Jithin Chittibomma: Liquids Sandringham operations manager on being forcibly shut down and appealing the decision - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

An Auckland bottle store has been shut down after a group of neighbours complained it hadn't lived up to its promise of being boutique.

The Sandringham store, Liquids, went to renew its licence and extend its opening hours- but instead had both rejected.

Operations Manager Jithin Chittibomma says they're appealing the decision.

"We have not broken a single law, we have not broken a single condition on our licence, and we run a clean business."
