Foodstuffs North Island is pleased to announce the opening of the brand-new Four-Square Te Kowhai in rural Waikato. Featuring the latest designs and innovations, the store is operated by first-time owners Satnam and Randeep Kang.
Designed to meet the needs of the Te Kowhai community, there’s a focus on convenience and ease with the new store offering a wide range of essentials, fresh foods, and self-checkouts, along with a great range of convenient meal solutions, including barista-made Flight coffee and food-to-go options including fresh sandwiches, Goodtime Pies, chicken and chips and hot cooked chicken.
Located at 561 Horotiu Road, Four Square Te Kowhai will provide a convenient shopping option for residents and visitors. The store is approximately 450 square meters and stocks over 3,800 products located over 12 aisles. The store also has two self-checkouts, three team member-operated checkouts and 20+ car parks across the development.
First-time owner-operator Satnam Kang started his journey with Foodstuffs North Island, the co-op behind the PAK’nSAVE, New World and Four Square brands in 2009, joining the produce department of New World Botany where he spent seven years in a range of roles before moving on to New World Whangaparaoa and later, PAK’nSAVE Papakura.
Satnam shared that he was excited to serve the Te Kowhai community and to bring a whole new level of convenience to the great town that has experienced significant growth.
“Life’s about to get a lot easier for locals. We’ve got a great range of products and a strong café offering, meaning people won’t have to drive out of town anymore to stock up on the essentials,” said Satnam.
Satnam continued that he had been around the local kindergarten, school, and retirement home. He knew everyone in the community was excited about the New Four Square.
The new store has created 11 jobs for the local community and represents a $2.5 million NZD investment in the area.
David Gordon, Head of Four Square at Foodstuffs North Island, said he was excited to have Four Square join the Te Kowhai community and support Satnam and Randeep as local business owners.
“Four Square Te Kowhai is another fantastic example of how our iconic Kiwi brand continues to evolve,” said Gordon.
“We’ve been serving local communities since 1924 and have a big focus on transforming our offer to continue bringing a world-class grocery experience to communities across the North Island.”
Foodstuffs North Island is a co-operative of 350 grocers who own and operate their local New World, PAK’nSAVE and Four Square stores in communities around the North Island.
Four Square Te Kowhai is located at 561 Horotiu Road, Te Kowhai and will be open seven days from 7 am to 8 pm.
