Foodstuffs North Island has planned for a new PAK’nSAVE supermarket in Highland Park, East Auckland. The new store, located on Pakuranga Road, will add nearly 7,000m2 of state-of-the-art supermarket and specialty retail space to the area, enhancing the shopping experience for residents and creating an expected 250+ new jobs.
“We’re excited to bring the latest generation PAK’nSAVE format to Highland Park, featuring ample space for customers and efficient behind-the-scenes operations designed to keep costs down,” said Foodstuffs North Island General Manager of Retail & Property Lindsay Rowles.
“Highland Park is a vibrant community, and opening a new PAK'nSAVE demonstrates our commitment to investing in the local area. We'll contribute to the local economy with an expected 250 new jobs providing various employment opportunities.”
Situated on a 15,000m2 site, the new PAK’nSAVE will become a flagship location for the Highland Park community, with specialised departments catering to customer preferences, such as a seafood servery, butchery, bakery, and deli.
The new store will also include a dedicated drive-through area, streamlining the shopping experience and six additional retail spaces available for lease.
The site has been home to a supermarket since 1978, when Progressive Enterprises built a Foodtown on the corner of Pakuranga Road and Aviemore Drive. Foodstuffs North Island bought the site in 2017, and when the lease ended in 2023, construction of the new PAK’nSAVE Highland Park began.
Foodstuffs North Island plans to open its doors in March 2025.
