Kirkcaldie & Stains is a mid-sized department store in Wellington, New Zealand. It was established in 1863 by John Kirkcaldie and Robert Stains with a capital of £700. The first store was opened on Lambton Quay. A new store was built in 1864. In 1868 Kirkcaldie & Staines moved to their current location at the corner of Lambton Quay and Brandon Street, expanding several times. They also had a branch in Napier from 1897 until 1917. There was also a branch on Cuba street for 7 years.
According to Bloomberg BusinessWeek: "The company, through its subsidiary, Kirkcaldie & Stains Properties Limited, owns the Harbour City Centre consisting of two levels of retail shops with six floors of commercial office space and associated car parking in the district of Wellington." This represents the redevelopment of part of the real estate which was at one time occupied by the department store.
