Auckland Night Markets changes ownership after 16 years

Auckland Night Markets operates in Albany every Tuesday night.

Auckland Night Markets has confirmed a change of ownership.

In a social media post on Monday, Auckland Night Markets said founders Victoria Yao and Paul De Jonge, operators of the markets for 16 years, would hand over the business to an experienced event management team.

Questions emerged on social media about whether this meant the business had been sold or whether another entity was now handling the administrative aspects of the operation.

Yao told RNZ on Tuesday that she had sold the business to Oliver Crawshay.
