As a brand with a 100-year history, Aryn McKissock, owner-operator of Four Square Shannon, was very proud to be a part of the banner.
The store network across the country has been reinvigorated with refreshed branding, tweaked in-store layouts, and an emphasis on fresh departments, which Four Square customers want to see in their communities.
“We are no different and have been steadily upgrading the store over the past 2.5 years we have been here,” said McKissock.
While the store is small in terms of retail footprint, it offers a full supermarket range, including fresh produce, butchery, craft beer, etc. and has hired a qualified baker.
The store has also installed new chillers and freezers, produce and bakery displays, refreshed the paint inside and out, installed new highway and shop-front signage, added slushies, cheese toasties, and fish and chips, and over 500 products in the grocery aisles, and streamlined the store layout for the best shopping experience possible.
McKissock’s goal has been to become famous in the lower North Island as one of the best places to stop for a snack and leave with a smile. He said Shannon is a wonderful town with a lot to offer, and he wanted to make sure the shop reflects the supportive community.
Being located on the main highway between the Bay, Palmerston North, and Wellington means the store has a lot of traffic passing by and shoppers looking for a rest stop or quick snack on the go.
