Foodstuffs North Island has been granted resource consent to build a new PAK’nSAVE in Takapuna, paving the way for a major investment that will bring more access to New Zealand’s lowest food prices on Auckland’s North Shore.
The 6,461m² store is expected to create over 200 jobs and will be situated on a 9,826m² site, with construction scheduled for completion in 2029. The new store will offer 197 carparks and serve a growing catchment across Takapuna and the wider North Shore.
“We’re incredibly excited about our plans to bring PAK’nSAVE to the Takapuna community," said Foodstuffs North Island’s General Manager of Retail & Property, Lindsay Rowles.
"Large vacant sites in this area are rare, and this is a great opportunity to create a modern, efficient store that helps more people access New Zealand’s most trusted supermarket brand and our commitment to low grocery prices.”
PAK’nSAVE was ranked second overall in the 2025 Kantar Corporate Reputation Index (RepZ) and has led the Fairness pillar for nine years running, a reflection of its consistent focus on value.
The site is located within a floodplain designated as having a one percent chance of flooding in any given year and features two overland flow paths.
The proposed design has been carefully developed to address these challenges, with the retail floor located on level one above an underground car park and featuring a civil engineering solution to manage stormwater and mitigate flood risk safely.
“This is a thoughtfully designed development that responds to the site’s constraints, while making sure we can deliver a safe and welcoming shopping experience."
Once complete, PAK’nSAVE Takapuna will be the latest addition to the Foodstuffs North Island’s co-operative of locally owned and operated stores, helping meet demand in one of Auckland’s most dynamic and growing communities.
