A FreshChoice supermarket looks set to be heading to Snells Beach in the Mahurangi shopping centre.
Positioned at the southern end of the centre near the roundabout, the proposed supermarket will have a 1200 square metre footprint and 103 parking spaces, and could create jobs for up to 50 locals ,advises Woolworth NZ.
The previous grocery store in the centre – with the artist’s impression suggesting it is on the same or an expanded site – closed a couple of years ago.
Residents not wanting to head into Warkworth for grocery and fresh supplies are currently provided for by the Warehouse and The Food Market next door, at the northern end of the centre.
FreshChoice is a chain of locally owned and franchise-operated supermarkets with 33 stores nationwide. Founded in 1995, they come under the umbrella of Woolworths NZ. The stores are generally seen as more upmarket with a boutique feel to them.
The new supermarket is expected to be open in 2023 or 2024.
