Edit: Total wait time was 45min in the queue. Only when I had phoned the store (while in the store) and spoke to the duty manager they opened two more counters. Suggestion is to keep an eye on the number of counters that are open as you enter if you don’t want to fall in the same trap as I did. 15min in the queue and still no sign of opening another checkout counter. Only two standard checkout counters open at 6.30pm Saturday… real jokes - pak’nWAIT. No floor staff either.

You can get a lot of groceries, nice cookies and chocolate at affordable price. Cheaper than Countdown supermarket chain. Highly recommended for those on budget tour. Lots of parking spaces.

People stock up foods before the Tropical Cyclone Gabrielle, leading some empty shelf. Overall you can still find most of the items you need or some replacements.

Good and big place, there have everything you need. There are parking spaces for many cars. 👍👍

Great supermarket with competitive prices in comparison to Countdown or New World. My only criticism is that it’s often a bit overcrowded, and various items do tend to run out of stock from time to time. It’d be great to see them adopt self service kiosks. Treat this as constructive criticism as I still shop here regularly! Hamish Dorrington Kakapo Business Sales

Stickman makes the best peanut butter cookies for dogs. He's a clever man. Have yet to meet him though, always busy when I ask for him at customer service. I actually think he might be avoiding me now 🤔

Great price for food when on a budget. Especially when there are deals going on. Good to keep an eye out for what's on special each week as they change

This is a great PnS. We met Michael who helped with everything we needed to know and was so friendly and kind. When we got to the checkout our server was Judith and she was such a lovely person. These two were outstanding and this will be our new PnS. Used to go to Wairau Road but it smells of fish so bad. This one has no smells and some very good products. Can’t believe I’m reviewing a supermarket- that’s how impressed we were!
