Foodstuffs has launched a Pak’nSave in Highland Park, East Auckland, investing $100 million in the local community.

Featuring wider aisles, the nearly 7000sqm store houses an extensive product range with updated innovations in supermarket operation and customer experience, including team member-operated and customer self-scan checkouts. 

“As New Zealand’s only locally owned major grocery retailer, we’re committed to staying match-fit, making the investments needed to compete at scale, and ensuring Kiwis always have access to world-class supermarkets like this one,” said Chris Quin, Foodstuffs North Island’s CEO.

Due to its launch, Highland Park Pak’nSave offers more grocery choices from diverse food retailers and provides 250 new jobs locally.

“We’ve built a fantastic team that’s ready to deliver on our promise of New Zealand’s lowest grocery prices,” said Diana Brown, the owner-operator of the new store.

The store is open daily from 7.30am to 10pm.

Last week, Foodstuffs warned of looming price shocks due to Trump’s planned tariffs and urged the government to invest in adequate infrastructures to help maintain affordable food prices.
