We came up with the idea of opening Hastings Emporium in November 2023. With lots of planning and preparation, Hastings Emporium opened late February 2024. 

​

Hastings Emporium is Founded by Emma and Neale Reilly with our little 2yo Apprentice in Training. 

​

Unfortunately, we lost our Biggest Supporter - Barry (Neale's Grandpa, Robbie's Great Grandpa and a Father figure Emma never had) in February 2024. The same day we got the keys to our shop. Barry was going to be our one and only employee. He supported us from day one.

Hastings Emporium was opened in memory of Barry Francis Thompson. 1945-2024.

Whether you are just starting out or an established business, we pride ourselves on helping everyone that comes through our doors.
