stop for anyone living in the surrounding Puketapu area, without a trip into town.
