A brief history from owner Roy Archibald.
Star Electrical existed in Rotorua from the early 1960s as two separate shops, one on each side of Tutanekai Street, numbers 382 & 417. By 1967 the site of the Old Empire Hotel was bought by R. Archibald and the hotel demolished by Flowerdays Demolition Co. for £5000.
Star Building was then built to join the two shops together as one at # 414 This building now houses the Dollar Value shop, Pagani fashion store and Vegas fashion (2012)
