Green Light For PAK'nSAVE Takapuna
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 located on a 9,826m² site with construction expected to be completed in 2029. The new store will offer 197 carparks and serve a growing catchment across Takapuna and the wider North Shore. Foodstuffs North Island's General Manager of Retail & Property, Lindsay Rowles said: 'We're incredibly excited about our plans to bring PAK'nSAVE to the Takapuna community. 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 sits within a floodplain that's indicated as having a 1% chance of being flooded in any given year and includes two overland flow paths. The proposed design has been carefully developed to respond to these challenges, with the retail floor located on level one above an undercroft carpark and includes a civil engineering solution to safely manage stormwater and flood risk. '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,' says Rowles. 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. Foodstuffs North Island is a 100% New Zealand owned co-operative, with 323 owner operated stores in communities across Te Ika-a-Māui operating under the Four Square, New World, PAK'nSAVE, and Gilmours brands. With 2.7 million customer visits in our stores and online every week and 24,000 Foodies across the North Island, we play a big role in Kiwis' purpose is to make sure New Zealanders get more out of life and we aspire to be one of the most customer driven retailers in the world.

Winter Travel Heats Up These School Holidays At AKL

One of the busiest travel times of the year is about to kick off at Auckland Airport, with nearly 800,000 travellers heading off for sun-soaked escapes or wintery adventures closer to home. Travel volumes are already ramping up, with the domestic terminal busiest on Thursdays and Fridays, and international travel peaking over the weekends during the school holiday break. Auckland Airport Chief Customer Officer Scott Tasker said New Zealanders love to travel and outside of the Christmas rush, the July school holidays attract some of the largest passenger numbers through Auckland Airport. 'We'll get around 60,000 travellers flying in and out of AKL on each of the busy days, roughly split between the international and domestic terminal – that's about 18 per cent more than our usual daily travel numbers. 'Flights to the US and China are in high demand, and because aircraft mostly depart in the evenings, that's when international departures volumes will be at their highest.' Checking your international carry on bags To ensure travellers have a smooth trip through the airport, international travellers are reminded to pack their carry on bags carefully, particularly when it comes to powders, liquids, aerosols and gels (PLAGS) due to security requirements. Mr Tasker said the new Computed Tomography (CT) X-ray scanning machines in use at Aviation Security at the international terminal, and most lanes at domestic, means travellers no longer have the hassle of needing to remove laptops, phones and tablets in their cabin bags during screening. 'It's a good idea for everyone to double check your bags before coming to the airport, which helps to keep queues moving quickly and safely. Due to security requirements for international travel, people need to be conscious of the size of the containers they have in their carry on. They can only carry liquids through security in containers of 100ml or less, regardless of how much liquid is inside. 'At the international terminal, don't forget to also empty your water bottle before heading through security. You can refill it at a drinking fountain once you're through. A little preparation does help keep everything moving,' said Mr Tasker.

More than 14,000 travellers are expected to depart international on Saturday 28 June, while over 15,000 arrivals are anticipated on Sunday 13 July. For domestic travel, Thursdays and Fridays will be the peak days across the school holiday period. Friday 11 July is expected to be the busiest for domestic departures with around 14,500 travellers, while Thursday 10 July will see more than 14,000 arrivals.
