Over the last few weeks, our team members have been busy stocking the shelves for our opening on Monday 16th May, and they can’t wait to show you around.

We’re always looking for opportunities to contribute to local causes and are looking forward to supporting local community groups and organisations in the Taupo area.

Our team members are excited to welcome local residents to our new-look store. Stop by for a visit. We have parking for 30 cars.
