A New Four Square can be found at 22 New North Road, Eden Terrace. Local owner-operator, Rachel Kennedy, is a fourth-generation grocer, and this is her second Four Square store - previously owning and operating Four Square Paeroa. The store features 315 square metres of retail space, four self-checkouts and created nine new jobs for the area.
“Growing up I was surrounded by supermarkets and grocer-talk. I decided to start my career by training as a chef before owning and operating three cafes in West Auckland and then getting into the grocery industry. Ahead of opening day, I’ve been combining my food service and grocery experience to help deliver an exciting new offer for the Eden Terrace community. We’ve got a great mix of grocery products, café items and food to go, which will appeal to the people of Eden Terrace,” said Kennedy.
“Eden Terrace is where I’ve spent a lot of my life and I’ve watched the area change over the years. A lot of young professionals, city workers and apartment dwellers call Eden Terrace home - people who lead busy lives and place a lot of emphasis on convenience.”
“Our new store is lovely. It’s a long and narrow format with short aisles which makes products easier to find. It’s essentially a café in the middle of a modern convenience store. We’ve got pastries and bread from Daily Bread, sandwiches from Dedwood Deli, Flight Coffee, Good Time Pies, salads and single cakes. For the afternoon and evening we’ve got some great premium quality heat and eat meals like salmon & potato gratin and chicken & chips. You can even get a nice bottle of wine or a craft beer to unwind at the end of the day.”
“Four Square Eden Terrace is a fantastic example of how Four Square continues to evolve. We’ve been serving local communities for 99 years and are transforming our offer to continue bringing a world class grocery experience to communities across the North Island,” said David Gordon, Head of Four Square at Foodstuffs North Island.
The store is open seven days a week from 7am – 8pm.
