A Martinborough Landmark, Pain & Kershaw Ltd has been in business for over 130 years. Four generations of the Kershaw familyhave now been actively involved in the business for well over 100 of those years.

Pain & Kershaw Ltd is the commercial heart of Martinborough. Branches have also traded at Pirinoa and Featherston.

Although still called Pain and Kershaw Ltd, The business has now been split into 3 (2002) and can’t be called an old fashioned department store anymore.

We have built a brand new Mitre 10 Solutions store which was third in Mitre 10 Solutions store of the year Awards 2003 .Includes Garden Centre and Timber yard

The Grocery has been extended into the space vacated by the Hardware so is bigger, better and brighter. We have tried to retain some of the old character, for instance, there are polished wooden floor boards in the entrance area.

The Clothing/Drapery department should receive an upgrade in 2004. It is and will still be accessible from the Supermarket.

There is a new large car park for customers which has easy access to both buildings.
