Takaroa's small shops: thin pickings since the pearl industry collapsed, so arrive provisioned.
Practical
Approximate: placed at the village. Jan 2021: one tiny shop about 200 m behind the dock (bread, no produce) and two better-stocked magasins on the road toward the airport (Grace of Longstone). Nov 2023: only one magasin open, days after the last supply ship, yielding 1 butter, 4 mangoes and 2 potatoes; no vegetables, and the store on the airport road was closed (Elvira Sweden). A small vegetable farm in the village sometimes sells produce; ask around (Migration 2022).
