Auckland’s fresh food market, Farro, is set to open its eighth store in Newmarket in late 2026.
Farro Newmarket will transform the former Liquorland site at 480 Broadway into an authentic farmers' market and a vibrant foodie destination.
With 70 carparks on site, easy access via three entry points from Broadway and Mahuru Street, and direct connections to both Northern and Southern motorways, Farro Newmarket has been designed with convenience and inspiration at its heart.
“Newmarket is a fantastic hub for shopping, dining, and entertainment, and we know the ease of being located on Broadway will really appeal to local residents,” said Farro CEO Garth Sutherland.
“Farro has always been about connecting independent New Zealand artisans and hard-to-find ingredients with Auckland foodies, and when Farro grows, so do the opportunities for those producers.”
The store will showcase the much-loved features found across Farro’s other stores: an in-house fishmonger with sustainably caught, market-fresh fish, expertly cut New Zealand free-farmed meats from our in-house butcher, great-value, quality produce delivered fresh from the market, and the full range of ready-to-eat meals from the popular Farro Kitchen.
An impressive central deli will offer barista-made Allpress coffee, matcha, an assortment of fresh salads and sandwiches made in-house, with sweet treats from nearby patisseries, plus Farro’s award-winning range of local and imported cheeses and charcuterie.
Regular specials and the Friends of Farro rewards program will add even more value to Newmarket shoppers. Customers will also discover goods from over 500 Kiwi and international artisan suppliers, including celebrated homegrown makers and restaurateurs such as Daily Bread, House of Chocolate, Cassia, and Gemmayze Street.
"We’re very much looking forward to opening in Newmarket and sharing the Farro experience with the neighbourhood. We can’t wait to welcome customers through the doors and create a space that celebrates both our producers and the community."
The numbers:
- Eight Farro stores across Auckland (including the new Newmarket store), plus online shopping across New Zealand
- 30 new roles created
- 1,000 sqm building
- 70 carparks
- Three entrances/exits (two on Broadway and one on Mahuru St)
