Ko wai mātou – About us 

Kia ora.  We’re Foodies.  You know New World, PAK’nSAVE and Four Square right? That’s us!  

With 300+ stores and over 24,000 Foodies across Te Ika-a-Maui, our North Island Co-op has the privilege of helping New Zealanders get more out of life.  Locally owned, we reflect the communities we serve, and we celebrate our people - our taonga, every day for being uniquely them.   

Every day, thousands of customers shop in-store or online. To make it happen, our supply chain – one of New Zealand’s biggest – keeps everything moving. With over 1,000 team members, we move more than 97.8 million cartons a year, covering 19 million kilometres — that’s nearly 24 round trips to the moon!
