Continuing with celebrating our 150th Birthday. Looks what's new to the Wests Family.

Mango & Orange
Sour Strawberry

We’ve been bringing the nostalgic since 1876, and we’re not slowing down anytime soon.

A big shoutout to Freshchoice Roslyn for being the very first supermarket to stock the range – and as of next week Freshchoice Green Island. Go check them out and grab yours today!

Was busy printing signs for the drinks stall we're sponsoring at the Waipu Easter Carnival and thought… why not sneak in a little education too 😄

So alongside the slushies, there’ll be some simple, easy to read signs around the stall sharing facts about pet desexing - why it matters, when it can be done, and how it helps both pets and the wider community.

Buy a drink, help Waipū Primary School, have a read, learn something new 🐾
