Grocery shoppers will be able to roll their trollies through the aisles of a Pak’nSave store in Warkworth by the middle of next year.
Foodstuffs has confirmed that the new 5300sqm store, on the corner of State Highway 1 and Hudson Road, will include a click and collect drive through and 170 carparks dedicated to customers.
The company’s North Island general manager of property, Nick Hanson, says the store represents a $40 million investment and will create 150 fulltime jobs.
“It is exciting to see the property take shape having liaised with NZ Transport Agency and Auckland Transport after the original resource consent was obtained in 2019 and the variation approved last month,” Hanson says.
“Warkworth is a growing community with people coming from a wide area to do their weekly shopping. It’s a privilege for us to be able to invest in the area and work alongside the community to deliver a fantastic new supermarket.”
Foodstuffs North Island is a cooperative of 350 local grocers, which individually owns and operates New World, Pak’nSave and Four Square stores, employing more than 24,000 people.
A spokesperson says that the build is still in its early stages so innovations, confirmation of tenants and the new owner/operator are still to be decided.
