History
On 3 July 1867, Mary Jane and Charlotte Milne took over the drapery shop of Mr and Mrs Wison at on the corner of Wyndham Street and Albert Street.[18][20] The business was renamed Misses Milne.[18]
In July 1874, the Misses Milne acquired the drapery shop of Mr. B. Cass within Cheapside House, on the corner of Queen Street and Wellesley Street.[21] The original business on the corner of Wyndham Street and Albert Street continued to operate until operations were consolidated at Cheapside House in August.[21] Sometime between this relocation and 1875 the business was renamed to M. & C. Milne.
In 1876, Charlotte Milne's husband Henry Charles Choyce took over her share in the company and the business was renamed to Milne & Choyce.[19][20] In September 1876, a fire occured in the photography salon of John McGarrigle above Milne & Choyce's upstairs storeroom and destroyed much of the stores stock.[20]
Milne & Choyce hosted a spring fashion parade in 1887, one of the first in Auckland.[18]
In 1901, Milne & Choyce went people, and became Milne & Choyce Ltd., Henry Choyce served as managing director.[18][22]
131 Queen Street was purchased in 1908 for £50,000.[18][23] Milne & Choyce would now be situated "between the banks [Bank of New South Wales, Bank of New Zealand]".[18][23] The company would relocate to 131 Queen Street store on 6 September 1909.[24][25]
Mary Jane Milne retired at the age of seventy in 1909, though remained involved in the business until her death in 1921.[20]
In 1923, the wooden premises were replaced by with a nine floor building (seven above ground), designed by Llewellyn Piper. The new store had six lifts, fire alarms, a private telephone exchange, and a workroom to produce custom-order garments and in-house labels.[18]
Milne & Choyce purchased the Hooker & Kingston drapery of Hamilton in July 1950, it traded as Milne & Choyce from August 1950.[26]
In January 1959, it was announced that Milne & Choyce and D.I.C. would now be associated for future merchandising and purchasing activites, to be co-ordinated through a shared buying office in Wellington.[27] At the time Milne & Choyce had stores in Auckland (Central, Mount Roskill, Takapuna), Hamilton, and D.I.C. had stores in Christchurch, Dunedin, Lower Hutt, Wellington, and Whanganui.[27]
The C.M. Ross & Co. department store of Palmerston North was purchased in September 1959 for £219,375.[28][29] The store would be rebranded as Milne & Choyce and remain in operation until 1966.[30] In 1966 the store was sold to D.I.C., in 1989 it was rebranded to Arthur Barnett.[30] Arthur Barnett would close in 1992 and since 1996 the building has been home to the Palmerston North City Library.[31][32]

In 1965, a branch store opened in Remuera. It was the largest suburban store of the company to date and featured a coffee bar that overlooked Hobson Bay alongside a self service food hall. One floor showed on Remuera Road but the store was actually three floors with a basement for storage and a rooftop carpark which could fit 60 cars.[36]
In 1973, Fletcher purchased a 31.25% stake in the company. Also in 1973 rival department store George Court & Sons. and Atlas-Majestic Industries had both attempted take-over bids of Milne & Choyce.[37][38]
