Reviews of Pete's Emporium
J.
A bizarre but excellent mix of quality art, sewing, DIY, and fishing supplies. My absolute go-to when I have a project of any kind!
M.
All we wanted were goodie bags for our movie night. The selection was outrageous and I had difficulty making a decision. The staff were really helpful and made great suggestions. Totally distracted by all the other sparkly stuff they have - be warned!
D.
If you are local make Pete's Emporium a regular check in point to see all the nick-nacks they have before going to the big stores like Bunnings Mitre 10 etc.
Pete will often it have it cheaper but still doing the job. Better yet in singletons so you avoid have to buy bulk when only a few needed.
T.
Love all the bargains in there
So much choices arts an crafts, tools all sorts of items.
B.
The variety is almost overwhelming. The quality is reasonably high.
The fabric/trimmings section is huge. Make sure you have an hour+
r.
Such a good place for Halloween decorations. We'll atleast it was last year. Went in today and they don't have anything on display just yet.

Sept2021: mixed emotions about this place... I walked through here in awe as to the quantity-variety of product. But its so over full of plastic and stuff that people... want. Its like a above the ground dungeon. I got me a tiki..

Don't go there it is a money magnet there is such a choice of so many varied items it makes the head spin.

Great selection of haberdashery and party supplies.
D.
Great choice. Great prices.

If you want to find something you can't find anywhere else, give it a go
M.
I love Pete's Emporium it has so many items I need for the craft I do as well as other items for the 'Jack of all trades ' something to keep everybody happy at fairly good prices. The only complaint would be, because I buy there often, is that they don't restock their shelves often. I have been back sometimes 3 weeks later and items I need are still not available. Overall tho good store, good prices and great variety.
P.
Pete's Emporium is a marvelous place to go to for all your birthday, anniversary, and any other party themes or supplies. They also stock a vast amount of other products.......I guess it is best described as a blend of $2 stores with Warehouse.
P.
A great place to find all sorts of things. We were looking for a piece of my grandson's hat and they had it!!
S.
Large variety of things available are reasonable prices
J.
Great shop...my go-to for all things crafty

Even more goods to browse through as they have increased floor space. Well worth a rummage around. Surprising selection under one roof.
L.
Amazing selection, amazing prices. Can easily spend a whole day here
J.
Amazing variety of Items in this Store.
S.
It's the more of the mostest! Anything and everything can be found there. Quality varies - some is 2-Dollar Shop while other stuff is as good as anywhere. Fabrics, craft supplies, and haberdashery are examples of the latter. Every time I visit I think I've seen everything. But then, out of the corner of my eye, I spot something new :-) I love this shop!
L.
Always a great place to go to get everything and more at bargain prices. Great selection of products for all your creative projects
L.
Amazing emporium of pretty much everything you could want to buy. Well, except food and plants. But pretty much everything else. Great range of fabric and definitely the place to go for buttons. Also has the best range of costumes for Halloween etc, and a pretty good art supplies section.
M.
This place stocks a variety of sewing necessities. An exciting collection of materials and accessories among graft and party decorations. Staff are very friendly and helpful in giving advise.
P.
Lovely shop with different varieties from creative stuff to gardening tools and paint. It took me a while to explore each isle. I will go there again.
J.
Very good for all sorts of things

Got everything you did not know you needed and the stuff you did

You can find almost everything and at good price. Great party supplies, cake stuff and dress ups
D.
This shop has literally everything and anything you can possibly think of. I've been here probably gazillion times, and somehow I seem to always find something new and interesting. Staff are great too.
S.
23/1/20: Haven't been here for some time & only popped in for a quick look. The store has changed, mainly with locations of groups of items, but I spent quite a bit of time just wandering down the aisles checking it all out. Surprised that the shop had also expanded in size by the addition of a fabrics dept. Quite impressive. They still had the usual goods on display as well, although some had been downsized or up sized e.g. craft supplies was up sized as was kitchenware (I think). Still had my favourites though..coasters, funny keychains, costumes, party supplies etc. Will have to start coming back here on a regular basis again.
T.
Pete's Emporium is the perfect spot for all your bits and pieces, from crafts to dressing up, from fishing to dress making....the staff are awesome and very helpful and service with a class A smile.
V.
So much to look at then off course so much to buy. Love it cause this place has everything needed & also helpful staff
D.
Very varied stock, some great prices. Useful things like screws and nails to buy in small quantities. Fabric, embroidery silks, dress up gear, gardening, tools and more
T.
I always go here for craft items, spray paint, little gadgets and material. It's really a go to place for people in the art world.
The customer service is great and the selection of items is one of the best I've seen.
You can find anything from fishing, to art and crafts, to miscellaneous car items(including cheap wiper blades) and affordable electronic devices.
Everything I've ended up buying from here has worked great and lasted me and is cheaper than warehouse or stationary stores. Amazing value.
Highly recommended. :)
K.
Very happy to say each time I go there it is better stocked and better organised. Outside artists shops, Pete's Emporium has the best and largest range of paintbrushes seen for quite a long time. Arts and crafts are very well supported here. A very pleasant surprise seeing such a huge haberdashery section and my query answered promptly. I thoroughly recommend this treasure storehouse!
W.
Lots of stock and helpful staff.
d.
Never fails to have all I ever need, really lovely helpful staff too.
D.
Pete's Emporium is one of the best arts and crafts stores in Wellington.
Highly recommended.
H.
So much cool stuff, all the arts and crafts materials you could possibly want. Lots of costumes and accessories. Best party supplies available in the Wellington region. The venue is large, easy to find and everything inside is well displayed. Plent of dedicated parking outside. Open till late on Thursday night. All the merchandise is reasonably priced. Helpful staff. Got exactly what I needed without breaking the bank.
C.
Great range of cheap made in China wares. Quality isn't always top here, but you know what you're buying given the price. Some hardware items (fixings) are cheaper art other large stores in the area.
The fabrics and haberdashery are a completely different story. Great selection, good brands and choice. A must-visit location for anyone who is into sewing.
K.
A great experience, very large range of products at good prices. They have expanded since I last visited and it's not all dark and gloomy anymore. The lady that served me was very friendly. There was a long line when I went to check out but it moved very fast and they had extra tills open to accommodate for Christmas shoppers 😊 will be going back to shop there again
R.
Wide range of materials and costumes, at reasonable prices. I go there a lot for fabrics and sewing accessories.
J.
This place has had a makeover and has almost everything you need at great prices. Great for party stuff, costumes, art n craft, tools, pet supplies and heaps of other stuff. Worth checking it out. Great value for your dollar.

A bit crowded for my liking. The fabric/sewing area too small for too many looking at same time - they do have some cool stuff though

I can always find what I need.
A.
Always an interesting place to go ,great regular stock lines then there the items they get in to clear

A.
Great prices, but I would have appreciated a neater, more organized store.
P.
O love this place because everything you need they sell, especially material for sewing and toys for kids and fishing stuff. It's cheaper

It's kind of like a $2 shop with way more selection. Many things are over $2 but you can find most things you're looking for. You may even find the odd surprise - things you didn't know you were looking for.

I buy all the material and sewing supplies. My wigs are nuts now thanks to them. But also my neice loves it because we can buy fun things to do that don't cost the earth and make our time together creative and special. The staff are always happy to enthuse with you about the epic level of stuff they have, talk about the dream job. Never never change how awesome you are.

M.
Pete's always has the parts you need, from wheels and buttons to arts and crafts and plumbing tools. Friends from all over Wellington have come out to Porirua just to come to Pete's Emporium. It's a haven for people that make stuff, but also has things for DIYers and other crafty people. It also explodes with halloween stuff in October. Highly recommended.
