Restaurant 181

A woman who bought a Christchurch restaurant for $181 has found it tough to reopen the eatery as the recession bites.

However, Theresa Cowan has decided to bite back with some cookies.

The 27-year-old Aucklander bid for a former Spagalimis pizza restaurant on the internet auction site Trade Me in February and won.
...
Cowan will be fundraising by selling pizza-sized limited-edition Cookie Time biscuits on Trade Me.

The cookies will go on sale for 24 hours from 7.30pm tonight.
