In the heart of the South Island, Four Square Omarama has become a great example of community spirit, innovation, and adaptability.
Since taking ownership, Dave and Kim MacKenzie have transformed the store into a modern, customer-focused hub while maintaining the friendly, small-town charm for which Four Square is known.
