History
The Freedom Shop was established in 1995, and was based on upper Cuba St in Te Aro, in a building formerly occupied by the NORML Shop. In early 2003, due to the construction of an inner city motorway extension, the Freedom Shop moved into a more prominent location in the Cake Shop (a community infoshop/internet cafe in mid Cuba St). When the Cake Shop closed in 2005, the Freedom Shop relocated to Oblong (a community infoshop/internet cafe) in Te Aro's left bank arcade. Oblong closed in early 2009, and The Freedom Shop reverted to running stalls at public events(1).
