Auckland's Commercial Bay opens for post-lockdown shopping

From Checkpoint, 5:54 pm on 11 June 2020

A brand new shopping centre opened for business in Auckland, with hoards of shoppers flocking for some post-lockdown retail therapy.

Commercial Bay is right next to the Britomart Train Station in downtown Auckland - the opening of the $1 billion development has been pushed back twice over recent months.

But after a shaky start, store owners are excited to finally welcome customers.

Checkpoint cameraman Dan Cook and reporter Katie Doyle went along to Commercial Bay for the grand opening.
